I do have a couple of amaryllis growing inside. I'm waiting for bloms. I also have cyclamen that I keep inside until they begin to get yellow leaves. I planted six in the garden yesterday as it was time for them to be outside. Cyclamen are the perfect winter bloom for us here in Texas. They'll bloom into June usually. I buy them and use them in arrangements in our home for the holidays, then transplant them in the garden after a few weeks. I've more to move outside, but that will have to wait till next week.<br />Such a beautiful setting on your table which always makes me feel like I want to be there. ~ SrahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01873375271470225199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244312641135825556.post-21593755075594339632010-01-06T13:15:31.518-05:002010-01-06T13:15:31.518-05:00I miss the NC winters - but I've heard they...I miss the NC winters - but I've heard they've been BAD this year!?
