Here I am again, friends, ready to share the beauty of my flowers with you. I love spending time in my garden, seeing how my plants grow and bloom every day.
What makes me happy the most is seeing how healthy my flowers are now. Since December is coming, I started organizing my plants and planning ahead. Christmas is just around the corner, and I thought of giving some of my flowers as gifts. Instead of buying something, I want to give a gift that comes from my heart something I took care of with love.
Some of my plants have red leaves and flowers, and I think they are perfect for Christmas gifts. I imagined my friends receiving them surprised and happy. I decided to give Poinsettia plants this year. For me, the best gifts are the ones with meaning, not the ones with the highest price. Sometimes we give something expensive, but the person doesn’t truly appreciate it. That’s why I prefer something simple. What matters most is the heart behind the gift.
I trimmed the dry branches and removed the damaged leaves. Some plants had old or yellowing leaves, so I gently cut them off. I want the plants to look healthy and clean before I transfer them to small . While trimming, I was talking to the plants without realizing it my mother laughed and said I looked like I was talking to a person. That moment made me smile and I realized how important it is to let go of things that no longer help the plant grow just like in life, sometimes we need to remove what drags us down so we can bloom better.
I don’t know why, but every time I clean and take care of my plants, my mind becomes clearer. I can think of anything while working with them. Even though the plants don’t talk back, they calm me. I truly believe that plants are therapy they help lighten the heavy thoughts we carry. Sometimes I even joke that the only thing missing is for the plants to talk and answer everything I tell them.
Torenia Fournieri I’m not even sure if that is its exact name because I personally call it beauty purple. This plant grows fast and it’s not sensitive at all. Even if I just leave it alone, it keeps multiplying. That’s what I love about it. When I water it regularly and it gets enough sunlight, it becomes even healthier and grows even more.
This is also one of my favorite plants. I love seeing it when it’s full of flowers. It’s easy to trim, too. I often notice how others arrange their plants into fences or along edges, and it looks so beautiful, especially with the white flowers. I also like the heart shaped style that some people make, so I’m letting mine grow first before trying to shape it that way.
I’ll end my story here. Thank you to everyone who supported me and took the time to visit. All the photos in this post are mine, and I edited them using Canva
