Hi Jo....missed you! My brother passed away last May, so I haven't been to Pittsford since....maybe this summer, but I will come by bus or train....too long a drive for me now....I have lilies Red Velvet, Chocolate Canary, & Lion Heart....love them all....Do you have any new kitties? My niece has just bought a red Maine Coon kitten....sooo cute!

How nice to see/hear all this flowery talk on a blizzard-y night. Now all the planes and trains are grounded! Pivie, perhaps I missed your explanation, but can you say more about your special morning glories? As you know, morning glories are among my fave blooms. Lovey dubby

Me too Marilyn, Phlox Blue Flame ~ Phlox paniculata 'Blue Flame' has dark blue buds that open to blue and white flowers. The gorgeous flowers are held atop strong stems that have excellent branching. It has good resistance to powdery mildew. Plant Size: 12-16" tall, 18" wide, Bloom Time: Summer to Fall

I love those! Especially in containers, which I use a lot d/t space restrictions.

I love containers Janice. I can have a lot more flowers up close! The nursery/farm I used to get my stuff at closed last fall and my other favorite one closed the year before Thumbs down so I'm going to try these from seed...hopefully they will germinate okay.

I am setting up a new shelf and light system this week in a little enclosed area I have off my kitchen. The small heater I have seems to be keeping it nice and toasty so I'm going to set things up in there. Lots of natural light too and I don't have to carry all the trays upstairs.
