I can't find info, no real or GW name, want to know what to send you? thank you. GB

Thank you, everybody! Iris_gal, RR and WS2000 are very different:-). WS2000 is an all-round great rose, great bush shape, clean foliage to the ground, very prolific, fast rebloom. The only things to complain about is fragrance which is not very strong, short stems and short vase life. RR is a typical HT bush - a collection of vigorous thick straight canes growing in all directions (like Mr. Lincoln), very sparsely foliated. Quite ugly, in fact. The foliage is never clean for me. It doesn't want to bloom in spring, it likes the heat. However, the blooms it sets in the heat fry very fast, often before the buds open. The plus side is the blooms are very strongly fragrant, have nice cutting stems and last forever (well, upwards of a week) in a vase. It is a perfect cutting rose which in my opinion should be grown somewhere out of the way and all blooms should be cut for the house. Sorry to be so long:-) Christina, thank you for your nice comments. The little flowers are a geranium which also has a bonus of grey leaves which go nicely with purple. It is a tiny plant and I don't know if it will live through the winter:-(. I am afraid I am acquiring a mini collection of geraniums too, thank goodness my husband doesn't know... Masha

My favorite is the book as well. The dishes you mention in it sound so yummy. Besides, I am a little addicted to good cookbooks. I like the kind where the recipes are good AND there is a little chit chat about the recipes that inspires you to make them. Must be why I love the cooking forum. That is a great surprise that Tikanas sent and received a Tapas box. Well it is a great theme thoughtfully executed both times. -Robin

WHEW!!!!!!! I guess if I was going to screw up someones addy - it was best that it was yours! I am so glad your town is small and the cookies found you! I was really worried and feeling so bad about messing up like that. I'm glad Ashley put the stamp of approval on them - now I know that is a winning recipe. Enjoy! Alexa
