Today is the last day for spring orders! Some of the crinums we have for sale will not be for sale again for a long time as we move to propagate them to larger numbers.

Ann Swan has finished her latest piece, and many are pronouncing it their immediate favorite. The drawing is a fabulous rendition of the South's famous spider lily, Lycoris radiata. Thank you Ann, for helping us preserve our gardening history through your fine pieces of art.

Last week was a busy week, and it started with the Friday before with a talk at the Texas State Master Gardener Conference in Conroe, Texas. The master gardeners have a fabulous display garden that the entire group pitches in to help with.They also had some Byzantine gladiolus blooming, but it looks like they were planted late or squashed by something because they were a little stunted. They will overcome that by next year.

This week is another week on the farm. Ann Swan's spider lily prints have made it here and I will begin to ship those out to the customers who have pre-ordered them. The renovations to the lake are completed and it is beginning to fill up with water!
