@adventuresofalgy I looked for something (flowery of course) the might go well with fluffy, as a belated birthday gift for Algy. I found soft. I found cushiony. I found billowy. I even found scary, which I will not share with Algy, though maybe later when he’s sleeping or visiting foreign lands. But nothing that brought to mind comfortably fluffy. Then I remembered Algy’s little green visitor, and thought perhaps this fire engine red (and school bus yellow) snapdragon might intrigue a dragon from Patadragonia.
My dear friend @photoblogdujour Algy is overwhelmed by your thoughtfulness - thank you so much❣️
Algy adores these gorgeous fiery colours and he is sure that these lovely snapdragonswill be exactly what is required to help help the little green dragon stay warm and dry in the wet west Highlands of Scotland.
Algy sends you an extra special fluffy hug and a warm glow from his little dragon friend
(p.s. Snapdragons are among the few flowers that can grow successfully in Algy’s assistants’ garden, and they are much loved here, but they certainly don’t flower at this time of year!)
Just 5 days after being planted the sunflowers have sprouted! On the pic, 3 from white seeds still with the seed as hat, but another 3 from black seeds have sprouted. A coupled of days after that I planted another from striped seeds so a friend and me can grow them at the same time. They look cute!
The adenium is getting fattier and developed new leaves, I also find it cute. I’m telling my parents all day “look at my babies, how cute and how much they have grown!” hahaha. The lemon/mandarin’s leaves are growing too, I hope I can tell soon which kind of tree is it by looking at them. I have looked at some forums but I’m still not sure.
Nasturtiums grew some leaves in just two days, pansies are taking their time, tomorrow I will move them a bit so they can get more sunlight.
Both batches of snapdragons are doing well, mom keeps saying that the big ones look like tomato plants to her, but in fact my tomato plants are tinier than the small ones!
The last 3 pics are from the balcony on this sunny afternoon. The callas are opening their leaves, and the dahlias are now 6cm tall. It makes me happy looking at all of them everyday, I wish I could show them to grandpa, he would like to talk about it and giving me tips. I want to take some of the flowers that hopely will bloom to the cemetery next time, grandma loved flowers so he always had the garden full of them for her.
Have I shown you this one? They started to grow on it’s own, the only bulbous plant they have near is mom’s calla, but they don’t look like the sprouts I transplanted the other day, I wonder what are they? The tips are open to the sides, not together like the callas were, and are growing way slowlier. I want to know what they are!
