Comments on: Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day – February 2009 http://hayefield.com/2009/02/15/garden-bloggers-bloom-day-february-2009/ A Pennsylvania Plant Geek's Garden Thu, 09 Sep 2010 16:19:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Jan(ThanksFor2Day) http://hayefield.com/2009/02/15/garden-bloggers-bloom-day-february-2009/#comment-1320 Jan(ThanksFor2Day) Thu, 19 Feb 2009 03:40:33 +0000 http://hayefieldhouse.com/?p=1115#comment-1320 I noticed someone else commented that they'd never seen witch hazel until reading GBBD posts...well, I'm in the same category Nan! I think my first introduction came from visiting Frances! Now, I just love looking at them. If I could think of the right spot in my yard, I'd love to have one...but I'm not sure that spot exists. I loved your tour through the nursery. I haven't ever seen, nor heard of, Echeveria peacockii, prior to your post! What an interesting bloom that is! I had to resort to buying a bunch of colorful indoor houseplants because I was going stir-crazy with no color outside! Unlike some other Virginia gardeners, my daffodils haven't even popped up yet! I enjoyed your GBBD post! <em>Hey there, Jan. I agree: Frances' images of her witch hazel ('Diane', if I remember correctly) are incredible. I don't blame you for investing in some houseplants to get you through the next few weeks. Then hopefully, we'll both have some outdoor color besides white and brown. -Nan</em> I noticed someone else commented that they’d never seen witch hazel until reading GBBD posts…well, I’m in the same category Nan!

Hey there, Jan. I agree: Frances’ images of her witch hazel (‘Diane’, if I remember correctly) are incredible. I don’t blame you for investing in some houseplants to get you through the next few weeks. Then hopefully, we’ll both have some outdoor color besides white and brown.

I really do long for one, though fear our winters are not quite right. <em>Thank you, Elizabeth, for the reminder that I ought to consider myself lucky. I promise I do! I've been paying old witchy much more attention since Bloom Day. -Nan</em> Anyone who has witch hazel has no reason to show plastic flowers.

Thank you, Elizabeth, for the reminder that I ought to consider myself lucky. I promise I do! I’ve been paying old witchy much more attention since Bloom Day.
