Grandma and I have always wondered about those folks who talk about how difficult it was to deal with children as they went thought the various stages of growing up. We've heard about the terrible twos and the difficult teens, but somehow they never seemed to apply to us. I think we both experienced both periods of child-rearing, but thought it was part of the process and, hopefully, they were only temporary.
In fact, we look back on those days as being the most rewarding days of our lives. Of course, things always look different in the light of the years that have passed since we were in the child-raising mode. Time has a way of dulling the sharp edges of unpleasant experiences and in many cases, we tend to remember only the good experiences.
One of the big issues in our home was neatness. Grandma was a neatness fanatic. If there is such a thing as reincarnation she would live her next life as a vacuum cleaner. To her, a cluttered house was an indication of a life that was not quite in order.
Our four daughters considered their individual bedrooms their personal domains. In other words, they thought they should be able to do what they wanted to do inside of their four walls. "After all," they would cry, "isn't this my room?"
Grandma's biggest concern was unmade beds… they were supposed to be made up when you got out of them. Clothes on the floor? You were supposed to hang them up or put them away when you took them off. Cluttered bathrooms? You were supposed to put the makeup paraphernalia back in the vanity drawers when you were finished with it. Grandma's concerns were valid. In her mind, if they didn't practice neatness at home what kind of pigsty would they live in after they left home?
One day, in a discussion with a friend about the messy bedrooms our friend gave grandma a revolutionary piece of advice. "Why don't you shut the doors to their bedrooms?" she asked, "then you won't see the mess." Simple enough, right? Wrong! After thinking about it a bit grandma replied, "But, even though the door is closed, I will know," she replied.
During our many years together there have been some rare occasions when I would unwittingly suggest something was so unimportant that disregarding it would be the simplest thing to do and, certainly, the easiest. Grandma would always reply, "But, I will know."
Our lives are like those bedrooms. We clutter them up and then shut the door on the things we don't like to see… pretending they aren't there. It is easy to do that with what we call sin. If we don't firmly choose to always do the right things in life then we clutter up our minds with sin, one on top of another, until the pile gets too ugly to look at, then we shut the door to that part of our being. But, like cluttered bedrooms, we always know what is behind the closed door.
Each of us chooses how we want to live our lives. We may not have control over everything in our lives but, we can choose to open the door and clean out the garbage that has accumulated, or we can choose not to. God has made it easy for us to do a thorough house-cleaning. He has even given us directions. The Bible says if we confess our sins God is sure to forgive us and he will remember our sins no more. What more could we ask? Once we have cleaned out our hearts and minds we can then open wide the doors and let his light illuminate every part of our lives.
Grandma and I have learned over the years that God's promises are true. We know from experience. His ways always work out best for us. But, for me, I'm still not sure about making up the bed.

The Saltillo Christmas Parade has been rescheduled to 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 10, according to City Hall. It was scheduled for tonight, but the threat of more rain moving into the area forced the change.
This is the second year rain has affected the parade. Last year's event was rained out and not rescheduled.
Check back tomorrow for additional photos from Lee County's Christmas parades.

On a trip to Veracruz, Mexico, we photographed local people at work. A mask maker invited us into his home where his workbench had the rough beginnings of a face mask. Bracing up against the bench with an old Leica camera Derk squeezed off a few shots. Then another mask maker posed holding some of the wood masks that would be used in Mexican festivals.
In the blacksmith shop we looked through the open door where the smithy was working. Our photograph caught sparks flying off the hammer as a glowing iron rod was beaten. The hot furnace can be seen in the background.
The most unusual work we encountered in Veracruz was a man who chiseled salsa bowls out of rock. He proudly lifted a finished bowl. We photographed it through his barred window.
In the cities people walking the streets all became photo ops. We photographed a meat market, shoe store, churches and more. It was surprising to see a Nintendo store. And homes with barred windows close to the sidewalk gave glimpses of daily life. All are available on ImageKind as posters, prints or framed prints.

Fanny Younger and her mother, Blanca Di Cecco, have volunteered more than 10,000 hours combined at Sarasota Memorial Hospital.
That's the equivalent of at least five years of full-time, 40-hour-a-week work. It means that mother and daughter, both from Longboat Key, have spent more hours volunteering than the 8,760 hours there are in an entire year.
Younger, 56, has a pin that recognizes her 1,000 hours of service over the past five years. It will take her a long time to catch up to Di Cecco, 83, who has volunteered since 1991 at the hospital and received a 9,000-hour pin in September.
Already, Younger is following in her mother's footsteps:
Oct. 17, she received the hospital's "President Award" for her volunteer work, an honor Di Cecco has also received.
Di Cecco was a longtime volunteer at Southside Hospital in Long Island, N.Y. At age 14, Younger joined her as a candy striper.
When Di Cecco retired in 1991, she began volunteering at Sarasota Memorial because she needed something to get her out of the house. More than a decade-and-a-half later, Younger began volunteering at the hospital in 2007, shortly after her own retirement.
Both Younger and Di Cecco say that many people believe that hospital volunteer work consists of nothing more than delivering flowers. Both know better.
Di Cecco volunteers at the Waldemere Desk doing dispatch work, but that's not all.
A few years ago, hospital workers noticed that patients were often forced to put their eyeglasses in shoes because they didn't bring a case and asked for suggestions. Di Cecco began sewing cases out of scrap fabric to meet the need. She now sews as many as 600 cases per month.
Di Cecco, a Puerto Rico native, also helps out whenever the hospital needs a Spanish translator.
Younger volunteers running whatever errands are needed in the dispatch office, while also chairing the hospital's teenage volunteer program.
Both women see how the little things make a big difference to patients, such as showing a lost visitor to the room they're looking for instead of pointing out directions.
Younger hopes that she, like her mother, will be healthy enough to follow in her mother's footsteps to 9,000 hours and beyond. But 9,000 hours isn't a stopping point for Di Cecco.
"As long as I can walk, I'll volunteer," she said.

Associated Press
Publication: theday.com
Storrs (AP) — Linebacker Graham Stewart, who returned a blocked punt for a touchdown against Ohio State in last season's Gator Bowl, has transferred from Florida to Connecticut.
UConn says the 6-foot-1, 227-pound Stewart, a native of Durham, Conn., has already enrolled in summer school. He will have to sit out next season under NCAA rules, but will have three years of eligibility remaining.
Stewart played sparingly for the Gators last season, recording one tackle and scoring his lone touchdown in the bowl game.
He helped Xavier High in Middletown to the Connecticut LL state championship in 2010, recording 11 tackles, with five sacks and an interception.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter two 9-by-2-inch round cake pans. Sprinkle with flour, and tap out the excess; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk cake flour, salt, and cocoa; set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the sugar and oil, and beat on medium speed until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add food coloring and vanilla, and beat until well combined. Add flour mixture, alternating with buttermilk, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
In a small bowl, mix baking soda and vinegar until combined. Add to batter, and beat for 10 seconds. Evenly divide batter between the prepared pans.
Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool in the pans for 5 minutes. Remove from the pans, and return to the rack to cool completely.
If you want your cake to be even redder, increase the food coloring by one to three tablespoons.
Hahaha cool. U can do the "android version" like that too. See what happens on buy tablets
I dont know what everyone else is tasting but all we could taste was oil. I followed it exactly but 1 1/2 oil is insane. Worst cake EVER.
I'm so pleased to look at this. This is actually the type of manual that should be given and never the random untrue stories that's in the other blogs. Thank you for discussing this.tablets on sale sdsDS34fd
Its provide us with plenty of interest and pleasure. Its chance are actually fantastic and style so fast. Its a genuine bit of content. It generates for me lots of pleasure and interest. tablets on sale
How many people does this recipe serve?
This recipe was fantastic! Moist, melt in your mouth satisfaction. Defiantly going to be putting this one in my recipe box.
I did use splenda sugar mix and cut the food coloring to 2 tablespoons. Coating these cakes with creamcheese frosting from this website.
I am new to this site and feel compelled to respond to Nayana Rajeevan's question of 23 Jan. 2013. I hope that my doing so is acceptable to Martha Stewart & Co. Nayana, the answers to your questions can be found at the following website: http://www.onlineconversion.com/weight_volume_cooking.htm
1 stick of butter is 1/2 a cup. 1 stick of butter is also 4 ounces, which is 113.398 grams. Hope that helps.
Although I do not know what it has to do with this recipe, which uses butter only for the cake pans, not in the cake batter, I feel compelled to respond to Nayana Rajeevan's question posted on 23 January 2013. A helpful website for converting food measurements can be found with this link: http://www.onlineconversion.com/weight_volume_cooking.htm
One stick of butter is 1/2 cup. In ounces, one stick of butter is 4 ounces. 4 ounces [weight] = 113.398 grams
Hope that helps.
heyy can anyone tell me the conversion of one cup into grams? is one butter stick equal to 100grams?
I made this cake for Christmas last year. It was a huge hit. My husband thinks the frosting was too sweet, but he was alone. The rest of the family really liked it. And the cake itself - without frosting - would be just as enjoyable. It's a moist cake with a pleasing flavor. Red or not, it's a fantastic chocolate cake.
Whos Stella Parks?? Red velvet cake??
I can't wait to make this cake, this is the recipe I have been looking for. I wanted a Red Velvet cake that uses cake flour and vegetable oil. Thank you for posting this and I look forward to making it for my Holiday Party!
I was looking to Martha Stewart for a more traditional recipe, one that evokes the true culinary magic of natural cocoa turning red in the presence of something acidic like vinegar or buttermilk. The name of the cake historically refers to the velvet texture. The huge quantities of red dye were only introduced during the Great Depression to promote the sale of food coloring. For a superior recipe -- one that contains NO food coloring, not even beet juice -- I recommend Stella Parks instead
simple. delicious. elegant. didnt change a thing except reduced the sugar by a 1/4 just because it felt like too much. would definitely make again to make an impression!
Absolutly gorgous cake.... moist and yummy..... however i use this as a filling and icing....
1/4 cup cream cheese
2 Tablespoons butter sofened.
mix untill creamy... then add
1 cup icing sugar
3 Tablespoons of thickened cream
80 grams melted white chocklate
mix together and yummy!!!!!
Thanks Martha for the great cake recipe!
This is the best red velvet cake ever!!! I've been baking cakes regularly for three years now, and this is my most requested cake. I do have my own cream cheese frosting recipe that I use with this cake. This cake is moist, not too sweet, great color. But one has to REALLY follow the instructions, esp the last part, where you only stir in the batter, the baking soda with vinegar for "10 seconds". One time I wasn't paying attention and overstirred.The batter overflowed while baking!
I absolutely love this cake delicious!!
i used coolwhip +(store bought) cream cheese frosting, folded it together and BAM!! AWESOMENESS!!
This was a wonderful cake. My family and I really enjoyed this cake. However I made a cream cheese frosting.
Absolutely THEE best red velvet recipe I have made. It was so incredibly moist that you could even eat it without any frosting!! Thank you Martha this will be a definite keeper!!
I made this cake for an audition for a TV show in the UK. I was really pleased with it. The frosting looked great, the cake tasted good. (I put a bit in a cupcake case and baked it) Took it along and the two celebrities judging had this to say on the crumb: " too doughy" "bland" "flavourless" "left a baking soda tang in the throat" . The frosting was not nice apparently - the meringue should taste of smooth caramel and have a bit of a crust. I was at a loss.
Made cupcakes - very moist and yummy! Changes I made were: regular flour in place of cake flour (didn"t have any in the pantry) and only about 1/8th cup of red food coloring ( all I had on hand). I also used a cream cheese frosting. Recipe is a keeper!!
Yes Claire86 I did have to add extra time too it .The middle was a little wet still when I first tested it..This tasted delicious however when it was finish! :)
Where do you purchase Red Food Coloring in that amount...the ones we buy here in Ottawa the bottles are about 1 inch high not 1/4 cup in that!

Did anyone else have to add an extra 10 minutes to baking time??? When I tested the cakes at 30-35 mins they were NOT done! Jiggly in the middle and the cake tester came out with wet cake batter on it. :P I followed the recipe strictly, so I'm not sure what happened...BUT, they sure turned out delicious!!
Try this version. Make 2 cakes batches, 1 red and 1 green but use ONLY 1/8 cup (2 OZ) green, trust me on this one for the 2nd cake. Make 3-8 inch layers of each batch. Assemble 2 cakes, one red/green/red and the other green/red/green. Frost and decorate with silver cake beads and glitter for a frosty, snowy, dreamy look. When you cut the cake it is beautiful. I also grew up with the cake and this is my version. Enjoy
Ack, never mind - I must need eye glasses. Swear I did not see the buttermilk ingredient first time I looked. Sorry! But try buttercream frosting - it really is delicious too. :)
Love ya Martha, but no, red velvet cake is NOT simply chocolate cake with lots of red food color! I've grown up loving my Mom's authentic southern red velvet cake recipe, it calls for buttermilk and has many differences from a standard chocolate cake recipe. Also buttercream frosting, although cream cheese icing seems to be the standard now - I understand what is considered authentic depends in part on region.
This cake is AMAZING! I made it for an Aunt's Birthday and everyone LOVED it! Avery one raved about how moist it was. I used the cream cheese frosting instead of the 7 minute and it was a great pairing. A cousin liked it so much he asked ME to make the same cake for him for his birthday and not his Aunt who is an expert baker! Thanks Martha!
Lil help needed pls. I own an OTG - Morphy 28 ltrs. A newbee to baking - Can I pre-heat the otg at 350F for 10 mins? - At what temperature do I bake the cake for 30-35 minutes (as mentioned)?
I made this cake for a birthday party and was so happy with the results! I only added a 1 oz. bottle of red food coloring, instead of the 1/4 c. (2 oz.) the recipe calls for, which produced a very red cake and used Martha's cream cheese frosting instead. What a great recipe. I will definitely be adding it to my repertoire.
I am from Israel. I wish to know how much butter need to use for this cake (gram). We have a deferent quantity here.
I wanted to do something special for my husband on his promotion to captain. Searching for a recipe for a chocolate red velvet cake I found and trusted this one ..OF COURSE ANYTHING THAT HAS THE NAME MARTHA STEWART ATTACHED HAS TO BE A GOOD RECIPE. Two hours after the cake finished baking it was gone and my husband was in his favorite chair asleep and happy. Thanks Martha.
I made this for a Mothers Day luncheon. It was the best cake EVER !!!!!!!
Anyone know the conversion to use gel food coloring instead of liquid?
This was an amazing cake for a friend's birthday. So moist and delicious! I also used the cream cheese frosting recipe found here: http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/ultimate-cream-cheese-frosting
The cake was alright but I hate the icing.
Excellent! Extremely moist and delicious. I found the red coloring to be fine as is and not necessary to add more food coloring. I prepared with cream cheese frosting and it was wonderful. I highly recommend and will definitely make again and again!
This is the best chocolate cake I've ever made - or tasted. I use vegetable oil instead of canola oil.
This is one of the best red velvet cakes I've had! It came out very moist and delicious! I used the cream cheese frosting and got many compliments.
This is a great cake that isn't hard to make, yet very impressive! I loved it, so moist, chocolatey, and pretty! I used a thick chocolate ganache frosting and it came out decadent!
Try the wonderful cream cheese frosting that is listed with Martha's hummingbird cake. It is delightful and I am using it today with this recipe.
The frosting link is working again. If you run into trouble, here's the web address for it:

Fantastic. I made cupcakes from this recipe and they were divine, very moist and spongy. I topped them with cream cheese frosting, haven't tried the 7-min. frosting yet.
the seven minute frosting recipe is unavailable ! someone have it???
My Valentine's Day cupcakes were moist and yummy! Baked about 20 minutes, topped with Seven Minute Frosting. They looked so pretty that I didn't even add sprinkles! I'll keep this recipe...
I made Valentine cupcakes with this recipe (and Buttercream frosting). I agree with the previous comment: check on the cake! I baked the cupcakes for 25 minutes. I didn't have cake flour, so I used all purpose flour, sifted it 3 times, and remeasured. They are the best cupcakes I've ever made.
This recipe is Fabulous! I searched for THE Perfect RV Cake recipe, and this is it. It's light in texture and has an excellent crumb. It's not heavy like a lot of other homemade cakes. The flavor is yummy, and the cake was very moist. I baked it for 28 minutes. I would recommend checking the cakes before the minimum baking time. I added an extra tablespoon of coloring. It had a nice, dark red color. Thanks Martha for delivering a cake recipe with everything I was looking for!
This was delicious. My in-laws say it's the best birthday cake to date. I'm going to use this batter to make cupcakes for Valentine's Day.

So...this has probably been thought of already, but I was wondering if it would be possible to make a TF2 gambling website based on in-game inventories and competitive matches (but it could expand to UGC too, http://www.badum-tish.com/). Someone thought of it on reddit and I was wondering if y'all had already thought of something like this.
I personally would be super interested in getting a project like this started, but I have no expertise, so I couldn't do it alone lol.

Welcome to the first-ever General Art contest since this forum changed to a LEGO-in-general focus, and the 18th contest total! This contest's theme is LEGO Battlescapes.
What is a battlescape?
Well, use your imagination! It can be a vast landscape with thousands of warriors, or it could be two opponents only with a backdrop (like the banner above). It could be Bionicle, Ninjago, perhaps LEGO Universe against the Maelstrom, Hero Factory, maybe real-world-like -- whatever you want! It could fit with canon or be purely made-up. It could even be a fusion of styles, like System plus Technic. You decide!
Categories for this contest will NOT be decided ahead of time. I will decide them for the polls based on how many entries of what kinds we get.
Plus, there's a twist -- you get to enter more than one image! Up to three per member. See rules below for the limitations.
Entry period begins now; ends on Tuesday May 15, at 11:59 PM EST.
(This is the updated, final closing time after two extensions.)
1) All entries must qualify under General Art rules (so no comics or animations). See this forum's rules for more detail.
2) Must depict a battle of some kind; a fight between at least two opponents.
3) Must include the setting for the battle.
4) Must be LEGO-based.
5) Each entry must use the entry form below.
6) Each member can only enter up to three images.
7) You may only have one entry per post (polls will link to posts, so this way it'll be clear which image each link refers to).
NOTE: I give permission to double-post after a period of at least three hours if nobody else has posted so that your entries are in individual posts. This exemption only applies to separate entry posts; if you merely want to add a question or make a comment, edit your existing post or wait until someone else posts.
8) Each member can only win with one image. Tiebreakers and similar methods will be used as needed.
9) Prizes will be determined at a later date. Only the first place category winners are guaranteed prizes, but I will note second and third place winners in the contest archive.
10) Prizes may involve mailing, so do not enter unless you are willing to divulge mailing details to BZPower staff (but do not give that out publicly).
11) Do not rely on massive filesizes. The entry image you direct-link (display in-post) can only be 500 KB or less in filesize as per BZPower rules, though you may make that a link to a larger version of it that would show detail better (see entry form for more).
NOTE: If you are displaying a smaller image to fit in the 500 KB limit, this MUST be a scaled-down version of the entire image, not a cropped portion of the full image.
12) You are encouraged to include a thumbnail image that is no larger than 150 pixels by 150 pixels in size, for the polls. You can use cropping, scaling, or both for this, but it must represent your image. If you do not include one, one will be made for you and you might not like it.
If anyone needs help resizing images, you may ask for it here or by PMing me (you may link to the large images here before officially entering them in such cases; just don't use the entry form until you have an image small enough).
13) Please do not enter the image until you are satisfied it is finished. You may change images minorly (for example, coloring a pencil sketch), but it's best to simply wait and post it closer to the entry period's end. You must notify me of all changes and I reserve the right to deny any change if I think it's too much.
NOTE: Likewise if an image you entered violates the rules you may switch it for a qualifying one, but again you must notify me.
14) Entries must be appropriate for young children. I reserve the right to disqualify any image I feel crosses the line, and if you are unsure if something is okay, please PM it to me instead of posting.
Obviously the issues of violence and physical damage are likely to come up in this one; my general guideline is to use the same rules LEGO used in canon Bionicle, which was basically that any acrobatics and weaponry in battle are fair game, as long as no organic damage is shown. I'll make one part simple -- NO blood allowed, but armor damage and "deconstruction" (as in 2001 Toa canisters or minifigures "smashed") should be fine.
15) All art must be new (as in not shown on BZP before).
16) No flaming, spamming, impatience-posts, PM advertising, etc. Use common sense as always on BZPower.
17) Discussion, questions, and comments about the contest are, yes, are allowed here in the entry topic, in addition to entry posts.
18) This contest is open to all BZPower members, staff, and contest assistant(s) (except me).
Edit: Thanks to Eeko and Bulik for volunteering as assistants. No need for more at this time.
19) I reserve the right to edit any and all posts, if I spot a problem in them I can fix with no need to consult the poster, especially format problems.
20) If you are unsure about anything and don't wish to publicly reveal your plans, please feel free to PM me your question.
Entry title: [this line is optional] Member name: [use the name you want permanently on record] [img]UNDER500KBPICURL[/img] [url=THUMBURL]Thumbnail[/url] Art medium: [describe briefly if it's hand-drawn, computer art, a mixture of both, sculpture, etc.] Other links: [optional; link development images, and/or a topic for your entry] Artist comments: [Very briefly explain what the image is about.]
Replace "UNDER500KBPICURL" with your entry image, or a scaled down version of it. This should be the ONLY directly-linked (displayed in-post) image in your entry form. All others should be linked to.
Replace "THUMBURL" with your thumbnail image (optional; remove that line if you're not doing it).
If you wish to make the main image a link to a larger version, replace the img tag line with this:
Click for fullsize: [url=LARGEPICURL][img]UNDER500KBPICURL[/img][/url]
And replace "LARGEPICURL" with the larger version of the entry image.
Entry List:

Do you have a question that is not answered on this page? Click here to submit a Help Desk Ticket. We will get back to you promptly.
Spring-flowering bulbs must be planted in the fall. We take orders for fall delivery from the beginning of the year until the window for fall planting closes (usually some time in December). We try to anticipate demand, but some selections do sell out. If you order before fall arrives, you should get all the bulbs you order. After receiving your order, we reserve your bulbs, waiting to deliver them until the ideal time for planting: when soil temperatures in your area approach 55 degrees F. We will not charge your credit card until we ship your bulbs.
Note: Gardeners in Zones 8-10 in the South and on the West Coast must place orders for tulips, crocuses and hyacinths by October 15 to allow time for shipping and precooling. For more on precooling tulips (and other bulbs), click here. If you are not sure of your zone, see our Zone map.
Click here and fill out the online form. Current customers automatically receive a copy of the current year's catalog in late July.
Yes. To keep our prices low, we do not accept orders of less than $50.
Yes. Please be aware that there is a $50 order minimum and that bulbs must be ordered in the multiples specified in our catalog and on this website.
Bulbs are reliable and rewarding workhorses in any garden, and they are the best source of early-spring color. Tulips and Hyacinths do best in well-prepared beds. Daffodils and the smaller specialty bulbs are especially amenable to naturalizing in the yard and landscape. Be aware that most flowering bulbs require well-drained soil and at least a half day of spring sunshine to thrive.
In your first season we recommend dividing your budget among a variety of bulbs--e.g., a mix of crocus, blue squill, daffodils, alliums and tulips. That way you can see what you like and determine what works best in different areas of your garden.
All Colorblends Solids tulips and most daffodils are also available in quantities of 25. There are many Colorblends city gardeners.
For the most part, yes, but we also offer many individual varieties. We can ship any single color from one of our blends (in multiples of 100 only), so long as orders are placed before Sept. 15.
We maintain inventory of several popular varieties that are not listed in the catalog. We can also fill special orders, so long as (1) the variety is available in Holland, (2) the order is for a multiple of 100 bulbs and (3) the order is placed before Sept. 15.
The bulbs in our blends come premixed in a single package. You can sometimes tell one variety from another by the shape or color of the bulbs, but the whole idea behind the blends is to have a randomly mixed planting. If you would prefer to have your bulbs separated by variety, let us know and we'll try meet your needs. We can accept single color orders in mulitples of 100.
They are inexpensive because they are smaller than Colorblends bulbs (see our Size Matters page). Large and healthy flowers come from topsize bulbs.
Please refer to the chart below. We also provide bulbs per square foot with each item description on this website. To calculate the square footage of your bed, see our bed area calculator.
Bulb Type | per sq. foot |
Tulips, standard | 5 |
Tulips, wild | 9-13 |
Daffodils, large | 4-5 |
Daffodils, miniature | 6-11 |
Allium Globemaster | 1-2 |
Anemone | 20-24 |
Chionodoxa | 20-24 |
Crocus | 8-12 |
Eranthis | 20-24 |
Fritillaria imperialis | 1-2 |
Fritillaria meleagris | 10-11 |
Galanthus | 16-18 |
Hyacinthoides | 5-6 |
Hyacinthus | 3-4 |
Muscari | 14-18 |
Scilla | 15-16 |
Bulb size is measured in circumference using centimeters. Here's how to convert to diameter in inches: bulb size in cm / pi (3.14) * .39. So a 12cm+ bulb is at least 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
Yes. Turnaround time on orders placed in fall is very fast, but we recommend ordering early as some selections sell out. If we've run out of what you're looking for, we'll be glad to help you choose something else that will suit your needs.
These are relative bloom times. Because climate varies greatly across the United States and no two springs in any given place are exactly alike, we favor these relative terms over specific months. As an example, an Early variety planted in Memphis may flower 4 weeks before the same bulb planted in Chicago. By selecting bulbs from each category, you can orchestrate a longer blooming season.
Yes. Please call us toll free at 1-888-847-8637 for details.
No. We ship only to U.S. addresses. Government regulations making shipping outside the U.S. prohibitively complicated and expensive.
We have just one pricing structure, which is what you see on this website and in our catalog. For orders over 20,000 bulbs, please call 1-888-847-8637 and ask for Tim.
Purchase orders are accepted from approved institutions, companies, government agencies and organizations. Government agencies, cities, states, counties and public schools are automatically approved.
No. We offer only spring-flowering bulbs, which must be planted in the fall.
Please see How to Order for shipping charges.
Spring-flowering bulbs are shipped at planting time in the fall (Sept.- Dec.), when soil temperatures in your area approach 55 degrees F. The first shipments for fall planting leave our warehouse at the beginning of fall (the third week in September). Paperwhites and Amaryllis are available beginning the third week of October.
No. The once-a-year, spring-flowering bulb crop isn't dug from the ground until late July and the bulbs don't arrive in the United States until September. Temperatures in late August and early September are still too warm for shipping and planting bulbs. The proper time for planting is fall (mid-Sept.-Dec.), when soil temperatures in your area approach 55 degrees F.
There is a trend in the industry to rush the harvest to get a few extra days of sales in early September. We feel that this is a bad trend and harms the bulbs and next year's flowers. For more information see Fingerspitzengefuhl.
Sorry, no. Bulbs for fall planting are only appropriate as favors if your wedding is between September 20 and Christmas, depending on your location. For spring and summer weddings you must consider a different type of favor. Please call 1 888 847 8637 if you need bulbs for favors. We want to ship your favors so that they arrive at least a week before the big date so that you have time to package them - you have enough details to manage without worrying about last-minute deliveries. The bulbs must be planted in the fall (Sept.-Dec.) before the onset of winter. You cannot store flowerbulbs indefinitely.
Newlyweds, new homeowners, relatives, churches and neighbors will appreciate your gift of Daffodils and other bulbs for many years to come.Please plan your gift to arrive at the appropriate time for planting in the fall (Sept.-Dec.) before the onset of winter . We can ship your gift to your friends, along with a gift card and a gift receipt. Just let us know.
Our first priority is to ensure your success with flowerbulbs. That's why we GUARANTEE to deliver commercially propagated, disease-free bulbs of the stated size and of the highest quality available. We also guarantee that none of our flowerbulbs has been collected from the wild. All flowerbulbs have a certificate of health issued by the United States and Dutch Departments of Agriculture.
If you find a problem with your order, please contact us (1-888-847-8637) within seven (7) days of delivery. We will straighten things out in a courteous and prompt manner. After safe delivery, we cannot assume responsibility for losses due to factors beyond our control (extreme weather, improper storage, delayed planting time). If you have any questions, please call us at 1-888-847-8637.
First, open all crates and boxes. Then place them in a cool, dry, dark area with good air circulation. Temperatures between 50 and 60 degrees F. are ideal, but your bulbs should be fine within a range of 38 to 70 degrees F.
No. The bulbs must be planted in the ground to establish a root system before going into dormancy for the winter. If you have a January thaw, you might be able to get your bulbs into the ground before the soil freezes again.
You can try planting the healthy bulbs. Discard all bulbs that feel soft or dried out. The bulbs you plant may or may not grow and flower.
There are two methods of getting bulbs into the ground. The first is to dig a hole for each one using a trowel or a bulb auger. (See the care instructions enclosed with your order or the Planting & Care section of this website for bulb spacing and planting depths.) This approach is best used for informal plantings or for minor bulbs such as crocuses, squills, snowdrops and grape hyacinths.
If you're planting large quantities of tulips, daffodils, or hyacinths in a bed, we recommend that you excavate the entire area to be planted, set the bulbs in place, and then backfill the soil. For photos and more information, click here.
Your bulbs will arrive this fall with next year's flowers already set inside them, so there's no need to fertilize at planting time. If you intend for your bulbs to be long-term players in your landcaspe, you may want to fertilize lightly with a low-nitrogen fertilizer in early spring, when the shoots begin to push through the soil. Go easy. More fertilizer doesn't make for more or larger flowers; it just goes to waste.
We recommend that you snap off the top 3 inches of each tulip stem to prevent the bulbs from expending energy on producing seeds. The spent flowers of all other bulbs need be removed only for aesthetic reasons. Don't cut the leaves; they are storing up energy for next year's flowers.
After they bloom, spring-flowering bulbs store up energy for the following year's display, then go dormant, usually within 6 to 12 weeks. As they go dormant, the foliage yellows and withers and finally dries up. This is perfectly normal.
You must wait to remove bulb foliage until it has yellowed and is on the verge of collapse. If you cut or tie the foliage while it is still green, you are depriving your bulbs of their means of producing next year's flowers.
Tulips (and many other spring-flowering bulbs) need a long cold period at temperatures between 35 and 45 degrees F. to bloom properly. In zones 8-10 in the South and on the West Coast ( click here for Zone map), the soil temperature never drops below 45 degrees or it doesn't remain there long enough. To have a good tulip display in these areas, gardeners and landscapers must cool the bulbs in a refrigerator for a minimum of 8 weeks (we recommend 10 weeks) before planting them in late fall (late November � early January). The bulbs can remain in the refrigerator longer--up to 16 weeks without deteriorating--but we don't recommend planting later than mid-January. We suggest that you order tulips before October 15 to allow sufficient time for shipping and precooling.
Two other suggestions: First, leave the bulbs in our yellow mesh bags during their stay in the fridge. Second, do not put any fruit (apples in particular) in the refrigerator while the bulbs are in residence; the fruit gives off ethylene gas, which may damage the flowers inside the bulbs.
Please note that in zones 8-10, tulips, crocuses and hyacinths must be treated as annuals--i.e., dug and discarded after bloom. Bulbs left in the ground won't receive a cold period, so they won't bloom again in future years.
In all likelihood, there is nothing wrong with your bulbs. In general tulips are not strong perennializers, meaning they don't come back well the second year after planting. Many horticultural magazines and garden writers say to treat tulips as annuals. They say the only way to have a knockout display every year is to lift and discard the bulbs after they flower and replant new bulbs in the fall. Why is this so? All quality topsize tulip bulbs come up perfectly the first spring after planting, but after flowering the bulbs have a tendency to split into many smaller, non-flowering bulbs that produce leaves but fewer flowers.
Some tulips are willing (but not guaranteed) to bloom well for more than one year. See Perennial Tulips for more information.
There are several things you can do. First, choose a location that receives full sun (at least six hours of direct sun, preferably in the middle of the day) and that provides well-drained soil--deep sandy soil is ideal. Avoid a site that is irrigated in summer; tulips like to be dry during their summer dormancy. Second, snap off the top 3 inches of the flower stem as soon as the blooms fade to prevent the bulbs from expending energy on seed production. Third, allow the leaves to ripen naturally; wait to remove them until they have completely yellowed.
Note: Tulips are not strong regenerative growers. Even if you follow the above recommendations, the bulbs may not flower well after their first spring. Some tulips are genetically pre-disposed to bloom well for more than one year. SeePerennial Tulips for more information.
Most spring-flowering bulbs, tulips included, are very frost hardy. They are rarely injured by late cold snaps. They should be fine, and actually like cooler weather.
Sure. The tulip bulbs sit well below the reach of most plant roots, and they benefit from upstairs neighbors that take up extra moisture in the soil (tulips need to stay dry during their summer dormancy). The ideal companions are vegetables and annual flowers, because they can be planted after the tulip leaves yellow and they can be pulled up in fall, making way for the reappearance of the tulips the following spring.
Note: If you plant near sprinkler systems or overplant with annuals that require lots of water, your tulip bulbs may rot.
Several of the Daffodils we offer should do well in your area. See Southern Recommended for more information.
Yes. Look for "Western Zone" in the information box next to daffodil varieties. If it says "to 10," that daffodil should do well in Southern California.
Yes, but there are a few things to keep in mind before you get started. First, you need to plant a lot of bulbs to get the desired effect. You can start with several hundred bulbs in one area and add to your planting every fall. Second, planting in unprepared soil can be rough going. Make sure you have an area where the soil is workable. Third, to have a natural-looking planting, plant the way nature plants and avoid straight lines and predictable patterns. Articles on naturalizing daffodils recommend that you toss handfuls of bulbs out onto the ground and plant them where they lie. Finally, daffodil foliage takes a long time to yellow and wither, and there's nothing you can do to speed up the process. You have to wait at least two months before you can cut the grass where the daffodils are planted.
And remember the three keys to success with daffodils: lots of sun, good drainage and allowing the foliage to die back naturally after bloom.
Yes. The leaves must have maximum access to sunshine to store up the energy needed to produce next year's flowers and foliage. Folding the leaves reduces the surface area exposed to light. To get a perennial display from daffodils, you have to allow the foliage to wither unmolested.
Spring-flowering bulbs already have next year's flowers inside them when they are delivered to your door. So you are pretty much guaranteed a good display of blooms the first year. If you want your bulbs to flower well in future years, you need to plant them where they will receive ample sunshine until their leaves wither in late spring. Many early-flowering bulbs, such as Crocus, Glory of the Snow, Blue Squill, Winter Wolf's Bane, Snowdrops, manage to satisfy their light requirements before deciduous trees (those that lose their leaves in fall) leaf out in spring. The higher the lowest branches are above the ground the better. Almost nothing will grow beneath a low-branched conifer (a pine, spruce, etc.), but if the limbs start well up the trunk, these early bloomers can succeed. For later bloom in shade, the best choice is Spanish bluebells.
And what about tulips and daffodils? Most tulips need full sun (six hours or more per day) to bloom well in future years. If you have a lot of shade, you should consider pulling the bulbs up after bloom and replanting fresh bulbs in fall. Daffodils are a different story. They can perform quite well for many years so long as they get at least half a day of direct sun, even after the trees leaf out.
There are many bulbs, including daffodils, that deer avoid. See our list of deer-resistant bulbs.
Almost all spring-flowering bulbs require well-drained soil, especially during their summer dormancy. If the soil stays wet, they rot. There are only a handful of exceptions. Among the bulbs we offer, spring snowflake, camassia, and snake's head would be the best choice for a damp spot.
To the contrary. If you have dry soil, chances are good that you will succeed with bulbs. Most bulbs need ample moisture in fall, when they are making new roots, and in spring, when they bloom and store up energy they'll need to produce the following year's flowers and foliage. In the summer, when they are dormant, they prefer to be dry. If your soil stays dry in fall or dries out early in spring, you may need to irrigate your bulbs. Otherwise, plant and enjoy the show!
It's not hard at all; the only tricky part is watering them. Begin by choosing a bowl or some other container that holds water (we recommend you use a container made of a transparent material until you gain experience growing paperwhites this way). Put a 2- or 3-inch layer of stones or pebbles (marble chips work well) in the bottom. Set the paperwhite bulbs on top (pack them in--it's OK if the bulbs touch). Then cover the bulbs up to their shoulders with additional stones. Now add water--just enough to reach the base of the bulbs. If the bottoms of the bulbs sit in water for an extended period, they may rot. Set the container in a cool (50-60 degrees F), dark place until the bulbs begin to sprout, usually in two or three weeks. Check the level of the water occasionally and add more as needed. The bulbs will soon produce lots of white stringy roots. When the bulbs begin to sprout, set the container in a sunny window. Once the bulbs get going, it's important to keep topping off the reservoir below the bulbs: When the bulbs are growing actively, they drink a surprising amount of water.
Paperwhites are much less hardy than other daffodils--they can't survive where winter temperatures drop below 10 degrees F. For most people, that means paperwhites should be discarded after they bloom. If you live in zones 8-9 in the South or zones 8-10 on the West Coast (Click here for Zone Map )you can plant paperwhite in the ground in the fall as you would other spring-flowering bulbs. You can also plant them in pots for indoor bloom and transplant them into the garden after the danger of frost has passed in spring. Note: Paperwhites that are forced to bloom indoors may skip a year or two before they begin to bloom again outdoors.
After your amaryllis blooms, remove the flower stalk (or stalks)--NOT the leaves--and continue watering it as before. Begin fertilizing monthly with a balanced, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer (mixed as directed). When all danger of frost has passed in spring, move the pot outdoors to a shady location and increase the exposure to sunshine day by day over the course of a week or so, until the plant gets full sun (six hours or more of direct sunlight per day). You can either leave the bulb in its pot or transplant it into the garden. (If you keep the bulb in its pot, you may need to move it into a larger pot if you find that the potting mix dries out rapidly.) Continue to water and fertilize through summer. After the first frost or in mid-October (whichever comes first), dig the bulb from the garden or knock it out of its pot, and cut the leaves off just above the top of the bulb. Then place the bulb in a cool, dry place such as a basement for 8-10 weeks. About two months before flowering is desired, repot the bulb and begin watering--sparingly until growth is clearly under way.

My comments yesterday about the new Number 10 site provoked some interesting responses.
A few agreed with my general theme – that it really wasn't up to snuff – while some thought I was too harsh, and should be giving Number 10 far greater credit for even engaging with new web technologies in this way, because few governments – if any – do.
On Perfect Path, social media guru Lloyd Davis points out that a major part of the work on the new site has been to install "better plumbing" – WordPress. Simon Dickson, who's behind the site, agrees in comments this was an early milestone.
All of which is fine – WordPress is a very fine CMS, and now much more than just a blogging platform. The geek in me says it's reasonably cool Number 10 is using it. But platforms are, of course, immaterial to users – they only see the output – and it still leaves the question of the site's purpose.
Part of the problem is that those of us working in the digital world view social media as a Very Good Thing. If you were around for web 1.0 you know it has brought the kind of interlinking of people and ideas we were dreaming of back in the day.
We see the values of Web 2.0 – of information sharing, collaboration and creativity – a unambiguously good and important, so it is hard to be critical of any site that claims to support those values, especially when it emerges from the highest echelons of government, even if the only evidence of that support is using the same tools as we do.
The drawback of this approach, though, is that not everything is a social media problem. Not everything needs to be bashed by the bloggy hammer. Being better at blogs than other governments is a doubly pointless measure of success; we can't, after all, choose to be ruled by, say, Sweden, if it has a more enlightened approach to comment moderation.
So we need to ask if putting photographs on Flickr, videos on YouTube, and adopting a blog format for press releases really achieves anything, whether or not the comments are switched on.
What is this site's purpose? Lest I be accused of being entirely negative (it's been said) let's look a something this site could be doing.
The government is not shy of complaining that its message is distorted by portions of the media. So one thing this site could do is allow access to briefings on what decision has been taken, or which position adopted, and why. That's beyond a press release, or a press conference transcript, or speech text.
How exactly that explanation is delivered – through text, graphics, data or video – is up for debate, and is also where the space for innovation is (see MySociety). But what you're trying to do is explain is the PM's tactics for stopping knife crime, improving public health, reforming the NHS or dealing with Russia. I'd be fascinated to see more of Brown's briefing material around these things (while accepting some, especially around foreign affairs, might be classified for good reason). After all, I've helped pay for it. I suspect many others would be too – not least Britain's small but (finally) growing band of political bloggers.
This is the obvious social media angle here, also alluded to by Lloyd in his comments. It is not about building a social site at Number10.gov.uk. It's about something much, much harder – something that runs counter to the DNA (even the interests) of all governments – being more transparent.
Maybe that's the trouble here. As Ben Hammersley said in comments on the last post, "What bothers me is the mismatch between what they have to play with, viz a distinctly non-interactive, non-webby PM, and the choices they made." Maybe this site really is just a roughly-executed Web 2.0 veneer for a very 1.0 PM, and without addressing that fundamental problem it can't do things properly.
But as things stand, it's neither starting a conversation, nor facilitating one.

VMware Fixes Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Virtualization software maker VMware issued an update last Thursday resolving a virtual machine communication interface (VMCI) vulnerability in its ESX Server, Workstation, Fusion and View products that could lead to a privilege escalation if unpatched.According to the VMware security advisory, a local attacker could potentially exploit a control code handling vulnerability in vmci.sys in order to tamper with memory allocation in the VMCI code and eventually obtain elevated privileges on Windows-based hosts and guest operating systems.The vulnerabilities affect systems running Workstation 9.0 as well as versions prior to 8.0.5; Fusion 5.x prior
