Patience Is Always Rewarded

I was waiting to see my gardenia flowers open up. There were many buds but the temperature was pretty low. Yesterday the temperature has improved and this morning I have seen 4 flowers in bloom.

I'm patiently waiting for my cattleya to bloom, maybe next week, it will fully bloom.

I have only a few bee balm left in my garden. My husband is allergic to them. But, perennials are hard to get rid of them all even if you seemingly pull them all up. There were a few that popped up last year. I left them. I am hoping that my blue globe thistle will bloom when I transplant it. Have to get some top soil for the bed that I will transfer it too. The other plants that I was hoping to see bloom are the morning glories and four o'clocks that I planted from seed. Maybe I can transplant the morning glories at the new place. Not sure.

The one volunteer sunflower should be opening soon. I planted two packs of seeds and only 1 or 2 came up, so this volunteer better be stunning LOL!

And the awarding time...every morning roaming and looking at every flower... just like me.

You are really a flower enthusiast. I like flower very much, especially the ones with bright colors and pleasant slight scents, but I have not had my own garden yet.

I know that you love the summer and your garden best of all. I don't ahve any flowers, but there's one lovely rose on the bush by the back door. I love the wildflowers that bloom just beyond my property, and the bunnies that live in the brush. I hope to see some fireflies.

That's so nice. However, I have been too busy these couple of days I couldn't find the time to notice any flowers around me.

Sorry ,I have no garden apart from some potted flowers on the balcony.I also have geraniums.Now the cape jasmine and jasmine are in full bloom.

I have given up with my garden only because I have very little time to spend in it. My wife dose some of it now but not like I used to. Jabo has a fantastic garden.I look forward to the day I retire and I can claim ownership of my garden again!

I have a rose bud but that is about all at the moment. There will be some wildflowers later.

Dragon fruit.flower.of our neighbor. It is lovely white

It took forever for my hibiscus to bloom. They were slower to come up. I thought I lost them as they took forever to come up this year.

what do you think about sunflowers.

Good to know that you have lots have patience and you love flowers. It is summer season here in New Delhi and there are less flowers. Even if flowers bloom, they die down the next day due to excessive heat and humidity.

As we have mild winters, gerariums are perennials where I live. They bloom the whole year around. Your blosson is beautiful. I had not seen it before.

oh yes indeed! gardening is most rewarding ..

I haven't got a garden so am not waiting for anything in particular to bloom... but enjoy seeing every one elses garden blooms these are in bloom in spain at the moment which I like very much...

I have no flowers, but I love roses and all colorful flowers. Your Bee Balm is nice.

I agree with you. As for now, I am far from my tropical garden.
