Bougainvillea


Indoor Daffodil Garden

As the temperature rises here in Qatar.. garden centers are desperate to sell those forced ready to bloom bulbs for indoors. There are so many varieties to choose from. I decided to pick two narcissus: Ice Folies & Monal. They are just beautiful. I bought a total of six potted bulbs... each has around 4-5 bulbs. This is lasting over a week and hopefully longer!

Having flowers blooming inside the house in my favorite corner is just magical!

Gladious

First of my gladious bulbs to sprout! This is so exciting having them around the garden!! They also lasts a week or so in the vase!!


My Balcony

I've been working for 2 weeks to setup this balcony. It's really pleasing to go there every morning water the plants and watch their progress.

At night I have special lights that I hang around the gazebo. I will post the night pictures soon.

In The Market: BLOM Amaryllis

I bought a potted amaryllis from a garden center this morning. I was reading the instructions of how to take care of the bulb and I found the cultivar website. They have many decorative potted Amaryllis in all colors and styles. I thought I should share these photos from their website. There is more photos overthere...

So here's their link if you are interested!!
