Don't try to eat them though. Hyacint bulbs are incredibly toxic.

bonocomet · 03-05-2014, 03:50 PM

Yeah I wouldn't do that.

jeevey · 03-05-2014, 03:53 PM

I think it's a hyacinth, it's just a naturalized type. It looks like maybe your bag of bulbs had some 'sports', some off-bred genetic variations that were not culled out in the production process. It's a pain if you want your flowers to be all the same, or it you paid a lot of money for a certain variety, or if you're getting sports in your vegetable seed and they aren't good to eat, but it's also kind of fun to get a grab bag effect if you were buying a variety pack in the first place.

ClaytonsKitten · 03-05-2014, 04:04 PM

Ugh, hyacinth is one of the ones that brings out my allergies. Heather and hyacinth send me into sneezing/coughing fits. But lavender and lilac are fine for me. My mom has a GORGEOUS lilac tree/bush in her side yard and we always clip some of the blossoms to freshen up her rooms when it is in full bloom. And I usually end up wrapping some in wet paper towels/tin foil to bring home and put in a vase.

dazzledbylight · 03-05-2014, 06:34 PM

omg! you're all talking about

Flowers!

After earlier today walking by a 3 Ft cone of snowpile Chucks in another area- Thought they were broken sidewalk c oncrete till I got a better look!

jeevey · 03-05-2014, 08:10 PM

Dazz, it's not so much the knowledge that's missing as the enthusiasm. I'm reading Neuromancer and presenting a critical essay about gender in Gibson's work tomorrow As you may all imagine, I have a hard time controlling myself when it comes to gender analysis, but science fiction is pretty much right on the bottom of my literary interest list.

dazzledbylight · 03-05-2014, 08:40 PM

Oh well,

sorry you find the genre....boring? I'm often looking for broad spectrum (the various catagories i mentioned to you) SF fans. But good luck on your essay presentation!

Heh, well i have to keep a lid on it at times re gender/feminism issues. Pick my battles, per se. So I hear you.

dazzledbylight · 03-05-2014, 08:46 PM

Back to something else i love: FLOWERS!

Thanks, comet, for sending us pbhotos! I've seen those poppies planted here in nyc!

As for tulips, we have a panoply of them: very tall French ones, tri- or 4 colored frilly ones, smooth shaded from yellow to orange onesrious bi-color ones, the small 1 color ones ( we have big single-color ones too.

not for another ?4- 5 weeks

Yeah I don't care what comes up as long as they're pretty.

Maybe it was some sort of variety thing that was mostly tulips but had some other things in it. I don't know anymore.

I'm just glad things are blooming!

Everything comes up early here because of the weather. I don't think plants have a clue what season they're in here!

Erk!

That was supposed to be.........

"... snowpile. There are 3 inch thick slabs of dirty grey ice in small-medium piles in another area- ..."

Oh i know that ! Still a bit frustrating at times./

What schocked me when ages ago i had a friend in Seattle was thier extra-early ?rhodadendrines bloomiming in mid Feb vs ? late Feb-early March .
We don't get those till ?late April or Mid-May!

Didn't know till she explained how the currents send warmer air up there vs us in (usual) Feb.

MsPurrl · 03-06-2014, 12:09 AM

We got more snow here in Indiana today. I must confess, though: I'd rather look at white snow on the ground than brown dead grass--it's SO depressing.

Galeongirl · 03-06-2014, 07:22 AM

Well, you have a place to stay in Boston if you don't mind two dogs (well by then one since Foley is old) and two kids. But what we will have is Scott's home brewed beer on tap.

GraceRyan · 03-06-2014, 08:39 AM

And weather here still sucks. It's March and 20F or -6C. At this rate nothing will bloom. I am tired of my winter coat. Sick of the chunks of ice lining everything. We don't even have fresh snow, just old dirty ice.

What kind of dogs?

Home brewed beer on tap? I'm in!

ClaytonsKitten · 03-06-2014, 09:38 AM

YAY! My Hard Rock U2 shirt came today! (Ordered it Mon night)

It's that 'signature' one they did last spring for Amnesty International.

Would've bought one rather than order online but we never made it to the Hard Rock Cafe on Sunday when we were in Cleveland for a spontaneous trip to the Rock Hall.

OH. Btw -- they allow cameras now!

Just no flash or video.

I should upload the U2 pics I took. Maybe a thread here in the PLEBAns forum? That way they can be seen without digging through our PGP chatter?

JJAsi · 03-06-2014, 11:48 AM

GG takes the beer while I take doggies for walkies
