that i just want to post pictures!!!
i take so many, the other morning the little ( 4 or 5 yr old) boy downstairs was looking out and his mom said, "O, is amy out there working on the flowers?" and he said, "No, she's taking pictures AGAIN."
before i ever thought about gardening, i always dreamed of having black tulips.
ahh...

Very nice Amy!
Meg, a fellow New Havener, has returned to DG after some time away. Have you bumbed into her yet? She is very nice.

What a beautiful elegant looking flower....just beautiful
Those are fabulous! They would look stunning in a flower arrangement - and being black, you could combine them with almost anything :-)
they are lovely. so nice to have a dream come true
Good growing, Amy.

i also bought 2 bags mixed queen of night and renown at lowe's. it was late in the season and they were the only queen of nights i could find at all, after the ones i ordered came looking all moldy and bad - i thought they'd be a total loss. but quite a few came up, and as it turns out, i like the renown tulips a lot too... almost irridescent in the sunlight...
Very nice, though I would call it deep maroon. Seems to be a haven for former New Haveners / Havenites / Havenerians????????
one more:
Victor, locals say NUH Haven with the accent on the 1st syllable.
Amethyst, Are you a college student or professor? I believe Meg is a professor. Oh, I already answered lraepasiti. Read it backwards.
Am I right schicken?

Is there a higher learning facility in New Haven?? I'll be darned.
You've never heard of South Central CT Community College?!
Actually, Meg teaches at the "other" one.
hahahha
if by:
You've never heard of South Central CT Community College?!
you mean southern CT state U (SCSU), my partner/significant other/etc is a professor in the theatre dept. there - and i am a full time student... the almost free tuition sucked me in!
(now i am a 35 year old sophmore/soon to be junior. *sigh*)
nothing like taking a 17 year break between high school and college, eh?
o yeah, i think i heard something about another college in new haven - somewhere downtown, is it?
; )

Hey - I took a 12 year break! I HATED high school sooooo much, I was determined to never put myself in that level of tedium again. Started university when I was 29 - it was like I finally found my home. I have never left since. I am the first person in my family to get a degree, and liked it so much, I got two more. So be forewarned, you could spend the better part of your adult life as a professional student :-)
Amy - it's never too late! Especially when it's almost free!! Wish I had more time to take classes while I worked at Columbia. I always loved learning. HS was not a challenge so I would do lots on my own. College was good but with engineering, it's so intense that you don't have much time to enjoy it. Especially when you have to maintain a certain average to keep the scholarship. The classes I took afterward - for my own enjoyment - have been much more fun and meaningful. Even classes at the local HS are great. Photography, Hudson Valley History, Edible and Medicinal Plants and Hiking are just some that I have enjoyed.
Amethyst, I did goof. I think the former So. Central Community College is now Gateway. Then there is SCSU. I'm an alum. Got my masters there going nights.
