Gorgeous....I am surrounded by a small indoor garden at the moment...during tax season its all you can hope for...but the amarylis are 10 inches wide and salmon colored...peppermint begonia...and orchids...my hope for spring! When I look at the bumblebee, I think I have to see "Horton hear a Who" ....you captured a tiny world, too. Sharon

That middle one is amazing, the translucent quality of the petal - what a painter you are ! The krokus in Krakow is also splendid by mostly yellow. Did you know that it's part of the saffron family?

Sheila: Nothing like that first whiff of spring to bring smiles to Rochesterian faces, eh?
Kevin: You're welcome. But when are you going to get back to blogging, yourself...?
Sharon: Your indoor garden sounds beautiful. Especially at tax time.
sister M: No, I didn't know that. There's that India connection, again...
Shannon: I'll be sure and make a note of that for my next calendar... are you interested in a job as my marketing manager? ;o)
Gayathri: Yes indeed...
Donna K: Dzieki, dzieki!
Aswin: Thanks!
