    I'll borrow this thread to send out my 104 year old happy Easter message. Something from my stamp / postcard collection:






    Gilliatt, Love this postcard, too. I collect these types. I have some old ones from my grandmother's house. I should photograph some to show you sometime when I have the time. Right now I am too busy. Glad you showed the addressed side. It is so interesting.

    No qimissung, he belongs to a neighbour. He often comes into the garden, which upsets Milly but she's getting used to it

    Thank's Mary, they are just starting to come out now. Last year there was a spectacular display in the garden and I hope to take some more pictures of roses later as they are my favourite flower.

    I agree Paul, it's always a treat to see blossom but it's a pity that it lasts for such a short time before it's blown all over the place.

    Oh do post some more photos when they blossom. Would love to see the array of colours. I am a grand lover of the rose. It's also my favourite flower.

    Nice photos Emil.
    What type is the stunted, bonzai plant? Looks like a dwarf citrus of some kind.
    I particularly enjoy the still life table arrangement.

    I've had the tree for a few years now and there hasn't been any sign of fruit but I don't know the actual variety. I usually sit out in the garden and read the paper and drink something when the weather's fine. Hence the 'still life.'

    Kittypaws,

    The first one looks like Hyacinth (?) and the second one looks like sprouts from a Chia Pet or something inside a terrium. Nice.

    Speaking of spring, two of my cactus plants bloomed, so i thought I would share a few pictures:

    What kind of cactus is the red one?
    You know I had brain fever, and that is to be mad.
