"geranium"
Today had been one of those uncomfortable autumn days.....so so so gloomy!
The wind was blowing harshly......so gusty that it would make you
shiver to death.
I went out and walked Lily in the afternoon, it was brave of me to
go outside towards the fields just to see that chubby Lily
makes her afternoon walk and move, move, move.
Well, she has to lose weight... and so am I.
It is this cold weather that made me decide to still enjoy these
wonderful gift of nature, so I thought of bringing them inside
wonderful gift of nature, so I thought of bringing them inside
the house although available space isn´t that much.
I usually leave them outdoor in winter, buy newbies in Spring and
let them grow til flowers are there to enjoy in Summer. But these ones are
exceptionally gorgeous and I love them particularly
the pink blooms.
And so..... I took the six potted geranium ( three pinks and three reds)
that are still blooming tremendously inside the house!
They are late bloomers and I dearly enjoy their flowers now ....
particularly when the nights are long and the days shorter.

In summer, I cut the geraniums and add these to the wildflowers
I`ve gathered when walking Lily, they add attractive color contrast
to the bouquet I arrange each time.
"chrysanthemum morifolium"
When I got this flower pot about two months ago, it had many small
buds that were about to bloom. A couple of weeks later, the buds
nicely opened and showed its radiant and wonderful colors.
At first, they were in yellow with pinkish stripes and a bit of
apple green in the middle.
I keep the soil moist by giving a daily dose of mineral water...
As weeks passed-by, the flower-color turned into beautiful white!
The mineral water played a very important role in keeping these
flowers looking so crisp, just like in the very beginning!
Happy Thursday !
