Four bunches of cut stems with the flower buds covered by a thin brown layer like onion skin. I placed them in two Vases with some sugar water and a few drops of lemon juice. They immediately perked up and started to grow.</p> <p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LUHJALsslac/S4apQiGfgLI/AAAAAAAAG3U/2MBm3Yecy0s/s1600-h/2010_0222thu0002+%28Medium%29.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LUHJALsslac/S4apQiGfgLI/AAAAAAAAG3U/2MBm3Yecy0s/s320/2010_0222thu0002+%28Medium%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442223301220860082" border="0" /></a> The golden trumpets and surrounding petals are so evocative of warm spring days to come, with a gentle breeze blowing the flowers around. Like golden can can dancers bobbing along on the wind. They are warm to look at, even with our cold and wet winter still being here.</p> <p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LUHJALsslac/S4apL8z5RXI/AAAAAAAAG3M/c_teDYwufw0/s1600-h/2010_0222thu0001+%28Medium%29.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LUHJALsslac/S4apL8z5RXI/AAAAAAAAG3M/c_teDYwufw0/s320/2010_0222thu0001+%28Medium%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442223222491268466" border="0" /></a> The light illuminates the flowers like church windows. I want to plant loads of bulbs in the <a title="new house" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/new-house/">new house</a> so I can enjoy the spring when it comes. We finally have the go ahead to start packing boxes. The trials and tribulations are almost over!<br /> The plants need digging up and storing in pots ready for the move. The garden here is awash with the white of the Snowdrops, the purple flowers of the Primulas, and the orange/tiger stripes of Crocuses. The garden Daffodils are growing in earnest, with the odd flower bud shown.<br /> The new house will have a <a title="new garden" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/new-garden/">new garden</a> to develop from an almost blank canvas. I can paint the garden with colourful flowers including my favourite Daffodils and Narcissus. <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10768347-1189976230766070179?l=snappycrocsgarden.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <div style="display: none">VN:F [1.6.3_896]</div><div class="ratingblock"><div class="ratingblock "><div class="ratingheader ">Rate this Article</div><div class="ratingstars "><div id="article_rater_30563" class="ratepost gdsr-soft gdsr-size-24"><div class="starsbar gdsr-size-24"><div class="gdouter gdheight"><div id="gdr_vote_a30563" style="width: 0px;" class="gdinner gdheight"></div><div id="gdr_stars_a30563" class="gdsr_rating_as"><a id="gdsrX30563X5X0XaXarticle_rater_30563Xarticle_loader_30563X10X24" title="5 / 5" class="s5" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX30563X4X0XaXarticle_rater_30563Xarticle_loader_30563X10X24" title="4 / 5" class="s4" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX30563X3X0XaXarticle_rater_30563Xarticle_loader_30563X10X24" title="3 / 5" class="s3" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX30563X2X0XaXarticle_rater_30563Xarticle_loader_30563X10X24" title="2 / 5" class="s2" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX30563X1X0XaXarticle_rater_30563Xarticle_loader_30563X10X24" title="1 / 5" class="s1" rel="nofollow"></a></div></div></div></div><div id="article_loader_30563" style="display: none; width: 120px; " class="ratingloader article"><div class="loader flower " style="height: 24px"><div class="loaderinner" style="padding-top: 2px">please wait...</div></div></div></div><div class="ratingtext "><div id="gdr_text_a30563">Rating: 0.0/<strong>5</strong> (0 votes cast)</div></div></div></div>
