Cuke Flowers Opened.

Some cucumber (Poona Keera) flowers started to open. 

Both plants are about one-foot-tall.

 Can you see the 'cucumber' at the base of the flower? 

Cucumber flowers are large!

Love It! Cosmos Day Dream

Cosmos is very easy to grow, and especially when the flowers are as pretty as this one, it's like hitting a jackpot.

Two months, or 65 days to be exact, after seeding, the first flower has just opened.  I love the color so much <3

Happy but Devastated.

My first Blanket Flower finally bloomed, and I felt a great sense of achievement.  After all, I waited nearly 7 months for this day!

 I love the colors.  What a cheerful flower :)

BUT...

Something devastating has happened in the last few days.  Five days ago, the plant looked like THIS, and today, it looks like the pictures below.

What is going on??  It's all wilted and looks like something stomped on the plant.  Same thing happened to the Blanket Flower I planted in the front yard and killed the first, very-much-anticipated flower.  I've been watering them well, and they looked happy.  Now what?  What did I do wrong?  I've got to do some research on this.  Does anyone know?

Witnessing the Vogue Apple Blossom

Geraniums seeds germinated in 5 days, so I thought this plant was a fast grower.  I was WRONG! These, in fact, grow so slowly that I eventually stopped paying attention, but if I see the pictures in the last entry from January, it sure has grown bigger.  Even better, I found buds!

Can you see the buds?

Close-up.  Can you see the buds?

Single petaled pale pink flowers opened on the 181st day after seeding.  By the way, according to the seed package, the color is indicated as "Vogue Apple Blossom" - so I was expecting to see darker color.

Flowers, Finally!

30 days after planting the bulbs, my paperwhite has finally bloomed!  This really was a beginner friendly plant to grow.  It took only one month to see the flowers since I planted the bulbs. 

Thse flowers made me very happy!  I hope they last long.
