Snow falls on St. Francis


and covers all


the sleeping bulbs!




The new orchids!

OK... so I've been a little busy lately. There are some new orchids in the collection and some of the non productive ones have been donated to the Orchid Society. They auction them off to new homes gaining money for the society and hopes of success for the new owners! The Greenwich garden is under snow and ice now. I planted 100 tulip bulbs just before the snow hit! Hopefully Mischievous Squirrel didn't see me planting them. We all know that he will assume that they are a spring treat for him! Have a good winters nap my lovely garden...See you in the spring. My thanks to Mischievous Squirrel for maintaining my blog while I was so busy. I haven't seen you in a long time...Are you settled down for a long winter's nap too? Maybe some seeds ON THE SNOW...NOT ON THE DECK...can lure you out!

There's a new garden here in Greenwich! After many years of being separated from the soil, we have been reunited. My man has kindly built me a raised bed in the yard. The plants and seeds are in, so now it's all about waiting and watering. The flowers in the front of the house are looking very happy. I'm hoping to create some more flower beds in the front. There is a "rescued" orchid that has just come into bloom for the first time. Gotta love the rescued plant. You never know what you'll get! Good or bad, it's always rewarding to revive an ailing plant and get it to bloom for you!
