#Dancers and #musicians rarely #crosspaths at #Juilliard, so a #dragqueen and a #Tshirt brought #ChristopherReynolds and #JohnHewitt together.

Winter's here and #Rivers #Freeze
As I #Walk, I see the #Trees,

Wherein the #Pretty #Squirrels #Sleep,
All standing in the snow so deep,

& Every #Twig, however #Small,
Is #Blossomed #White and #Beautiful.

Then #Welcome, #Winter, with thy #Power
To make this tree a big white #Flower ;

To make this #Tree a #Lovely sight,
With #Fifty #Brown arms draped in white,

While #Thousands of small #Fingers show
In #Soft white #Gloves of purest #Snow.

#December 11, 1911
#OTD Victor #Lemoine, #French #Flower #Breeder, died.

The Lemoine #Nursery in #Nancy, #France survived 3 #Generations.

We owe a #Debt of #Gratitude to Victor for enhancing so many #Flowers in our #Gardens:

#Lilac, #MockOrange, #Phlox, #Peony, #Gladiola,
#TuberousBegonia, & #Deutzia.

His double-#Blossomed #Geranium was Gloire de Nancy. He #Bred a #Peony that could take a #Winter #Freeze & many #Gorgeous Peony #Creations.

December 4, 1959
#OTD The St. Cloud Times (St. Cloud, MN) shared a photo titled: Alma Hinz has #Unusual #Plant.

The caption read:

"An #Azalea plant bearing some 54 #Blossoms is the proud possession of Alma Hinz.

The plant is two years old, and this is the second year that it has #Blossomed profusely.

According to some #Greenhouse #Men, the plant is worth about $15."
