- Oh man, I wish I could see you there! I want to get to my sis' too in Alabama, never been there, but she tells me of all the things I could do with an essentially 4 season growing season. I's a jealous girl :) living up here in the midwest.
BTW, I've got a slow connection, but I'm a flower fanatic, so I just had to wait for the flicker shows. Please visit your new group, Flowers, Flowers, and more Flowers...and help me try to implement an amazon slide show to our lens.
Dallas Blooms is the largest outdoor floral festival in the Southwest.
