Bloom day: 11/15/09
I ’m rather amazed that I ’ve celebrate Bloom Day for weeks now . Gardeners in Central Texas took a licking this dry summer with 68 days over 100º. But in my east Austin garden , the team rally when the rains finally come , with barely a player missing .
The cosmos / chile pequin / over-embellished sweetened potato vine team bound back to joinCarol ’s May Dreams Bloom Day , a virtual tour of duty of what ’s up in gardens all over the Earth .
Last year , I separate a runt plant for the front bed , and embed a bamboo muhly at the end of that reaching . In their infant states , it took a lot of imagination to see this as a good thing . They ’ve convinced me that it was .
This spring , when I moved a ailing Valentine get up into a pot on the patio ’s cheery side , I owe it a opportunity . It was n’t its fault that I ’d taken a chance by plopping it where it start its minimal daily sexually transmitted disease of Dominicus . Valentine ’s rebound , since week one , reminds me yet again : do n’t think you may change a plant ’s psyche about what it wants .
New Dawn on the quat cove treillage , renew after I dilute it to nitty-gritty in February .
The Fairy rise , undaunted by its grinding hot curbside in front .
‘ Country Girl ’ mum in the hideout layer .
And ‘ Butterpat ’ .
This is just a sample of what ’s bloom after two tough year . I imagine it ’s why gardener do n’t ever give up .
Happy Bloom Day ! Linda
