Observations, pictures, and sketches highlight the transition of moving to the nations's Capitol after 30 years of living in the Midwest. A clash in cultures? Maybe not!

Miniature Rose Plant Second Bloom?
It’s been one month since we bought the miniature rose plant from Giant. We searched several places before we finally found one. We used to get cut flowers every couple of weeks for the wall vase. But I’ve put bamboo and cut greens that root in the vases. Our plant console table is also filled with greenery, and we wanted to liven it up a bit with some color. So the little dusty rose color plant fit the bill. Unfortunately they don’t last very long. But things may be different this time. The many blossoms on the original bunch are all but gone now with just a few hanging on. We have been reading up on the care for these roses. We put it on the west exposed window sill during the day and make sure it gets enough water. The yellow leaves and spent flowers get cut. It didn’t look like it was going to survive when all of a sudden it started getting greener. There are now two new buds developing and the plant just looks healthy. We read somewhere that these plants aren’t in it for the long haul but maybe we will have some luck this time. My husband prefers one plant over many and has been watching it like a Hawk. Let’s hope this rose plant continues to thrive. It’s worth all the attention.
