lblanchardTwo of the three wee offsets from the Great Papilio Caper have sent out leaves, and both are chugging right along. This is good.
And, to make my happiness complete, one of the conjoined triplets from the bulb Valerie gave me has two little leaf nubbins -- they just sprouted yesterday. Given that all three of the triplets share a basal plate, I am hoping this is a harbinger of more sprouting.
In other news, it didn't quite make it to 100F today. It made it to body temperature -- 98.6F -- and then started to fall. So far it's down to 95, which is cool only in relation to the earlier number.
Oh, and the Martin Invaders put on quite a show yesterday, their first bloom of 2014.
