Odds and Ends - Miscellaneous items, fragments and remnants, as in I've finished putting everything away, except for a few odds and ends. This expression may have originated as odd ends in the mid-1500s, meaning "short leftovers of some material" (such as lumber or cloth). It had acquired its present form and meaning by the mid-1700s. - The American Heritage® Dictionary of Idioms by Christine Ammer. Copyright © 1997 by The Christine Ammer 1992 Trust.

Lovely graceful dogwood! I hope the tree that came from is okay.And golden crocuses! You are so ahead of us. Do you have the blue and white striped ones too?
We only have purple ones. We used to have white, but they have died out. I plan to get some more colors this fall.

We had a number of branches broken from our dogwood during the ice storm. I chose one and brought it inside. Voila! Dogwood blossoms indoors ahead of their time.
