I planted Zinnia seeds in different shades of pink a few months ago. They did flower and are still flowering at the moment.
This morning, I was surprised to find a lone bloom in the pretty shade of yellow. What a thrill. It was a nice surprise.
And my Shanghai Beauty is showing beautiful pink blooms again. I would just trim it when the flowers have dried up.
The joys of gardening, they give that nice bit of heaven when you least expect them.
I have harvested almost a kilo of kalamansi (Philippine lime), divided them into three small plastic bags for our neighbors. One of them gave me seeds from her pink Four O’Clock blooms. In a few months, I expect to have those pretty pink blooms which usually appear at four o’clock in the afternoon.
Don’t you just love gardening?

Your garden seems to thrive under your care. Mine is rebellious. I adore four o’clocks, but only four plants grew from a packet of seeds. They did not re-seed.

They are pretty in different colors Anne. I bought a packet of seeds a few months ago but nothing thrived. Maybe they are old ones.

I wish that I loved gardening like you do, Arlene. I am looking at a rain-drenched garden this morning, and wishing that I had someone else to tidy it up for me. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

Haha, at least all the gardening tools you can use to make it easy Pete. Here, gardening is manually done, even cutting and trimming the carabao grass is a hard task.

Yes Arlene, I too love gardening! Your garden looks like a small paradise! Those zinnias are gorgeous! It’s been raining here so I have to wait for the ground to dry up a bit before doing some fall cleanup!
