    Jealous! I've only got 4 blooms now out of hundreds of plants. Maybe in a couple of weeks I'll be able to make a beautiful bouquet.

    Wow! Those are beautiful! Good luck with your talks on roses.

    /Z and I are on our own again until next Friday night. Todd left this past Thursday a.m. I will have to watch the oscars without him.

    Those are so pretty! No daffodils blooming here yet, but even if they were I probably wouldn't have enough for a bouquet like that.

    Your beautiful flowers are the next best thing of having my own. Mine are coming up nicely though. Spring is just a few weeks away.
    Thanks for sharing!

    What a bunch of sunshine. They certainly make my heart go pitty patter and I can't even smell them. I don't even have buds yet. It won't be long if the temps stay as warm as they predict this coming week.

    Beautiful! You are lucky to have so many flowers to pick, even when the roses are still asleep.

    I can smell them from here! My first opened this week, only one so certainly not enough for a vase.

    I like it. Sure wish I knew the name of the orange center/yellow outer Petals.

    Several of mine have opened overnight. So have my Lenten rose. If I can get home at a decent time I'll get some pictures. Tulip trees on the way to work are just fantastic.
