I have a streptocarpus ('Black Panther') blooming on my kitchen counter right now and it's making me very happy. I think I could easily become addicted to them. Your 'Roulette Red' is especially striking. I think I bought mine to help me get thru the winter too ~ anything to help the cold weather pass easier and faster. I've had it for quite a while now ~ I hope you have good luck with yours. I'll have to post a pic of mine soon (since I don't have any other flowers blooming right now). Your fall blog header is great too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-43084539474893959382009-11-07T00:19:30.488-05:002009-11-07T00:19:30.488-05:00let me just say...you have a special touch...it do...let me just say...you have a special touch...it does not matter how hard I try...I kill these even before I get them home! <br />your blooms are just gorgeous girl...enjoy them!<br />have a great weekend...I thank you for linking in to share with us!Tootsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313167135644565141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-3511528430271263182009-11-06T22:59:09.346-05:002009-11-06T22:59:09.346-05:00I wanted to get some of those too and then Summer ...I wanted to get some of those too and then Summer came and I forgot to order some.

I did find a bit of digging around my new bulbs, but they didn't go deep enough. Not sure if it was them, or a dog or cat. No squirrels here either, the trees are too small. You must get to Inniswood someday. Just let me know and I'll meet you there. Our trees are actually pretty bare, those photos are a week old!

I haven't seen but a couple of pretty trees around here. The leaves are just turning brown and falling off. I don't understand it because we have had plenty of rain this summer and fall.
