Your photo is beautiful. I have some blooming now too but I don't think they'll stick around ~ the smell is starting to get to me!<br /> <br />btw, thank you so much for offering your old calendars to me (for my card making projects) I better not accept tho ~ I have a pretty big stack already. It was very generous of you tho. :-)Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_korner/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-33591800388895673262010-01-06T08:38:44.039-05:002010-01-06T08:38:44.039-05:00Hi Amy, thanks for visiting, hope you come back ag...Hi Amy, thanks for visiting, hope you come back again.

I don't mind it one way or the other. <br /><br />Noelle, thanks! Still learning to use the new camera...will be in learning mode for a long time I think. The reason it is black is that the flash went off.<br /><br />RainGardener, appreciate it! I have enjoyed getting to know you as well. Here is to a grand new year!<br /><br />Les, I think I am in the middle, I don't notice the 'smell'. Have been surprised when folks mention it. <br /><br />Sweetbay, Happy New Year to you as well.<br /><br />Sue, Sorry to hear about the store sniff...kind of funny, now, after the fact. Happy New Year to you.<br /><br />Lona, thanks, These are pretty scraggly ones...were inside years ago and planted in the spring. Now, geraniums (pelagorium) are HORRIBLE in my mind!<br /><br />Victoria, they sure do photograph well! Glad you like their scent.<br /><br />Phillip, ok then.<br /><br />Frances, learning to do macro shots and trying not to have the flash go off....new equipment! <br /><br />Tina, thanks.<br /><br />Deborah, thanks.<br /><br />Bangchik, pure white flowers are certainly striking aren't they?<br /><br />Lucy, glad I could introduce you to a new plant. Happy New Year to you.<br /><br />Rosey, sorry for the dischord in your family harmony of plant material. think this should have been a pre-marital issue? ;-)<br /><br />Cameron, thanks. I look forward to the daffodils coming in too!<br /><br />Chris, yes they are great this time of year. Happy New Year to you too.<br /><br /><br />Pam, well, thanks for visiting and please come back. <br /><br />Lisa, I am looking forward to warmer weather, that means it is closer to our moving to SC!<br /><br />Rose, yes they do brighten up the day. How exciting to have your Amaryllis blooming!<br /><br />Randy, well, now you know she likes them....how many are you going to plant?Janet, The Queen of Seafordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876204203323750245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-82106670186166364392010-01-04T21:21:10.094-05:002010-01-04T21:21:10.094-05:00Janet,
