No thanks. I'll probably try some at the supermarket some time, 
but if you're gonna send me something, I'd sooner make it worth 
our while like wooden shoes or something . (just kidding)
Speaking of which, Holland is famous for tulips, do they also
grow hyacinth the same way? Their fragrance is the best (of the
bulbs). The prettiest flower was the daffodil, but none of those
bulbs do well in this climate. I was on Martha's Vineyard, an island
off Massachusetts one spring. They have daffodils naturalized 
all over the place. It was beautiful.
Does your climate like the bulb flowers too? They must be 
starting to come up about now. I don't look forward to spring 
in Florida the way I did in Boston. Up there, it was a 
harbinger of summer which was good. Here, the summer is the 
season I try to spend indoors. We have flowers growing (and
smelling) all year, so spring isn't so special. The orange 
blossoms are opening now. They are one of the BEST fragrances.
 MV> Am curious to know if you could appreciate the taste of it.
I think I might. Our family always used to be big tea drinkers.
We were never much for iced tea or "special" teas tho. I'm 
looking for something that I can drink that doesn't need the 
cream and sugar. Coca Cola sells Nestea iced tea, and it is 
good, but has a bit too much sugar for me. Brewed tea may do 
what I want. I guess I better go buy some so we can get this 
out of the way...... 
See ya
