This made my day :)


Isn't it beautiful? I saw it this morning and I couldn't believe it! One of my little plants has already made a flower!! How awesome. I've spotted three more blossoms. I'm so proud of them!
Now, does it mean it's gonna stay little? I thought the plant should be grown fully before making flowers. I'm clueless about these things:P

Awww. It'd make my day too! Such a pretty flower.

Che carina!! You should post more pictures as it keeps blooming.

Karen said...

Gorgeous! I'm sorry - I'm totally clueless about these sorts of things too (every plant I have ever had - bar one - has died!).

I showed your pictures to my parents (They do a bit of gardening), but they couldn't identify it right off hand. I'll see what else I can find out.
Some hints for now:
If they're blooming like that you're probably more or less doing the right thing.
They look like the kind of plant that stays small and crawls along the ground, so you probably don't need a bigger pot.
The tricky part about growing plants is how much to water them. Too much water and they'll drown; too little and they'll dry up. Since they're growing, you've probably got that right, though.

That's lovely.

That's beautiful. Sorry can't help, any plant that finds its way into my house will end up dying. :)

At least there is a flower! I would've killed it by now. lol

So lovely! Thanks for sharing, Valentina! :D

those are lovely...i can't wait to see mine start growing.

valentina said...

thank you guys! I'm actually amazed that I haven't killed it yet! finger crossed:)

Thanks for your feedback wisewit, I also think it'll stay small. But I might try to put them in separate pots anyway, to see if, with more space, they might expand a bit. I wish I had a garden so it could grow naturally on a meadow or something...

Update: Now there's two new flowers! I might post some more pictures later on:)

@serena: what are you growing?
