well, I have the gift certificates for Miss Molly's tea room in Medina... one of my customers stopped today and dropped them off. we can all go together. it is a very reasonable place to go with excellent food.
Well, I am enjoying this thread....now, what can I suggest? My daughter turned me on to "bubble" tea, whatever that is. I think it is from Thailand & the "bubbles" might be something like tapioca. Sounds weird but it was interesting. Who would think of tea with texture? I am probably appalling all you Irish folk with the idea of bubbles in your tea.
@Cayuga Morning Bubble tea is from Taiwan as far as I know, and I have had it many times on my travel to there. Also I'm Irish and I'm not appalled
Carolyn,..i like it,..Miss Molly's Tea Rooms,..in Medina,..well i hope both you and Cayuga Morning had a nice tea and snacks,..which reminds me,..i never had that Bubble Tea,..interesting with the texture,..my usual tea is strong,..as we say over here,..so strong you could trot a mouse on it I couldn't make it to Miss Molly's tea room,..i got stuck between Indianapolis and Ohio,..something to do with preparing for the big car race,..i did make a stop had a coffee and some strawberry ice cream. Yummy =============================================================================== I am always amazed at how a rose appears before it is fully opened,..such a change. Rose ( Rosa Memorie ),..also known as 'Icecream',..before its fully developed. Finally. Rose ( Rosa Karresia ).
must have been the Indy 500? next time let me know. I will personally drive you to miss molly's for tea and food. whatever she has on the menu that day. Eileen... if the rodents ate your arum bulb be thankful. Mine rotted this Spring. as I was cleaning up the flowerbed I noticed a depression where they were supposed to be. I put my finger in the depression and it was a rotted mushy bulb... and the stench? WHOO WHEE! I couldn't get the smell off my fingers. disgusting!
Now you come to mention it Carolyn that's probably what happened to mine. Ian thought maybe a cat had been using our garden when he found a buried stinky pile of 'stuff.' It never occurred to me that it may have been the arum which had rotted.
oh, yeah. it was smelly! kind of like rotted potatoes. ever have the misfortune of having one of those that you put your finger through? only this was bit worse.
Oh boy do rotted potatoes smell,..i remember going into the Supermarket and got that smell,..it was all over the place,..probably just the one potato. A mix or roses and Aquilegia,..strange shape on this Aquilegia unlike any of my others. A nice one. This is a new one to appear. The first of this pink No ID rose to appear,..there will be a mass of these soon. One of the paths,
Gosh Philip you have some of the most unique Aquilegia's I've ever seen. Mine are all the usual shapes but I love them anyway.
Thanks Eileen and Carolyn,..my first Aquilegia seeds came from Indiana and Utah in 2009 since then all kinds of colours and shaped have appeared with the aid of seeds from Oregon,..i really do look forward to seeing whats new each year. Campanula portenschlagiana. Geranium. Hosta 'Gold Standard'. Rose ( Rosa 'Lauries Golden Orange'.) Rose ( Rosa 'Memorie' ) Rose ( Rosa 'Korresia' ) Cranesbill geranium 'Rebecca'.
I always look forward to seeing your flowers but your roses are a firm favourite. Lauries Golden Orange is such a wonderful colour and shape. I must keep an eye out for one of a similar one as I don't have any orange roses.
Eileen,..i was thinking how you liked that 'Lauries Golden Orange' when it bloomed,..its the first from that bush this year and its a big rose,..the White has also produced a huge bloom,..six inches across,..so much for the liquid seaweed i fed them. I wish i could take a cutting of your favorite rose and when it takes send it to you,..knock on wood
Rain again today,..nice surprise though,..an Iris sent to me from Indiana bloomed today,..not fully open but getting there. Digitalis 'Foxglove',..have started to bloom,..there are 30 of them all self seeded. Lots of Bee's around.
