Flower killer...



Happy Labor Day eveyone!!! Hope ur enjoying the last day of summer. Well, been distracted in writing this went chatting and lost it. So, now back. I hate to admit am officially called the "flower killer". The first flower from DS, demised coz not watering and now this beautiful bonsai azalia died of over water before my trip to Texas, coz just got it thursday and i left friday. My sis and neice watered it too during the weekend. Came back from Texas and it was dead. It made me see the correlation of my relationship with men: over attention or less. To keep the relationship alive and thriving have to take care of it wholeheartedly. Not just when and if u have the time.

Have a great Labor day!!!

don't worry tess you are not alone
my green fingers only work in the garden
hard that i try i can't keep one single house plant
either they lost all their leaves or drowned
i even read articles how to care for them
i follow all the rules to a "t" and still they die
i long give up the idea of having one

Sis,

My dad was so happy too. He wanted to repot it and see if it grows. Unfortunately didn't happen. Atleast, have the pics to look back on how beautiful. Have a great week ahead.

Bebs,

I'm definitely gonna stay away from flowers. Next project would be a tree, if i can only find space. Going to hunt for a huge pot somewhere might work. Enjoy the week ahead...

How many gentle flowers grow
In an English country garden?
I'll tell you now of some I know
And those I'll miss I hope you'll pardon
Daffodils, heart's ease and flox
Meadowsweet and lilly stalks
Gentain, lupine and tall hollihocks
Roses, foxgloves, snowdrops, forget-me-nots
In an English country garden.

a song my mother sang frequently,i remember it well.

she gave me a love of flowers,that still remains.Friends

find this love hard to understand(I get wimp,sop,anorak and many

other things thrown at me lol),and i find it difficult to

explain,but...........

each and every time i pick a perfumed rose from my garden,my

thoughts are with my beloved mom.

Your love life isn't your fault 'te. It's what you're handed. It made you stronger as far as I can see.

Sayang yong bonsai, but you're welcome to more indoor plants and orchid and outdoor plants and flowers plus crops of potatoes, strawberries, herbs etc from my house that mom grew. I've a cactus that grows flowers during the winter season in my bedroom for several years and a small pot of small roses. The cactus isn't hard to take care of.



within each one of us, and let it begin with me (and each one of us)..one breath at a time.

Janey,

Googled it:
"The common holiday cacti (Thanksgiving Cactus, Christmas Cactus, Easter Cactus) comprise several closely related species in the genus Schlumbergera or possibly Hatiora gaertneri, often called Zygocactus in older works. Commonly cultivated, numerous cultivars have been produced ranging from red, pink, and peach to white and can appear in massive numbers on a single plant. They are originally forest cacti, growing as epiphytes at elevations between 1000 and 1700 meters (3300 to 5600 feet) above sea level in the Organ Mountains north of Rio de Janeiro in southeast Brazil, South America. They are called Flor de Maio (May Flower) in Brazil."
