  1. Last fall we planted a few peony roots that we got from White Flower Farm in Litchfield, CT (we've been visiting and buying online from there for about 45 years). We planted three different ones and all three bloomed this spring. This one is called Bowl of Beauty, a Japanese form. The inside starts off creamy yellow and turns to white.

  3. The White House has a brand new app so you can keep up with their version of history. Look at the version number. 🙄

  4. We just got this grow tent and set it up. It contains several phalaenopsis orchids and a paphiopedilum. The humidifier tracks temperature, humidity and vapor pressure deficit. Most of the orchids are putting out flower stalks. One of them has two.
    Typical daytime conditions:
    Temperature - 83°
    Humidity - controlled at 65%
    VPD - 1.4kPa



  5. Today is our 50th wedding anniversary. We celebrated by attending a festival in Westminster, .
    It was great meeting our , and kindred. So much community.
