enriched all our lives with these worthy
thoughts:

Picked my first three daffodils today. They were a lovely surprise. Also, I
still have some nasturtiums in flower, never had that before at Christmas
time

A short length of Bidens ferrulifoliae, growing in a windy box
outside the bathroom window, has been accidentally trapped the last
time someone closed said window, and is thriving in the warmth and
humidity engendered by two daughters, who spend at least half their
day in there doing god knows what. It produced buds over the weekend
and is now in flower. :~)

In the windy box outside my study window, Nemesia 'Confetti'
is *still* flowering, and has been, non-stop, since March 2000.

I know what they are doing, Cormaic. They are making up for a goodish
competition to all the other lovely flowers around you! I can only offer
you the sparkling ice-flowers on my new glazed patio - minus 18 degrees
outside and atleast 30 cm of snow.
Happy new year - every day a new gift.
