Bulbs are amazing. Saw these when out and about, in January! So welcome.

That bud from the single bulb in water that I bought from Trader Joe is still making me very happy.

Sometimes I think I enjoy buds almost more than the flowers. Possibilities! Here’s to 2018 developing into a very good year for us all.
