Dahlia

First of my 7 Dahlia tubers have sprouted. Waiting for the rest!!

Orange Orchids

At the garden center. I'm never tempted now to try growing orchids. Some say it's easy (just leave the orchid alone). I tried many times at different locations, different temperatures, different types... doesn't seem to rebloom again. I do enjoy orchids in their pots more than the cut flowers and it's enough for me to see new colors and varieties at the garden centers!

Summer/Winter bulbs

If you came from the north side of this world.. you wouldn't expect to see summer bulbs in sale right now. Well, here in a warm/humid/dry climate you expect to see these this time of the year because summer bulbs i call them (winter bulbs) and our winter is more spring like weather is the perfect time to plant these and enjoy them till April.

Iast year i was successful to grow Dhalia with blooms, but also i failed to have two other varieties to bloom. So i hope this year i will have blooms.
