But we'll get her set up somehow. <br /><br />Thanks Tut- I don't mind carnations - in fact I love the way they smell. But it's true they are sometimes overused as filler flowers.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting Catherine! There is a lot more to learn, I'm sure.

Maybe I'll feature them next year. <br /><br />Noelle, great meme, thanks for hosting! <br /><br />Talon, still waiting for mom ;-)Glad you liked the daffs. <br /><br /><br />Bangchik- hopefully I'll hava a pretty okra flower like yours soon to include in next month's bouquet. <br /><br />Ash..you're very artistic, and have nice sense of design, so I'm sure you'd be great at arranging flowers. I don't like it when they look too "arranged" anyway. <br /><br />Ronda, it's funny, my closest friends and family members aren't big commenters - or even readers. I thought it would be that way when I first started. <br /><br />Catmint - maybe Potter and Betsy can become virtual "friends" too!<br /><br />Gippsland, the Altruist ones are pretty, aren't they? They're one of my favorites, too. <br /><br />Thanks, Joanne. I'm sure there is a daffodil named "Sympohony" - I'll have to look for it!JGHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710652130966518173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420871845813973733.post-67069344574592523622010-04-25T10:20:18.840-04:002010-04-25T10:20:18.840-04:00Gorgeous, gorgeous flowers.
