Hello every body, I just had to put in words my sadness when I saw the Tulips and Daffodils freeze. They were coming up and I was glad to see them although I worried about the possible change in temperature. I live in Pennsylvania where it has been very cold and snowy of late. The plants decided to stick their little heads out and of course we are at minus temperatures now. The flowers I am sad for are not in my yard but I used to look at them as I walked my neighbors dog. Suddenly Winter became cold and dingy on the outside so I fled to my nice warm house where my Oxalis plants greeted me with open foliage.
