What kind of flower are you?

by

I figured this is the perfect quiz for a group of gardeners.

I took the quiz and it turns out that:

I am a
Daisy

What Flower
Are You?

“You are just a sweet person. When a friend needs a shoulder to cry on, you are happy to offer yours with a box of tissues as well. Once in awhile, you wish you could be a little more dramatic but then sensibility sets back in and you know that you are perfect the way you are.”

Awwww. Here I was hoping that I’d turn out to be a rose or some exotic flower and I’m just a daisy. A reliable, dependable daisy.

Have you taken this quiz before? If you have what kind of flower did you turn out to be? If you haven’t taken the quiz but decide to try it come back and tell me what you were. I just hope that no one turns out to be one of those stink flowers. LOL






Time lapse of Cyclamen blooming

I love the music that accompanies this video.

This is a time lapse video of a cyclamen blooming.

The plant starts out with no blooms and by the end of the video you’ve watched 5 or 6 blossoms develop and bloom. It’s beautiful.

I love cyclamen but they are very hard to keep indoors.

I had one once and when it started to do poorly in the house, it was spring, I planted it outdoors. It came up the next year, but I don’t recall seeing any sign of it this past year.

Pelargonium

Pelargonium

The pelargonium is often mistaken for, and sometimes even mislabeled in home centers as a geranium.

It’s related but it most definitely is not a geranium. I grow these flowers in the summer – putting them in my hanging baskets, pots, and window boxes.

The flowers come in many different colours and they bloom on stiff stalks. As the blooms on the stalk fade the stalk dies off and dries up. I regularly cut out the dead and dying stocks in order to make the Pelargoniums bloom a little bit faster.

A number of people have contacted me in the last two weeks wanting to join Green Thumb Sunday but they have failed to let me know whether they’ve successfully put the blogroll on their sites. If you are new and you’re playing, but you don’t see your site listed on the blogroll – your likely one of the people that I’m talking about. Just let me know that you are playing and that you have the blogroll up and I’ll get you listed. Ok?
