Here is my gardening story for today. I woke up this morning, grabbed myself a cup of coffee and headed outside. That is my usual routine, but this morning, I started a little different. This morning, I walked outside and directly to one of my Plumeria plants, as if it were beckoning me to come to her. I immediately noticed, what I thought was a newly forming bud. This bud looked a little different than the previous buds in the past. I used my finger to push it off the stem in case it was fall debris, but to my surprise it wasn't. It was not a newly forming bud or fall debris, but rather this horrifying Orange spider, that was all tucked up in a ball. The moment I gingerly touched it, it uncurled itself, and that was when I knew it was a spider. I cannot stand spiders, and I touched the damn thing, OMG. I know, they kill garden pests, blah blah blah. They freak me the F#$K out. I know you are feeling this Cat. Normally I would post a photo capturing the moment, but this time I will just move on.
I would like to start with Tiffany's rose. I did not think it was going to bloom this year, but to my surprise, she did. I did not even see the bee when I snapped this photo.
Recap on the Coleus volunteer.
It popped up in the pathway.
I slapped her in a container.
She is loving life.
Clearly this Croton thrives on neglect, as does the Night Blooming Cereus cutting, growing in the same container. I was training the vines of the Sweet Autumn Clematis and broke off a piece of the Cereus. I just dipped it in a little root hormone and shoved it in the dirt. She seems to be growing fine.
The first sign of a bloom on the Hawaiian Ginger. Note to self, I should have painted the wire cage.
Another White Rose of Sharon deciding to swirl. I am loving this.
Hardy Begonia's
Does this look remotely comfortable?
