recently a few people have commented on the plants in the office…
my space is filled with orchids, violets and other greenery…
I always give credit to our plant whisperer who keeps the green things extra green…
I also mention how much I enjoy my orchids… sometimes they bloom a second and third time… it is so exciting when that happens…
lovely to spend my day in a garden;-)..

this little flower made me think of all those I know who are hanging on by a thread for a variety of reasons… even though it has been cold and snowy it is still blooming…
I was also thinking of a friend’s comment that they couldn’t pull out the plants that were still flowering in their garden, lol…
beauty is all around us, if we just take a moment to look…

I am over-the-moon with excitement…
some time ago I realized that I hadn’t planted any morning glories and was very sad because I really love the flowers… the inner light is mesmerizing…
recently I realized that some seeds from last summer had sprouted in a large container of soil that was sitting under the deck… they hadn’t had any water or sunlight but were growing…
I moved the pot out into the sun and made sure to put water in it… and watched it every day…
a week ago I saw what looked to be buds and I’ve examined them each day to see what would happen… since then we’ve had quite a bit of rain, overcast skies, and cooler temperatures, so I’ve been worried they wouldn’t bloom…
but… this is what happened…
I spent extra time in the garden today sitting and enjoying the purple flowers…
I am in my happy place… flowers really do make me happy;-)…

for the last few weeks my desk has been a bit messed up as I had loaned out a small rolling filing cabinet…
this meant that all my plants, mainly orchids, ended up on the desktop, making it a bit crowded…
today, I got the cabinet back and our amazing plant whisperer reorganized the space… she remembered exactly how it should look, which was good because I couldn’t remembered what went where…
looks amazing now… and the space has a much calmer feeling;-)… ahhh…

took a few moments this morning to stop and take a few photos of all the buds on the mandevilla…
there are dozens of them…
wondering how many will open up at once and looking forward to seeing what happens…
nature is so amazing…

this morning, Hilda, the gardener, came over and worked away in the back while I continued gathering items for the camping trip…
before she started, we spent some time walking the area and deciding on what needed to happen where and when…
she weeded, divided and moved hostas, and trimmed the lilac…
looking good…

had some fun in the garden on Saturday… the forecast was for thunderstorms and rain during the day so I got out early to plant the purchases from the day before…
trying to stick to the purple and white theme although the dahlia might be a bit on the pink side;-)…
three pots planted, a few baskets hung, the tomato and mandevilla placed… also brought out the hibiscus…
still need to bring out the Japanese Maple, but going to wait just a bit longer so it doesn’t struggle with the move…
it is looking pretty good… now just waiting to get that back flowerbed cleaned up…
missing my beloved as I work away in the yard…

so excited to get home yesterday because I received a message from my gardener, Hilda, advising she had been by and done some planting…
it looks great and I can hardly wait to see what happens when she tackles the bed across the yard, lol…

fun in the garden…
finally got around to planting the lobelia and alyssum… the weather may have turned the corner, although it was something like 4 degrees when I got up…
decided to plant in clumps, so all lobelia in some planters and just alyssum in others…
looking forward to watching them grow and seeing how they look…
