The caladium bulbs I got at Buchheit weren’t individually labeled, but on Friday,  I remembered to take a photo. Red Flash is the sun-tolerant one; Pink Beauty and Freida Hemple are regular shade-lovers.

I got to the flutter-guy bushes before they even had tags on them. Two Royal Red, and one Black Knight. I went back after work to get the last Black Knight, but it was already gone. Good thing I grabbed the ones I got without any hesitation!

The purple croci are doing pretty well for their first year.

On Friday, the first yellow crocus was still closed.

Yesterday, in spite of the grey weather, it opened.

At long last, I have my very expensive kidney-shaped pond pot!

What better way to spend a Saturday night than stuffing grapevine balls with alpaca fleece, sheep’s wool, washed cat hair, and milkweed fluff?

The Bloos were too lazy to get their peanuts out of this wreath, but it made a good nest lining material holder!

P.S. This might be a decoy nest, but if it isn’t, we’d better hope we don’t need our stepladders until the Carolina Wren chicks are fully fledged! I enjoyed watching those little birds, hauling bits of sticks and leaves in there. Cute!
