Home and Garden

Just sharing quick this Jade plant in our window in the living room…It is really growing so good and so fast. When I bought this 4 years ago, this has only some leaves in it that you can even count it!! Not it is fully grown-up and still keep on growing!!

those are also some my capo deMOnte collections from Italy!! bye for now..see you tomorrow again!!

I have different kinds of Roses in our garden…I love them too!! Colors ranging from white, to yellow, orange, pink, red are the ones that I have. I remember during my birthday this month, my husband want to cut these bundles of Roses to gave it to me..I told him, you have trouble with me if you do that…lol…and he just laughed!!..I would like better to see them in my garden that be displayed in a flower vase..

Some rose flowers are still blooming now but some of the leaves are already starting to fall down..I guess autumn time is fast coming!! Sometimes the weather in the night is just so cold that I think is the reason why the leaves continue to fall down..

just sharing these beautiful Roses in our garden!!! I really love them!!! how about you??
have a great day to all!!

I love all kinds of plants and flowers..whatever kind of plant it is, I believed it still posses it’s own beauty and charm. That is how crazy I am about plants and flowers. It is just so sad that in Germany I can’t go gardening the whole year because or winter time. Unlike in the Philippines where all year round, almost kinds of plants and flowers can grow.

Anyway, my husband told me that our house is now a little forest because almost all windows have plants or flowers in it..I love it though and my husband can’t do anything about it…wink!! How I wish I can have a winter garden!!..but it is too expensive here in Germany to have it…hmmm!!!…any donations???? just kidding..

guess that’s all for now..have a great day to all especially to all nature lovers out there!!

I guess I have around 8 kinds of cacti in our house. I love them because they don’t consume too much space.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cactus

A cactus (plural: cacti, the word derives from Greek, thus the Latin plural “cacti” is etymologically inappropriate, though it is frequently used nonetheless as is otherwise singular “cactus”) is any member of the succulent plant family Cactaceae, native to the Americas. They are often used as ornamental plants, but some are also crop plants.

Cacti are distinctive and unusual plants, which are adapted to extremely arid and hot environments, showing a wide range of anatomical and physiological features which conserve water. Their stems have expanded into green succulent structures containing the chlorophyll necessary for life and growth, while the leaves have become the spines for which cacti are so well known.

Cacti come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. The tallest is Pachycereus pringlei, with a maximum recorded height of 19.2 m, and the smallest is Blossfeldia liliputiana, only about 1 cm diameter at maturity. Cactus flowers are large, and like the spines and branches arise from areoles. Many cactus species are night blooming, as they are pollinated by nocturnal insects or small animals, principally moths and bats. Cacti range in size from small and globular to tall and columnar.

I’m sharing today this very beautiful photo I took while we went walking this afternoon….see how amazing nature’s beauty is!!!…The blue sky with some clouds in it, plus the green trees around are just perfect to cool off your eyes!!

My strawberries in our garden did not grow very good this year. well, I was in United States for two months and nobody take care of them…Nagtampo ata ang aking mga berries!! I’m sad but autumn time is almost coming again and guess not so much for them to grow good now…hope next year they will come back and grow better…Last year, I can’t eat all my harvest because it was really a lot..I even made some strawberry cake..that was so yummy…

strawberries in our garden!!

I was amazed by the beauty of these flowers. These are called Trumpet flowers because they look like trumpet but only inverted. really beautiful..I took this today while we went walking and shopping in Regensburg!!

have a nice weekend in advance to all!!!

photo I took in Regensburg

As we visited my husband’s twin sister last time, my attention was caught by this very beautiful vegetable flower in their terrace..after asking for permission, I took this photo..this is original pix, no retouching or fixing..oh well, I’m quite tired now..need to sleep for tomorrow’s adventure!!! see yah!!

i love these beautiful Palm Trees in Las Vegas…everytime we go around the city, you can see some beautifully planted palms trees..In a desert city like Las Vegas, Palm Trees are best suited in this kind of weather..there is an automatic watering system around these trees that keeps them alive during summer time especially when it is very very hot…as in real hot!! Hmmm. I was there last May and JUne of this year…that was a great vacation!!

photos I took somewhere in Las Vegas during my two months vacation there.

I finally decided to purchased a domain for this blog. I purhased it last Tuesday Aug. 12, 2008..My husband finally have a credit card.. We don’t use a credit card but since I figure out that really need one, I convinced my husband to get one…and we finally have it!!…I guess this is also good so I don’t have to disturb other friends who already help me about blogging.. Sometimes it is just shameful to ask for friends some favor about purchasing a domain. Blogger.com don’t accept paypal, so I guess this is better then.

Thanks to some friends out there who help me improve my blogging and all the tips and infos about blogging. I really appreciate everything and I mean it.. One day you will be rewarded in one way or another.

I know I still have to learn a lot in the blogosphere..at least I’m trying and learning new things here..but there are just things that I think I don’t have talent..Thanks once again to friends who help me here!!

have a great weekend ahead!!
