Almost Friday..........

I can't say that the dahlia did badly this year but yet this is only the third bloom.  I have hopes for a good flower if the weather gets warmer.  It has the look of a waterlily as it slowly opens up its petals.

A transplanting job that has been long overdue.  The two larger violets are full grown and are still in my intermediate stage planter.  They have set a year with plastic over them and they are in good health.

 I had some new soil and put them both in pots of their own.  I put the larger flower in the smaller pot.  That sounds senile doesn't it?  I don't like the pot I put that larger one in and will buy a newer larger container for it the next time  I go to Wally Mart.  I like the plastic pots with good drainage so I am less apt to overwater them.  The ceramic pot that I used isn't big enough and I don't think that it drains very well. I do have three of my violets in bloom right now. I lost a few plants because of the neglect that they had during some phase of my life.

I will finish today with a view of the last splurge on iris.  I am not getting my money's worth with this as there is only one rhizome in the package.  I will quit buying now and get it planted today. 

I am a half day sub in the sixth grade English room today.  I know there are full days coming ahead so I am enjoying the half day stuff.  We are cold today, below 50 degrees and it will stay cool all day.  I guess a warm up is on its way tomorrow.  Thank you for stopping in today.
