Six days till the next Flower Show tour guide meeting -- and view of the show floor. Or maybe five days till the next etc., depending on how badly I'm jonesing for the smell of mulch.
The first hippeastrum started to open yesterday -- apple blossom, with just two flowers, but that's all right. Today it's fully open.
Schlumbergera are winding down, but I still have three plants with blooms, and two of those plants still have unopened buds.
The Nopalxochia outlier is almost fully open, but not quite. The two other buds have a long way to go.
Meanwhile, I had an unexpected gift: one of the rooted impatiens cuttings I overwintered is taking off and it has a flower! Three begonia cuttings, rooted and potted up, have buds too.
Seeds from Park Seed arrived yesterday: impatiens shady lady (blushing beauties mix), and double curled parsley. I will add them to my two kinds of basil and call it a day, seed-wise.
