EB - you'...Thanks, everyone, for the comments. <br />EB - you've made me blush; <br />Arabella, Constant Gardener, gz, - 'Portofino' tulip has started to look less nasty, now and the nasty red has changed to the hoped-for cherry veining. But they're still going to be binned, when the petals have fallen.Plant Mad Nigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051715161395516677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849167564811493528.post-16927391503418003192010-05-14T16:10:02.870+01:002010-05-14T16:10:02.870+01:00The tulips look beautiful... or I am biased- I gre...The tulips look beautiful... or I am biased- I grew tulips for my daughter's wedding- and if she had been getting married in April this year the flowers wouldn't have been ready!<br /><br />Commiserations on your aches.

You're much more adventurous than me on your tulips: I stick to my tried-and-tested four or five varieties and thought I was being adventurous this year when I added 'Abu Hassan' to the repertoire (now that is a gorgeous tulip).<br /><br />Bad luck with the MRI scan - it sounds a bit grim. I hope the results are suitably positive to counteract all that claustrophobia.

Everything you could hate in a tulip rolled into one.<br /><br />I wonder if you got one of the new Ben de Lisi gowns? If you haven't heard the name he is a famous fashion designer commissioned to do them so that people's bottoms don't fall out the back.<br /><br />I know what you mean about House - the only thing about it that is truly realistic is the fact that medical people only see you as a hopefully 'interesting' case rather than a real person. I think you were very brave with your MRI.Arabella Sockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10936438011119860497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849167564811493528.post-27847305589748888642010-05-12T17:18:10.320+01:002010-05-12T17:18:10.320+01:00Just seen Cameron and Clegg doing their double act...Just seen Cameron and Clegg doing their double act in what looked like the Downing Street garden. For some reason, the names Tweedledum and Tweedledee sprang to mind.

I dread the day that I should ever need one. I HATE enclosed tight spaces and your description matches my fears perfectly. Hope they find the bother so it can be solved. You want to be in good mettle for Asia! Think of all the eating to be done!Monica the Garden Faeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369882350990949968noreply@blogger.com
