A Surprise

Van Sion Daffs

I picked these Van Sion daffodils myself,

and son Chris and Michelle brought these beautiful tulips to put on the Easter dining table,

but the surprise came when I went to water the houseplants and saw that the little geranium plant I salvaged last fall had suddenly sent up a lovely blossom that was all but lost in the dead foliage of the jasmine.  A surprise is always welcome when it is so pretty and pink. Can you see it?  There is a full geranium blossom hidden in there.

    I think maybe the jasmine protected it somehow. Nice surprise. I hope you honor the geranium with special treatment over next winter, he deserves it!
