1. Beautiful, especially the first one.

Nothing like that here yet. We've got about 4" of new snow and it's still snowing. Not supposed to last much longer though.

IIRC, you also have an Olympus (although newer than mine).

3. I can't wait to see the Violet Gordon in bloom

Edited on Sat Mar-20-10 01:04 PM by Xipe Totec

It is a fragrant azalea.

Hint: Violet is the name of the creator, not the color of the flower.

4. That star magnolia bud is awesome. They're both nice, but I just want to take

the first one home and buy it a hamster habitat or something.

6. Thanks! Here is another one; a Winter survivor this time

Edited on Sat Mar-20-10 06:44 PM by Xipe Totec

Left over dry blooms from the hydrangea, which managed to survive through snow, sleet, and rain.

10. Hydrangea are some

of my favorite flowers. I really love them. They're so delicate it's amazing those petals survived.

Thanx, Xipe!

18. Where have I been, I have not seen this thread.

Now that I have, all I can do is sigh and appreciate what you are showing.
Believe me, I do.

Thanks, I just love beauty brought to me so eloquently.
