Spring Flowers

I´ve been missing the flowers this spring..I didnt see so much flowers in bloom in the park where i do my daily walk.Its been raining so much since the beginning of spring,i guess thst was the cause of the delay.

Anyway in my small terrace garden,i already have a few plants with flowers.I took these photos to show you.




The Poinsettia,known to be the christmas flower as they are always in bloom during christmas season. But mine flowered late,it started its flower in january and till now,i still have them.

The pink colored flowers is a plant that i have from long time ago. I just keep on transplanting them as they are easy to grow and usually flowers at the beginning of spring.We also have this plant in Philippines but i dont know the name. Does anybody knows the name of this plant?



The two flowers above seem to produce flowers all year round.The flowers showed here are still from winter season. They give less flower during winter and produce more i think in summer.




I could´nt resist buying more pots of flower when i went out shopping.

I only know that i´ve chosen two Gerberas in white and yellow color. And the other is someting i never had before called Calandiva. I had another one similar to it but the flowers are even smaller,pity i can no longer find the photo i took when the flower was still in bloom.

Season for all ocassions

These lovely spring flowers were taken in June. They are in bloom, a treat for all nature lovers to watch such beauty! Hubby & I were doing our early morning walk at the park nearby our apartment. I could´nt get hold of myself & keep on wishing i should have brought the camera to take photos. being a gentlemen hubby is, he offered to go back to the house to bring the camera for me to continue. After doing my 3rd round at the park ,there i saw hubby taking photos and so I let him do the shooting although I wanted to do it myself but I let him do it because its nice to watch him enjoying and relax....


Later, when he was satisfied with his shots, i asked for the camera and took also some .

Of all seasons,springtime is my favorite...its the time where nature is at its best.Waking up in the morning to you hear the birds singing sign that they are happy ( whooppy, its mating season!!) We live at the 9th flr of our building but i sometimes get surprised to see small birds at our window, see them flying with grass or twigs in their bicks to prepare their nest, the trees starts to turn green again, morning mist on leaves,buds of flowers start appearing and most of all i enjoy watching & caring for my plants for them to start growing flowers( dont have much as i only have a small place for them in my veranda). .I like to watch a plant grow & very seldom that i kill or throw a plant just because its old.

Now that summer has come, these plants were replaced with summer plants, my bougainvilla , started droping its flowers & so with my tea rose droping also its petals.I only have few now still with flowers but dont know their names. As i dont have summer plants my mini garden is turning green again.

This is my bougainvilla in full force,it gave me flowers in winter which was surprising! After feeding it with fertilizer in April, gave flower again in May. Now its July, the flowers started dropping so i hope to see it again next year.

And this is a colage of "Morning Glory" taken at a nearby farm between tall buildings around including ours..I wanted to take a picture of one big purple bougainvilla plant which must be already century old because of its size but the blue & violet colors of these flowers caught my attention so here they are ...the other picture below shows the bougainvilla i was talking about, its a lovely purple color but as the sun was already above us when this photo was taken,it lightened the color & did´nt do much justice to it.

Summer time is here again! It came late this year, its two days now that we are experiencing the heat 30cº above, for sure,people who started their early summer holidays had a disapointing weather encounter, rain, chilly winds at night and for the beach lovers , sands being blown at their faces, sticking to their bodies, no sunshine to get their precious bronze look. As for myself & hubby, we managed to swim only once last month in a chilly water, did´nt stay long because the weather started changing, from a clear sky to fog like this one at the photo below..So, off we go when this happened. Since then 3 weeks has passed, we never went back again to the beach but now that summer seems to stay for good, beach here we come, see you soon!!!
