Floriferous Friday

I'll be a little quiet for the next couple of days or so... there's a post scheduled to appear Monday.

Have a wonderful weekend!

I've been watching these hyacinth bulbs Very Closely! :-)
Can you tell that Bulb #1 is beginning to bloom?

Now - a few other items worth the mention...

Speaking of "floriferous!" (Did I mention, Messy?)

Can you find the three new "branches" on this orchid?

Loaded Kalanchoe

Want to take one more look at the hyacinth?
Mr. Shady's instructions? (Something I thought I'd never say. ha.)
"Don't go too near the kitchen sink!"

As well as being floriferous, the hyacinths are "odiferous!" (Something that makes Mr. Shady sneeze!) ha.

Happy Valentine's Day, early! Enjoy your weekend. :-)This little vase was purchased in Stillwater, MN - a "Sisters' Weekend" a few years ago. :-)

There are a Couple of Tulips Growing...

...but they're not more than 1 1/2" tall.

There are a few daffodils growing, but they're not over 1" tall.
There are a few other (Fall-planted) bulbs growing...
but nothing flowering, as yet.

Oh! I am so excited!

This is what I found today.

More little, bitty, early crocus.
A few muscari (grape hyacinth).

You will enjoy (as will I) these blossoms when they open.

But, for now...
this will do!
