» Wow, that's unbelievable. In one week I've seen my bulb shoot up to about a foot and a half. (I wish I'd taken pictures)
Sounds like lots of things are going well right now. Spring is coming! Enjoy!

» hooray for fred! He's looking good there, as a good spring plant should be.
And heaps of congratulations on the new apartment. It sounds like a step in a great direction. ;)

» I never even knew corn plants got flowers on them. ( I guess you can see I'm not from "the heartland", eh?)
I always felt this same feeling when my Tazetta narcissus would get ready to flower. Those are the bulbs that you can put into a bowl with just gravel and water and they'll just go to town as if they were planted in soil. Very pretty things, like daffodils made of rice paper.
Alas, with our cats around, we can't really grow these here. I've been wondering about the "hows" of setting up some sort of window box garden, because my enormous childhood flowering backyard (which I did all the planting and maintenance of) was the one and only thing about the suburbs I still miss even now.
