I can well imagine the peace and contentment you find pottering in your various flowerbeds, and the joy of harvesting and eating your own fresh veggies. They look so colorful and delicious.<br />Oh my, Camelias, Caladiums, Coleus (so large and lush)....your Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-91478405840293048272010-11-11T06:59:14.318-05:002010-11-11T06:59:14.318-05:00Dear Ami,

Wow, those are a lot of papperwhite bulbs you purchased. I bought a papperwhite growing kit last year, after they done blooming, I tossed them away thought these bulbs are just one-time thing for us living in South Florida. Now I read more, seems I should keep them to see if they can rebloom for me this year or next. Anyway, good luck Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744078497819915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-3771552857529493342010-11-10T07:35:09.525-05:002010-11-10T07:35:09.525-05:00WG,

The Queen Emmas are recovering nicely from the onslaught of Easter Lubber Grasshopper damage.

Your new camellia is very pretty. I actually like the sasanqua's better because they produce more blooms. The japonicas need a cold winter to bloom for very long...as we learned last winter.<br /><br />Good luck with your paperwhites. I look forward to seeing a post on them.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106128705768954876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-55262855251164684162010-11-08T12:33:15.209-05:002010-11-08T12:33:15.209-05:00FlowerLady,

I still have a few leaves here and there, but the show is definitely over in my garden, and some cultivars have fallen completely into slumber. <br /><br />How interesting to learn that paperwhites grow here!
