Create lists of plants you’ve grown or garden to do lists on Meosphere

by Tricia

I just joined an interesting site called Meosphere. The site is a collection of lists, and links that site members have created. Each member can create their own Meosphere.

As the sites about page says we all have our Meosphere. You could even say this blog has it’s own meosphere, a gardening meosphere perhaps.

The best way to explain this site to you is to show you.

I went looking for gardening related items and I found a Meosphere list had had already been started. It’s called “Flowers You’ve grown”. I went through the list and ticked off all the flowers on the list that I’ve grown at some point in my life or that are currently growing in my garden. Then I saved a list of the flowers I’ve grown as my own list. I can’t find an embed list link for my own list though so I’ll just paste the first list here to show you:

Now we all know that even more flowers could be added to that list but that’s the beauty of the meosphere lists. You can place a check mark beside all the flowers on this list that you grow and save your own copy of the list. Then you can add even more flowers to it if you’d like. You can even edit your saved list to add descriptions and photos of each item.

Can you see the possibilities?

I think I may spend a bit of time on Meosphere later today. I might create some gardening to do lists. You know, specific spring, summer, and autumn gardening tasks for Zone 5b gardeners. Others on the site can find my lists and make their own copies adding tasks specific to their own gardening zones. You could also make lists of your gardening books, favorite garden tools, and so on. I love it.

You could make lists of just about anything in this manner and since we’re bloggers it could be yet another way to interact with our readers.

Please do feel free to check off the flowers that you grow on this list and make your own list out of it. I’d love to visit your meospheres to see what you’ve created and see lists of what you’ve been growing.

Such a fluffy rose

by Tricia

Sharifa Asma English Rose

Sharifa Asma – a lovely English rose.

Just looking at this photo brings the scent of this rose to mind. It has one of the most beautiful rose scents that I’ve ever smelled.

My Sharifa Asma is about five years old and grows to approximately 3 to 4 feet in height each year. It’s fairly hardy, probably a zone four with some protection.

It’s flowers are multi-petaled as shown above. They are what I call “fluffy” roses. They have more of an old rose look when the flower bud is first opening but as the flower matures the petals let loose and you get a full and fluffy look like I’ve pictured above.

Do you grow English Roses? Which ones are your favorites?

My favorite flowers are roses

by Tricia

Have you ever thought about what your favorite flower is? That might be a simple question for a non-gardener, but I’m sure there are many people with gardens who would probably have a very hard time picking just one flower as their favorite.

I know I had a hard time deciding which flower might be my favorite, but then I thought well which flower do I grow the most of? The rose of course!

I suppose that many would pick the rose as their favorite flower because there are so many sentimental memories attached to the rose. It might be the first flower their spouse gave them. It might remind a person of romantic occasions or special occasions such as their own wedding.

Whatever the reason my bet is that the rose is the worlds favorite flower.

mbqfrenchkiss_grn07_l.jpg If I were to send a bouquet of roses to someone I loved I think I’d send this Summer Elegance Bouquet of flowers . It has lovely red roses as well as another favorite of mine – Lilies. The lilies in this bouquet are pink Nerine Lilies and pink Stargazer lilies – each compliment the roses quite nicely.

I love roses, lilies and many other flowers of summer. I think this bouquet signifies the best of summer.

What’s your favorite flower?
