My Two New Roses
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...
My Inspiring Yellow Rose
Yellow Roses represent Joy and Friendship. I did not know this till five minutes ago when I googled it. I chose this rose bush because it looked inspired indeed. It has been quite a pig. I have been looking after it nonstop for the last couple of weeks. They say that when replanted, it needs extra water. It so happens to be one of those occasional really hot winters. The weather has been quite unstable in Florida. Some days, it is hot, others windy and cold. The plants in my garden are hardy indeed. The party was a little bit...
Red Mar Pacifico
Today we are having a little get together in the artsy sister store. We are celebrating the arrival of the Cuban Menina. The painting is about the Miracle of chicken turning into fish.

For the time being, enjoy this beautiful flower of mine. Today, the new rosebush recently gave bird to a beautiful yellow rose. This is also business for tomorrow. I hope you find this...
My Hibiscus Flower is Turning White
Most gardener speculate about the pros and cons of milk. All in all, I applied it to the flower to protect it from powdery milkweed. It is rather common during the winter. Unlike all the other problems, this one is usually dire and hard to manage without a lot of pruning. Sure, I could use a more extreme chemical means. Still, I think that might be overkill. The long and short of it is that I watered individual branches with evaporated milk mixed with water. Recently, all the new flowers it has produced have looked somewhat orange and some even...
The Flowers I planted in my Garden
Yesterday, I went to home depot to buy two flowers. I ended up buying five and a couple of others . I only took a photo of the flowers I bought. I think I am going to feature the silly flowering plants I got. I forgot the name of the first two flowers. They seemed real pretty. I read they were full sun flowers. I planted them in two important spots. They get a lot of sun and they also are protected from the winds. The plant that took the longest to plant was the rose bush. Opening the hole...
