Yesterday when I saw the garden of Janet aka @jaboUK through her you tube video, I was inspired to make my own. I have loads of photos of my flowers that I thought why not. I have a you tube channel but it is the first time that I have uploaded photos into a video. It looks good and I am proud of myself to have planted most of these flowers. I hope you will like the video I have created. I don't know some of the names of these flowers and you might be able to tell me what flower you know in this video. Thanks.
I created this video with the YouTube Slideshow Creator (http://www.youtube.com/upload)

@thelme55 Yes of course . It needs a lot of time too and a " green thumb" to have this beautiful garden filled with flowering plants . .

Thanks @SIMPLYD but you don't have to envy me. It costs a lot of work to have those flowering plants.

Ok. Gute Besserung! That means I hope you feel better soon. That's a German word but I can't find any short translation for that.

@louievill the bulb of torch ginger, like the photo above, is cooked in China and in Thailand when making curry. I have not tried that yet and I will to know how it tastes. I have found out through my research about this plant.

@hereandthere yes, angus did that to me, too. When that video ended, he was looking at me. Then Angus jumped from my hubby's arm and did that to me what he did to my hubby. I had a hard time trying to calm Angus. He really missed us.

You have a beautiful garden. The large pink one, not the cover picture, looks like Rose of Sharon.
