Because I'll be leaving Sydney soon, I've been madly running around the garden, taking photos of the spring flowers as they bloom. The above pic shows the flowers from a succulent I planted years ago. This is the first year it bloomed. Probably because I remembered to water it. I had to share.
Do you have a green thumb? (I definitely don't). What are your favourite flowers?
Today I'm over at Rachna's blog, sharing my writing process for Cling to God, my debut daily devotional. Please pop on over and say hi.
Already visited her this morning!
ReplyDeleteHope you get shots of all your flowers before you leave.
I saw that you'd already visited Rachna. You are a machine!! And yes, I've been photo crazy, making sure I get shots of everything.
DeleteNope, no green thumb here. The cats would eat them anyway lol
ReplyDeleteMy cat used to sit on my flowers...
DeleteI've had to train myself to remember to water my plants now that I have a garden. It does make a difference. LOL
ReplyDeleteI know, right. Crazy concept that water actually helps the garden. I keep forgetting.
DeleteThe plants I do have are hanging on for dear life! :o
ReplyDeleteYep, that sounds familiar.
DeleteThose are so pretty. The color is so light and airy.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Holly
DeleteI have a writing thumb. Let's leave it at that. Those flowers are beautiful Lynda. Of course I'll pop in on that blog. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sheena-kay! A "writing-thumb." I love it!
DeleteI used to have a green thumb but I've grown very careless with my gardening in the last few years. the flowers I love most are lavender for the scent and hybrid tea roses for their beauty (even though they make me sneeze if I bring them in the house).
ReplyDeleteOh I love lavender too. I can actually grow it and it still flowers despite my neglect.
DeleteThe flowers are so pretty and the color is so beautiful. Will you be taking a few of your plants to your new place, Lyn?
ReplyDeleteJust the one indoor plant that's doing really well.
DeleteI usually keep a garden. But this year we had a sink hole repair and I'm 6 weeks into a broken humerus. No garden this year.
ReplyDeleteYikes, I can understand why there would be no garden this year. Hope your arm heals quickly.
DeleteHi Lynda, I like heather's because they're good year all rounders. These plants don't bald when the Winter months settle in and flower periodically throughout the year. It has to be said some are dull chaps and others aren't so. My personal favorites are the golden ones which I have planted all over the garden.
ReplyDeleteI love plants that flower throughout the year. Most of my plants only flower in the spring and not for very long.
DeleteGorgeous flowers!
ReplyDeleteDespite growing up with parents who lovingly tended flower gardens and harvested fresh vegetables for summer suppers, I have zero ability to keep plants alive. I blame this on the fact that my only interactions with said gardens (other than enjoying the vegetables) were to shovel manure or pull weeds.
My husband, on the other hand, does quite well at gardening. Sadly, he hasn't had a garden since we moved to Tucson and we decided not to waste too much water on growing vegetation in the desert. But if I could, I'd have a whole yard full of sunflowers.
Sunflowers are gorgeous.
Deleteis it easier or tougher to grow plants there, due to the climate? Peonies and tulips are my fave.
ReplyDeleteThe natives are, of course, easier to grow because they are hardier. One just has to remember to weed and water.
DeleteI love that vivid lilac color! I'm off to Rachna's now...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lexa
DeleteBeautiful pic of the flowers. Said hi on the other blog too. Purple is my fave color.
ReplyDeleteJuneta @ Writer's Gambit
Purple is my favourite colour too.
DeleteHi Lyn! My favourite flowers are those that are easy to grow and don't die on me with lavender being the exception. I've had some success, but it's hard growing anything at the beach!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to posting your post on Wednesday!
Denise :-)
Yeah, anything grown at the beach needs to be salt-resistant. And the salt-resistant ones aren't delicate and pretty. Or few are, at least.
DeleteBeautiful blooms! We are in the fall, rainy season here, so I'm just trimming. I don't think I have a green thumb, but I do have plants that like taking over any green space.
ReplyDeleteVery informative. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteEverything is dead here. There are no flowers. I'm trying to envision what my gardens look like in spring and summer. Can't! But I should add that there is no snow! Very pretty blooms, Lynda.
ReplyDeleteLol, that watering thing works wonders;) I definitely love gardening - growing things is almost on par with writing for me:)
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely! You must have a bit of a green thumb.
