Friday flowers...still growing

Hello friends!

Has this week seemed super long? YES!!

I have been fighting a sniffle, but I think I'm winning, so thank goodness for Friday.

There's not a whole lot happening in the garden at the moment, but I feel bad if I don't do a Friday Flower post :)

So, here's an update on my "inside bulbs".

They're doing well. I've brought them out of the cupboard and they're now sitting in the coolest room at the back of the house. The crocus is growing well, though it's beard of fine roots are just now getting moving.

I made the mistake of wandering by the half price bulbs at the local hardware store.

These blue hyacinths looked so healthy and were only $5! Well, I could hardly leave them there, could I?

Instead of planting them in a pot, I decided to try growing them in a bowl amongst small pebbles.

They've been under the sink for about 2 weeks now and their roots have started to reach the bottom of the bowl!

They look healthy and strong. I'm hoping the roots growing in amongst the pebbles will hold the flower head upright. We'll see what happens :)

Well, what have you planned for the weekend?

I have to work (again!) but we also have a 70th birthday celebration for Lyndon's Dad on Saturday evening. Just a family thing at his home, but I am planning on baking some thing nice. I just haven't worked out when I can do it.

Have a lovely day and thanks for dropping by :)

ps still SO impressed with the pooter. I put this post together in about 10 mins and that included taking the photos. Must jump in shower and go to work now!
