Day 190: Not in a flower pot. Not in a vase. This is how I prefer my Easter bouquet: outdoors, with their little feet planted firmly in the ground so that they can do what plants do best, i.e., grow and bloom, and make more plants. That said, I have been known to cut a few on special occasions, but now Merry provides a neat excuse for forgoing that. I'm sure he'd love to eat them or tip a vase over. The species tulips I planted last fall have made a poor showing, just two or three each of red and white. Likewise, the crocus bulbs must have been eaten by something, because even my old ones didn't show up. However, the alliums are coming along nicely, although they aren't putting up buds yet. The explosion of colour I had envisioned for my front flower bed certainly didn't live up to expectations, although stirring up the soil allowed the double daffodils to spread. Where I once had only a few, now I have dozens.
