When-sday Memories is a series of posts, mostly during the winter, to showcase some of my previous nature posts. When were they previously posted ... way back when.
I'm longing for spring to come and be able to work in and enjoy the garden once again. So now we are moving towards spring it's time to think about what to plant in the garden.
The When-sday memory for today was originally posted on July 24, 2009 and it shows the beautiful zinnias that I grow from seed each year.
The more you look ... the more you see.
From a tight green bud to a gorgeous flower in a few days.
The colour and pattern combinations are endless.
Nature never fails to amaze me.
I've been taking photos of the zinnia buds over the past several days and put together a silde show, sort of like my own time lapse photography, so you can see the process.
After the drenching rain of Thursday (50 mm in a couple of hours) I don't have to water my plants this weekend so for this Friday I'm getting a reprieve from getting out the liquid fertilizer and feeding and watering my plants. I'll be sure to do it when they dry out. Right now the pots are still draining.

I'm really looking forward to planting seeds and watching them grow. How about you?

Thanks for taking time to visit today. I hope you have time to say hi and leave a comment.
Well my luck with seeds seems to be not good. Maybe the birds eat the seeds? I have no idea but rarely do they grow. If they do they come up in weird spots.
ReplyDeleteLast year I got a few packs of zinnas and put them in. I will probably do that again this year. They are so pretty!
I can't wait to see what grows in your garden!
Thanks for visiting my blog. :)
