Another cold rainy day, then starting to warm up with temps in the 80's by the weekend...Winter to Summer with a few days of spring thrown in...Typical Wallowa County weather...Everything is lush and green just waiting for the sun.
We are enjoying yesterdays bouquet and I'm trying another one with poppies...Found some info on the internet about using poppies as cut flowers...They recommend that you cut a poppy bud just as it starts to show color, then sear the bottom of the stem before putting it in the vase into cold water along with other flowers...Supposedly by trapping the milky liquid in the poppy stem it will feed the bloom causing it to open and last for a few days...Time will tell...It doesn't make a very pretty bouquet but is an experiment worth trying.
Rather pathetic waiting for the bud to open.
Power went out last night just as I was almost finished with a mystery on Masterpiece Theater...Wouldn't you know that the laptop battery was saying 5% and I needed to recharge...Turned off my laptop went to bed and still no internet this morning...Finally about 8am internet was restored and I finally got to see who the "murderer" was....Hugs To All...OWAV:)
