Who cares, it&#8217;s still beautiful.<br \/>Before I begin posting again next week, here are just a few moments from this busy time of greenhouse glass fixing, moving plants back into the greenhouse for the winter, late summer gesneriads in the greenhouse, early cyclamen species and the new martin house installed last week in the new garden that I am constructing on the east-exposure of the house, and in front of the greenhouse. Only thing left to do now, plant a few hundred bulbs of galanthus (snowdrops) and lillium (lily bulbs) to plant which just arrived in the mail, and about 150 boxwoods. Oh yeah, and finish my book!<br \/>Seems like my camera is acting up too&#8230;.no time to fix that, just yet. <\/p>\n<p>Off to bed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new focal point in the blue and gold garden- a super-deluxe Purple Martin house.
