My Two New Roses

Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)

The second rose finally opened. The middle one seems quite inspired indeed. When the first one opened it lost all its pigments. I googled about it. It is normal for this type of rose to turn white. It does so to maintain its power and luster. It is just saving energy to keep itself from wilting.

I like the rose both in its white and its golden incarnation. All in all, this gardening project has been quite entertaining. I normally do a blog a day. Still, I took these photos recently. I decided I did not want to wait till tomorrow to show you the new photos. I hope you find my gardening things enjoyable.

I am going to be adding eventually gardening tools and stuff for my online store. I have found the joy of gardening. It is useful for people who are obsessive and can follow an exact routine.

South Florida has a very dry, hot climate and soil with a lot of drainage. Intense irrigation is needed to keep the flowers alive. One has to water the plants little and often to save water. I think I am going to get myself a watering pan real soon. I think this is just about it as far as ramblings are concerned.
