Posies and this tulip is really purple!

 

The last of the orchids is still blooming. I could learn how the shape of it's pot is working well to give it ready nutrition. It's just a bowl with a hole in the bottom!


I will miss this one, the last orchid for this year. 






And the last of a bouquet in a caldron from May Day. 

Today's quote:

No government can love a child, and no policy can substitute for a family's care. But at the same time, government can either support or undermine families as they cope with moral, social, and economic stresses of caring for children.

  2. Sue got an orchid for MDay. She doesn't have the best lick, but it looks good now.

    1. I guess the only thing I've learned is water it just once a week, very minimal amount.

    1. The ones in the cauldron were gifts for our May Day ritual. I am looking all over for some new ones this week!

  4. Barbara, Love the orchid! We've had a couple of them over the years that just bloomed and rebloomed with minimal attention. Love the deep red geranium blossoms from yesterday as well! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

  7. Never was successful with orchids beyond the first blooming. By the way I think I found that deep red geranium today. Those and other annuals are safely in the barn tonight because we have a freeze warning tonight.

    1. Good you found another geranium that's that deep red. Glad you put it in shelter from the freeze. Your gardens outside will hopefully be ok with the freeze.
