Sublime is all.

I wish I had been able to dig up and bring over some lily-of-the-valley from the huge expanse of them at my parents' place in Michigan to force in my sun room here in Cambridge. I also definitely need to get some old-fashioned violets now that I actually have a place to put them… And perhaps a camellia or two some day.

But it's the Camellias that kill me! I need a conservatory…obviously. Love that lavish arrangement. I only potted up my Convallaria in October–I think it's too early to "coax" them as my friend Rob Proctor says…"forcing" is a tad brutal.
