I grow plants for many reasons

Flower pots in the backyard

I grow plants for many reasons: to please my eye or to please my soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for novelty or for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy in seeing them grow.

Hi my friends,

Time is running fast! It's already Wednesday or Mittwoch in German language. Let's celebrate "Mittwoch" and I want to say thank you for all the kind comments I got for my chairs photo yesterday with the song of Bryan Adams.

I appreciate every single comment!

Happy to see you visiting again.

Spring is around the corner

Hi my friends,

thanks for ALL your wonderful comments and good wishes from yesterday - I love you all! Dave is at home and he feels fine. We are happy that everything is (almost) back to normal again.

The picture I have posted today is a symbol for spring time, a time of new beginning in everything, everywhere. Spring time is the most beautiful season of the year - for me.

Stay with me, stay tuned - and see you tomorrow.

Susanne

Camellia

Camellia, the camellias,

is a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae. They are native to eastern and southern Asia, from the Himalaya east to Korea and Indonesia. There are 100–250 described species, with some controversy over the exact number. The genus was named by Linnaeus after the Jesuit botanist Georg Joseph Kamel from Brno, who worked on the Philippines. This genus is famous throughout East Asia; camellias are known as cháhuā (茶花) in Chinese, as tsubaki (椿) in Japanese, and as dongbaek-kkot (동백꽃) in Korean.

The most famous member – though often not recognized as a camellia – is certainly the tea plant (C. sinensis). Among the ornamental species, the Japanese Camellia (C. japonica) (which despite its name is also found in Korea and Eastern China) is perhaps the most widely-known, though most camellias grown for their flowers are cultivars or hybrids.

Hi my friends,

thank you so much for all your visits and comments and kind words yesterday.

It's time for us to get out a little bit again for "snapping" some fresh air. It's very nice today out there, the sun is shining but the temps are in the 60's - don't forget to take the jacket with you :)

See you again tomorrow? yes, here...exactly on this spot, I'll be here!

Scent of Jasmine

Jasmine or Jessamine (Jasminum) (from Persian yasmin, i.e. "gift from God"^[1][2], via Arabic^[3]) is a genus of shrubs and vines in the olive family (Oleaceae),with about 200 species, native to tropical and warm temperate regions of the Old World. The majority of species grow as climbers on other plants or on structures. The leaves can be either evergreen or deciduous, and are opposite in most species; leaf shape is simple, trifoliate or pinnate with up to nine leaflets. Jasmine tea is also very efficient against coughs, sore throats or other problems to do with the bronchites.
