These were the seeds I bought (I was very ambitous).
Cosmos.
Marigold.
Zinnia.
These are Zinnia seedlings. Only four germinated. Bah!
These were two Zinnia plants from an earlier attempt. Yes, only two. Tsk! LOL!
Can you see the flower bud?
Hopefully the flower bud blooms. Because there is a risk that it may die and drop off. Once it flowers, it will produce seeds and I will get the opportunity to plant more.
Oh! It was progressing very nicely.
The petals are coming up.
This is very encouraging.
I was very happy.
I love the color.
The flower lasted for about a week.
Then another Zinnia bloomed.
This one was yellow.
I like this color.
But the size is small.
I hope to plant some more.
I hope to do more gardening if I can take time off work.
Good morning ๐๐ great that your blooms and flowers are making you happy. Perhaps these quotes will blend in nicely with your garden with trees, ๐ด leaves ๐ and flowers ๐ป๐น
ReplyDeleteQuotes 1. Don't compare yourself with others. The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern. Yet, they both make the forest beautiful. 2. Learn character from trees, values from roots and change from leaves. 3. Believe in yourself and you're halfway there. Just like flowers believe in themselves and stand tall to fight all the odds of their lives.
ReplyDeleteThe red zinnia is very outstanding and striking while the yellow one is cheerful and pleasant looking. You are looking to more time to do gardening, I am looking for time off to do journaling hee hee.
ReplyDeleteLove your quote too. I am splitting my comments into 4 (including this 5) as I am using my mobile phone to comment, just want to make sure they are published before I accidentally click on any button and the comments gone missing hee hee
ReplyDeleteHi dear friend, I really like the quote! I think you did very well! I know nothing about flowers or plants, let alone planting them! Your flower photos are gorgeous! :)
