Hello Kathy, thank you so much for this post - I haven't been able to stay on top of reading my favorite blogs and this morning I am indulging. You are so incredibly talented and I never cease to be inspired by the way you have a perfect balance of right-brain and left-brain creativity/logic. I really love the new format and what I appreciate MOST is your comment about Thesis's "readability" because I, too, write longer-than-average posts. The leading (white space between lines) is easy on the eyes. I'm finished with my spring lecture travel (7 trips in 12 weeks-UGH) and can't wait to resume my regular routines in the garden and with garden blogging friends. I'll visit more often! Congratulations and Happy Easter, cheers, Debra debra’s last blog post..You say Toe-MAY-toe; I say Toe-MAH-Toe

Bump up the font a click or two, particularly on the homepage. It's not like that will devour a forest of trees. Craig @ Ellis Hollow’s last blog post..More little bulbs, rfirst primrose

I like your redesign, although I did like the old header pictures as it rotated through the seasons. The new geographical organization of the Garden Blog Directory is very nice. I will be back to spend some time exploring. Les’s last blog post..The Hofheimer Camellia Garden

Yes, Karen, they are Narcissus poeticus. They've been a part of my online identity (as well as on my business card, pictured above) from the beginning. You can see them on an old version of my blog, thanks to the Wayback Machine. I'm gratified you appreciate the work that went into it. I've been neglecting family and friends to get it done, and feeling a bit guilty about it.
