Should they be saying this? I don't know. But now they've got me saying it because I'm at a loss for other words. Something unexpected just happened. I don't think I'll ever again be quite so happy and surprised to see a bulb about to bloom.

OMG! :)
I'm happy that you are happy.
That looks like a pincushion flower.
Access was pure luck and probably fleeting. A huge surprise. Happy to see things alive and get a chance to weed and mulch. Would have been nice to get the plants, but there's really nowhere to put them right now. Maybe we'll get lucky and secure some other space. Thanks Jen! Frank, it does, but it's sea thrift.
Oh. I have that too!
