| HI Gordon, I couldn't get to the site. It said the file is inaccessible. :-( |

| Lucky you, Gordon! The heat from your roof must be bringing a hint of the Mediterranean to your garden. Couldn't see your album either — could be you need to set it up for viewing by others. |

| Lovely photos Gordon. I've got a few (as in VERY FEW) blooms still going outside. My Rozanne geranium (which has been going nonstop since May) has a one or two blooms left. One of the mallows has a few blooms left. My newest rose, Lagerfeld, has a few buds left. If we get a warmesh day it will bloom. In the past, when we had those mild winters, I could still get blooms up to the first week of December on the roses. Ciao,

| Oh my, do I lust after those brugs! I have one pellie trying hard to bloom and a fuchsia that's been going great guns ever since it got cool. Everything else has pretty much pooped. |

Meg..
Well LUST right over here and get a cutting.. start it rooting in water now and pot it up iinto a small bit of potting soil in a few weeks.. and have some of these babys blooming right there next summer.. it's oh so easy.. plenty of light .. perhaps some bottom heat .. and sun.. and plenty of feeding as they are hungry plants.. give it a go.. I must have gotten 3 dozen new ones to go with the dozen or so varaities I had before .. come on start small.. then look what that lust has gotten me.. Gordon |

| hehe, Gordon. Well, I've got one that I ordered from eBay. Let's see if I can at least keep it alive before I brutalize any others. |

| Gordon, I finally saw it now too. Beautiful. Isn't it so nice to have a bit of summer inside. |

| As a recepient of Gordon's generosity, I can safely say this man has some excellent brugs! I asked for one or two, got five or so, and they're all rooting in a vase right now. I'll pot them into very light mix this weekend, and then next summer I'll have to choose which ones I have room for! Thanks, Gordon, Jim |

| Well Jim.. you're most welcome... hope they root out for you... the large plant you left had a wonderful large flower.. and dropped a few other buds.. and I've about eradicated the mealy bugs it arrived with.. better watch out for the ones left at your place you might be harboring some there also.. the hoyas are doing fine .. under a bright light at a friends house..

| My indoor Gardenia is finally coming into bloom ... and after this harsh and barren winter, it smells heavenly. |

| Spotted 5 March at around 2:30pm in SW Brooklyn frontyards - Clusters of crocuses breaking through! ... do we hear Spring footsteps yet? |

NY... Great work with the gardenia.. not an easy one there
Lotus... well they are under snow again... do you think that was the last of it... Gordon |
RE: 11-19-04 Blooming inside and out in NYC

| One needs zen and patience, Gordon :-) Tomorrow, the 20th of March - after some "snow and rain" - is the first day of Spring! |
RE: 11-19-04 Blooming inside and out in NYC

Lotus.. and again on Wednesday... so don't bring them outside quite yet...
I did plant a little red lotus this week... in my inside water container.. I can scarcely wate....
Spring... bits and pices of it showing forth...
My Zen master is leeding a retreat in Fl now... maybe Zen and spring is... moving to where spring is.. now that's Zen... Gordon |
