surprise surprise


I know the name of our cat.


But I do not know the name of this bulb plant.


So, I call them Surprise Flowers.




If anybody knows their real name, feel free to share it with my millions of readers and I.
It's always nice to be informed.


I've had some pop up in the past, but this year I have had more than I've ever seen.  I plant bulbs throughout the year, then just the right conditions come along, and they surprise me and bloom.

They are sure making my October gardens look pretty.

They look like they're in the family of what we call "Naked Ladies" or "Surprise Lilies". Yours are just a bit different, though - but the "stalk" looks very similar.

I do not know the name but they are unusual looking. They do add surprise to the garden and also make for good conversation. You seem to have a green thumb. :)

this and that

So, I get up this morning, and the rag-rug fairy tied all my rag-rug pieces together and had them wound in a nice ball.  I think I will leave more out tonight and see if it can happen again. OK.  I like Ross now.  These shoes were $1.49.  Purple velvet DUCK SHOES.  IN MY SIZE.  My plans are to go into that store every time I get groceries from now on.  Can't beat $1.49 for some of the neatest shoes in the world. I have seen this in a couple of places on blogs and the internet in general.  I was fully planning on ordering one....but our Kroger store had them for $12 something.  We've made 6 or 7 cups of coffee with this in our K-pot....and I am tickled to have it. I can now buy fun kinds of ground coffee.....not to say that Wal-Mart store brand decaff is a fun brand, but it's what I always used to drink.  And I lived. These are useful, not beautiful.  I need useful when I garden.  I bought some very low cost sni...
