Remember this pot of Daffodils that I showed in my last post? Well, the Daffs are starting to fade and fall over but the Hyacinths are open now and they fill the house with their lovely scent. (As you can see I've had to tie them up).
In the pot with the Amaryllis you can see the yellow sticky thing that catches the gnats. Some of them have obviously survived the Hydrogen Peroxide treatment because I still see a few flying around. I don't dare drench again because a couple of plants were not too happy with all that water and began to have yellow leaves.
A bit of excitement this morning. As we sat in the sunroom having our breakfast we noticed smoke billowing from the roof of a house on the street behind us. We think it was empty now but as recently as Christmas I noticed lights were on. No fire trucks showed up so DH finally called 911 and it wasn't long before they came. Using the zoom I was able to get a picture. The houses on the street behind us are all destined to be demolished eventually, and no doubt this will hasten the end of this particular one.
I should have waited until Mother's Day to post this teacup. I love the pretty violets.
Thanks for visiting, GM
What excitement! Good that your husband called the Fire brigade out.
ReplyDeleteI love the violets on your tea cup.
Looks like the tea set has small serving plates? What a talent you have growing indoor plants!!
ReplyDeleteHope the fire was not arson.
Good thing no one was living in the house.
ReplyDeleteLove your Hello March picture.
Hard to believe Feb is gone already.
Good thing your DH called the fire dept so at least it didn't spread. Hyacinths are very fragrant!
ReplyDeleteThes first spring flowers coming out from their special onions always make us happy. Such beautiful colours! Yes, I remebember the yellow photo with the flower-cup and - we call them "Easter-bells".
ReplyDeleteYour plants always enjoy best care.
Big compliment you and your husband calling the rescue to stop the fire! You are a blessing for your environment and more.
Best greetings from the still in the mountains snowy Bavarian Forest!
Love those furry gnomes!!!
ReplyDeleteMarch means daffodils to me. I love them. They were our wedding flowers for our March wedding many years ago.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing you noticed the smoke and called the fire department. Indoor bulbs are so pretty. Hyacinths' scent is strong, but I love it.
ReplyDeleteI love your pretty pots of spring flowers. Daffodils never last long enough for me. Tulips either.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I'm so glad that your Hubby called the fire department. That's some excitement you can do without.
The teacup is beautiful. Purple is my favorite color so violets are a sweet choice of mine.
Blessings,
Betsy
Lovely post
