Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Apparently the take-out cashier at the place I bought dinner really doesn't like Caesar salad dressing. When I called in my order she asked me if I wanted the dressing (who would order it without?) and despite my answering "yes" I discovered there was no dressing when I got home.

Yeah, mine are probably under 1/2" inch diameter, tops. And they have a little pistil vessel. Thing. Like daffodils, but not a frill, more egg shaped. Waxy petals like iris and daffodils and their ilk.

thanks so much, everyone. And, holy crap, 'Suela, that's truly horrific and awful.

Another horrific thought is my employee evaluation is next month.

Ok, xpost. I think they look most like Lebanon squill/snowdrift. Awesome! Thanks!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Well, everyone who hasn't seen it already should run out and snap up Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf right, right now (unless you're depressed and feeling shaky about a relationship already, in which case GOOD GOD DON'T GO NEAR IT). She's just devastating, all raw scraped nerves and misery, and it's a huge performance that should be over-the-top but instead is completely gutting.

yeah, I think Calli has it right with the Puschkinia.

This heavy wet snow smooshed all my Galanthus and the bunnies ate my Kaufman tulips, grrr.

Because books.

Totally rookie gardening question: if I plant daffodils or tulips, they'll come up again next year?

Oh yes. I love her in Giant, too. Which is a fantastic epic full of excellent performances, and James Dean's last role.

Daffodils, yes. Tulips, maybe - they are much fussier. Daffodils and crocus are the most dependable, IME.

Yes. Sometimes in exciting new places if the squirrels relocate them for you.

I don't want to mess with fussy the first time out. Daffodils it is!
