Oh I love Green and Gifted!!! I am trying not to fall in love with to many TB's but that is impossible.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

I don't see the "green", but I do like that brown beard!

Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

So are your folks in NC? Glad to see some TB's being grown down here! I agree with Tom, love the brown beard. Really striking.

So far, 17 "Muggles" have shown up and there are at least three more on the way. I need a spell from the masses.

What to do? Maybe some Shakespeare?

What is this? (rhetorical question

)

Ah, an early dream.........

Have you got Dumbledore? That would take care of the muggles. BTW Greg, I may need a muggle.

Dumbledore is right beside and behind the "Muggles" (he cast a spell and duplicated himself). I seem to have a good clump and a bad clump. Bad clump will only produce 5 bloom stalks. Good clump? At least 16!

Hopefully the sun will be out when I get home so I can take a better picture of "Midsummer Nights Dream". The flowers are outstanding, just wish it would grow faster and rise above the foliage.
