Amur Honeysuckle

The flowers are tiny but they smell so good. My plant finder says it is an invasive one, and yes they are from my experience too. They grow really big and there is no maintenance. The early morning breeze spreads it sweet smell around. For Cee’s Flower of the Day!

Jasmine

Excited to share my jasmine buds today morning. With all the hot weather I thought it would have bloomed, but not yet. I have to be patient. This is a tropical plant and had to be brought in for winter. This one survived this winter. For Cee’s FOTD

Primrose

For Cee’s Flower of the day It’s March first, and it is the first day of meteorological spring. Got my first plant for the season. I didn’t know primroses are perennials. They love cold weather and like to be in the shade. Hopefully this plant should survive in my garden.

Sunflowers

It has been a challenge to grow sunflowers since birds feed on the seeds as soon as I plant them. Sometimes I think why I should put in that effort 😂! I have see some yards with these huge sunflowers and I really want to knock on their door for advice. The above sunflower definitelyContinue reading “Sunflowers”

Poinsettias
