I love ferns.<br /><br />Julie--May your move finally get straightened away & your internet be constant. We, your readers, miss you. I know how draining it all is, though. <br /><br />Oh Tina--You are too kind, as always. But I'll take it. I sent you an email re: David Austin roses-in-containers...<br /><br />PGHC-thank you, though White Flower Farm in Connecticut deserves the praise.

White lilies are my favorite but I have to keep them in my studio because my husband sneezes etc. etc. I know some people find the scent overpowering - and it is - but I can't get enough of it. If I'm sitting at my computer and they're behind me and I get a strong whiff I know that one is opening at that very moment. I always turn around to see. Such great companions...like flower pets.<br /><br />Catherineceeceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15962254736526651858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587196777215085377.post-41181968300011065792010-07-29T13:16:13.445-04:002010-07-29T13:16:13.445-04:00I feel so stupid, I had no idea Susan meant lily.....I feel so stupid, I had no idea Susan meant lily...Mary-Laurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05014386827410465480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587196777215085377.post-70497909761326959922010-07-29T12:38:33.599-04:002010-07-29T12:38:33.599-04:00Those lilies are just lovely.Those lilies are just lovely.Post Grad Hair Cuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787864481823372166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587196777215085377.post-14559779320191798112010-07-28T21:06:47.779-04:002010-07-28T21:06:47.779-04:00Oh, Susan, I love when you reminisce!

Talking about flowers, these are lovely, but I have my mind set on roses in pots (ever since Tina mentioned how they grow well in pots.) We were on our way to get some the other day, but it turned out the garden center Terry thought was there closed down. And, Terry was only there like, what, 15 years ago. Never thought to double check the address. Anyway, hopefully we'll get some this weekend and will share some photos. Take care! xoxo Hope the power's been back on for good!tina tarnoffhttp://www.tinatarnoff.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587196777215085377.post-58817525146597195542010-07-28T20:52:20.016-04:002010-07-28T20:52:20.016-04:00HI Susan
