Hey! Who let the party crashers in?

 

[Madam Bijoux]

This fine, upstanding Soldier of Rome won a blue ribbon and a special rosette. His name in Latin is Amorphophallus Konjac.

 

[Madam Bijoux]

Bellissima!

The party crasher enjoys the show.

 

[Madam Bijoux]

When you let one crasher in others are bound to follow.

 

[Madam Bijoux]

The orchids ignore the crasher.

I''m still hoping to see your collection, Madame.

 

[Madam Bijoux]

Hi, Bebe! I didn''t get any strange looks. People at the show were taking all sorts of pictures and trying to get into the displays.

 

[Madam Bijoux]

Hi, Harriet! My next trip to NYC will be on April 15 to see a matinee of West Side Story.

I''ll still be out of town. Bummer. What are your NY plans for May and June?

 

[Madam Bijoux]

I would like to come up on some Wednesdays in May and June. I haven't picked any definite dates yet - any Wednesday will be good.

 

[Harriet]

Purrfect.

Bellissima!

Wow, the color on these is just stunning! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the pics. Perhaps the answer to this question is obvious to most of you so sorry to be ignorant about such matters - is that a purple daffodil in the pic titled "belissima"? It''s really beautiful
