Home and Garden

It seems that the weather today is not so friendly. I heard over the radio that the streets and highways in Bavaria, Germany were very icy and slippery this morning, thus caused some car accidents to some drivers. Be careful especially to my friends around in Bavaria.

I found again some flowers in my External Hard Drive. I know I have lot of them especially the ones taken from our garden. I just have a bit difficulty in trying to find it in my EHD because until now I still don’t have the time to arrange my flower files. I know one day I can find time to fix and arrange my picture files.

Here are some flowers from our garden. I hope to see them again in summer. I need to plant the others again because they won’t come back after winter time like the red Geranium here.

I guess this flower belongs to Asteraceae or Compositae family…it has two visitors at the same time.

How’s your Saturday peeps! I hope you had a fantastic one. I am thankful after feeling better from a bit headache. I guess this was caused by a visitor who always comes monthly to me. Thanks goodness that I am back to normal now.

Anyway to continue with my post.. I was browsing the picture files from my external drive and found some flowers which I took last summer 2009. I only remember the name of the first flower. This is Dahlia.

These are lovely flowers. Gerbera was named in honour of the German botanist and naturalist Traugott Gerber. It is commonly known as the African Daisy. I bought these flowers and planted in our garden but it won’t last during winter time. After that I never buy it anymore. Sometimes when I visit the garden center, I just take images of it. The ones you see below were taken during one of my visits in the garden center. I am glad that the gardener let me took some photos.

I wish every one a happy weekend..Be safe always!

Gerbera species bear a large capitulum with striking, two-lipped ray florets in yellow, orange, white, pink or red colours.

Gerbera is very popular and widely used as a decorative garden plant or as cut flowers.

2012 is finally here! For some this might be a great year, for some a beginning of new life, for others a struggle for something..I just hope that this year will be a good one for us. I am only wishing for good health for me and family, love, peace of mind and happiness in simply things. So far 2011 was a great year and I am very thankful for it. I am also hoping and praying that some dreams and wishes will come into reality this year.

So now, let me share you and image of the tulips from our garden. This was taken last spring 2011. I am hoping to see them again very soon. Once again, a happy and blessed new year 2012 to everyone!

2011 is a great year for me. There are just a lot of things to be thankful of..my family, friends, relatives and all those people who are around me…all the blessings and great things I received for this year. I keep on hoping and praying that 2012 will be another wonderful year. I wish for good health, more blessings, love, peace, happiness and more travels.

It seems that the author of this site is quite busy for a long time. Yes, she is. She had a vacation in Spain last time, the holiday season, some tasks online and offline and so many things that she is taking care of. She has finally the chance to update this blog.

Here are some dahlias from our garden last summer. I love these flowers and can’t wait to see them again next year.

I also hope that everyone had a wonderful and memorable Christmas. I am wishing you all in advance a happy New Year!

Dahlias grow naturally in climates which do not experience frost, consequently they are not adapted to withstand sub-zero temperatures. However their tuberous nature enables them to survive periods of dormancy, and this characteristic means that gardeners in temperate climates with frosts can grow dahlias successfully, provided the tubers are lifted from the ground and stored in cool yet frost-free conditions during the winter.

I saw these pictures some months ago in one of my FB friends photos. It was an amazing flower. The comments of some of my friends in Facebook says, that this might be an alien flower. lol! If I am not mistaken this flower is about 3 feet. There is one picture with children, the reason why I can estimate its size. It was really big flower.

I tried to research what kind of plant is this. If I am not mistaken this is a kind of a fungus. This was found in Green Valley in the municipality of Midsayap, district of Cotabato in the Philippines.

See how interesting this flower is?
