Amaryllis

I bought this amaryllis bulb for a dollar in October and then it got lost in a corner with some junk. I came across it again in April and the box said to plant between October and April, so I gave it a go. I did not expect it to grow, but it went crazy and some days I know I could see it sprouting up as I watched.

Fun with Concrete

When I was out in Washington, my aunt and I made these decorative garden blocks from a kit she had. Since the concrete takes a while to dry, I couldn't take mine home and she mailed it out to me. Thanks Ginny!

This jade plant has quite a history. It came from a cutting that my second (double!) cousin gave as favors at her wedding. The cutting was from a plant that my grandparents gave her parents as a wedding gift! I think I have that right....
