I have really enjoyed your discussions about herbs. My favorite topic. My Mother and I hosted her garden club many years ago and froze the borage flowers in a lovely punch we made. ( as you all mentioned) However we did not remove the seeds or center portion of the flower so the petals wilted and it looked like we have frozen spiders in the punch. Everyone got quite a chuckle out it. Take care. Basil Becky

I think I may have to join Costco later this year just so I can get good Amaryllis! June

My amaryllis are also gifting me with an encore!

I didn't realize that was possible but happy about it. I got mine at Costco too.

Your display of yours is so pretty.

Dee's display was fabulous! I didn't get encores out of my bulbs but several had two stalks, so that was nice. The bigger the bulbs, the more likely you are to get more than one bloom stalk!
