Thank you, Stacy, for sending us some more photos from this weekend. I really need to invest in a new lens for my camera. Mine is so 2009. The main question many of you are wondering, with the daffodil so close to Cece’s mouth, is “Are Daffodils Poisonous?” Let me be clear, children, adults, and [...]

What People Enjoyed Most From My Talks on Saturday…
Last week many of you know I canceled my trip to San Francisco to speak to a garden club, and my trip to New Braunfels, TX a few days before that was canceled as well. I had the flu. A week of rest gave me just enough time to recover for a visit from my [...]
First Blooming Daffodils and Narcissus of the Year
Yesterday I emerged from the cabin for the first time in days. The sickness that had kept me on my back had subsided enough that I felt healthy for a walk on the farm with Rebecca. Rebecca wrote about our journey and made some arrangements for the blog yesterday. I am glad we went on [...]

One moment of peace today came this evening with Valentines dinner. We had a guest, one of Rebecca’s friends, [...]
Bulb Talk in Fredericksburg
It’s late and leaving for meetings about bulb in Weatherford and Ft. Worth early in the morning, but overall, I would say our time in Fredericksburg, TX was a success, albeit cold! More to come tomorrow.
The Original Cottage Living
Saw this tonight on the book shelf…the original Cottage Living from September/October of 2004. That was when I started The Southern Bulb Company! Wow, time really flies. Unfortunately the magazine is no longer with us. Also saw this issue of House and Garden magazine from 1990. Sniff, sniff, tear…they are no longer with us either [...]
