So Far So Good

in #photography6 years ago

So far so good, this year I have no reason to complain when it comes to planting and growing flower seeds. I can't figure it out why but the way I did it works well.

This is the lobelia, which is a running flower that I was hoping to grow this year instead of the usual petunia. I love petunia, it's a lovely flower but we need change every now and then. Besides, there are so many flowers to try out and enjoy, I see no reason to stick with the same one every year.

I wanted the lobelia very much because my dad also needs running flowers for his porch to replace the usual running petunia that I used to buy for him every year.

As you can see, there's plenty here. They are growing very fast. Now it came the time to get them used to direct sunlight as the sun is not so hot yet. I'm placing them outside every day for a few hours so they can get stronger. Otherwise they would grow very fast and die when they are placed outside. This way the growth is going to be slower but the flowers will be more resistant.

After a week or so I need to repot them as they are already grown out of the tray, they don't have enough space.

This is the surprise of the year. I've bought a package of flower mix seeds, it said balcony flowers and had a bunch of flowers on the package. Now I'm waiting to see what I get 😀

This is Miss Nigella 😄, aka Miss Bad Hair Day! This is a lovely flower I've only seen at @ewkaw's blog. She had one, we were making fun of the flower as it was a little bit like on a bad hair day. I saw the seeds in the supermarket at the beginning of the year and couldn't resist. So here she is! Can't wait to see her blooming 😀

Many thanks.

It looks like there are beautiful plants. I also found that lobelia is one of the finest flowers. I have also planted a lot and soon I will put them in the greenhouse, plants and garden are a very fun hobby. Thank you for sharing.😀👍

I'm looking forward to seeing your collection of flowers, must be a nice one :) Gardening is indeed fun, I love it :)

Oh wow! They all look so good. My Lobelia never looked this nice!
And hardly bloomed. Maybes I sowed her too late and it was getting too hot for her.. I don't know. Pity, cause I love the little flowers.

I'm very enthusiastic about the lobelia, I need it to be wonderful :) I've never had a running flower with so tiny flowers.

That is a whole bunch of flowers getting ready to dazzle you soon. It will be fun to see how they develop!!

Thank you @sustainableliving, I think so too. Can't wait to see the flowers.
