My windowsill is looking fantastic with all the seeds I planted sprouting. The one I am most excited about is Park's Candy Lily, whose flowers I have included on the right (the picture is from their catalog! mine have only sprouted, they have not bloomed yet). It is an extremely rare plant, bred by Park Seed Company and introduced to the market only a few years ago. I grew some in California, and now I am sure these are the first ones to hit Armenia. In addition to the Candy Lily I have got Oregano and Chives sprouting (which they don't have here) and some Scarlet Runner Beans. I can't wait to taste all of those.

This week we went to Kino Nairi, the newly re-opened movie theatre to watch American Pie 2 in English. It looked quite nice and they have turned it into a hangout which was PACKED!
