Beautiful Flowers: Roses and Other Cuties
Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)
Today, I wanted to write a little short blog about flowers. It doesn’t matter where I go.
If I see a flower, I am compelled to photograph it. I didn’t see too many flowers variety when I was down in Mexico.
There were a few interesting ones here and there.
The entrance to Xcaret also had an interesting looking flower bowl. All in all, I didn’t photograph that many flowers.
I suppose that the summer heat did a number on the flowers.
The place was practically boiling in some places, like the Mayan Pyramids of Chichen Itza.
When I returned home, I was delighted to see that my roses had bloomed while I was away.
It seems like the house missed my absence. It has been raining a lot as of lately in Florida.
This saves me the trouble of watering the plants. When we travel, we always take care to turn off the water.
We do this to avoid any flooding. If a pipe breaks while we are away, the house will get completely ruined.
So, we turn off the water as a bit of a precaution. Well, I am not going to bore you with that nonsense.
We are here to look at flowers. I added a bit of fertilizer to my flowers before heading out.
It is always important to overfeed your plants during the raining season. This assures that they grow big and strong.
I do not have much of a variety as of lately. I have been focusing on growing Papayas from seeds.
Only the male trees have bothered to produce flowers. I am still waiting on the female trees to produce flowers that will eventually become papayas.
In any case, I hope that you find my flower and gardening rants amusing.
If I see any interesting flowers, I will make certain to show them to you.
On the meantime, I hope that you have a nice day.
My name is Teresita Blanco, the Artsy Sister. Bye, bye and God bless.
