Roses for Easter Greetings

I already read a lot of Easter greetings  from my  friends in  facebook especially the ones from Asia.  If you are a Christian, you surely know what is Easter. For those who don't know  it, Easter  is a feast celebrating resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion at Calvary as described in the New Testament.

Here  is a bundle of lovely  and beautiful   roses  for all of you!

"The resurrection gives my life meaning and direction and the opportunity to start over no matter what my circumstances."  ~Robert Flatt

Just Our Garden

This is just a part of our garden. For now you cannot see any flowers outside because it is winter season. When spring comes, I know I will be seeing again some flowers especially the tulips. I planted more last autumn time and can't wait to see it. Our garden will also have a new look this year because we did some changes in it.

You can here some roses, cosmos, gumamela or hibiscus, poppy peridot, gladiola, lavender and many many more.

Red Geranium, Pink Roses and What's the Yellow One?

It seems that the weather today is not so friendly. I heard over the radio that the streets and highways in Bavaria, Germany were very icy and slippery this morning, thus caused some car accidents to some drivers. Be careful especially to my friends around in Bavaria.

I found again some flowers in my External Hard Drive. I know I have lot of them especially the ones taken from our garden. I just have a bit difficulty in trying to find it in my EHD because until now I still don't have the time to arrange my flower files. I know one day I can find time to fix and arrange my picture files.

Here are some flowers from our garden. I hope to see them again in summer. I need to plant the others again because they won't come back after winter time like the red Geranium here.

I guess this flower belongs to Asteraceae or Compositae family...it has two visitors at the same time.

Pink rose looking on the cloudy day..will see them again this spring time!

Flowers and More Flowers

How's your Saturday peeps! I hope you had a fantastic one. I am thankful after feeling better from a bit headache. I guess this was caused by a visitor who always comes monthly to me. Thanks goodness that I am back to normal now.

Anyway to continue with my post.. I was browsing the picture files from my external drive and found some flowers which I took last summer 2009. I only remember the name of the first flower. This is Dahlia.

Yellow Dahlias in Our Garden

It seems that the author of this site is quite busy for a long time. Yes, she is. She had a vacation in Spain last time, the holiday season, some tasks online and offline and so many things that she is taking care of. She has finally the chance to update this blog.

Here are some dahlias from our garden last summer. I love these flowers and can't wait to see them again next year.

I also hope that everyone had a wonderful and memorable Christmas. I am wishing you all in advance a happy New Year!

Dahlias grow naturally in climates which do not experience frost, consequently they are not adapted to withstand sub-zero temperatures. However their tuberous nature enables them to survive periods of dormancy, and this characteristic means that gardeners in temperate climates with frosts can grow dahlias successfully, provided the tubers are lifted from the ground and stored in cool yet frost-free conditions during the winter.

Fungus, Flower or What?

I saw these pictures some months ago in one of my FB friends photos. It was an amazing flower. The comments of some of my friends in Facebook says, that this might be an alien flower. lol! If I am not mistaken this flower is about 3 feet. There is one picture with children, the reason why I can estimate its size. It was really big flower.

I tried to research what kind of plant is this. If I am not mistaken this is a kind of a fungus. This was found in Green Valley in the municipality of Midsayap, district of Cotabato in the Philippines.

See how interesting this flower is?

Wild Flowers on the Walking Way

We always see wild flowers on the walking way. This is true especially during summer season. Since Autumn is coming now, most of the wild flowers are slowly gone. The beauty of nature always wonders me....so as the wild flowers around. See nobody take care of them but they survive. How much more for us when Somebody is taking care of us.

Peace to everyone and always be thankful of being here in this world.

I can't remember the exact name of these yellow wild flowers. I have a book about wild flowers but I can't find it right now.

Seeing the trees, valleys, grasses and all nature around makes me always relax and comfortable. I love nature!

Lovely Butterfly in the Wilderness

She keeps on flying and flying,
Finally, she landed on the grasses
and I have a wonderful glimpse of her.
Such a lovely butterfly in the wilderness.

taken one beautiful sunny summer in 2010 in Bavaria, Germany.

Beautiful Dahlia in our Garden

Dahlia is a genus of bushy, tuberous, perennial plants native to Mexico, Central America, and Colombia. There are at least 36 species of dahlia, some like D. imperialis up to 10 metres tall. Dahlia hybrids are commonly grown as garden plants. The Aztecs gathered and cultivated the dahlia for food, ceremonies, as well as decorative purposes, and the long woody stem of one variety was used for small pipes.

Dahlias are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Angle Shades, Common Swift, Ghost Moth and Large Yellow Underwing. wikipedia.

the beautiful dahlia in our garden. sad to say, it did not survive the last cold winter.

Wet Gladiola in Our Garden

Here comes the rain,
and make our garden wet.
All the plants are happy,
As the rainwater drops.

taken last summer 2010 in our garden....guess i am always late in posting but better than nothing..love this plant..

Gladiolus (from Latin, the diminutive of gladius, a sword) is a genus of perennial bulbous flowering plants in the iris family (Iridaceae). Sometimes called the sword lily, the most widely used English common name for these plants is simply gladiolus (plural gladioli, gladioluses or sometimes gladiolas).

The Cosmos Flower Has A Visitor

As I went to our garden to breath some fresh air this morning, I heard some sounds. I was trying to look around where it came from. I was even afraid because I heard a loud sound from bees. There, they go! I saw them sipping the flowers from the wild grape vines.

The cosmos flower below has also a visitor who is trying to sip the minerals in its flower. Hopefully next month, I can see again the blooms from the cosmos flowers in our garden.

This was taken from our garden last summer 2010.

Cosmos is a genus, with the same common name of Cosmos, of about 20–26 species of annual and perennial plants in the family Asteraceae. Cosmos are herbaceous perennial plants growing 0.3–2 m tall. The leaves are simple, pinnate, or bipinnate, and arranged in opposite pairs. The flowers are produced in a capitulum with a ring of broad ray florets and a center of disc florets; flower color is very variable between the different species. The genus includes several ornamental plants popular in gardens.

Lilium Flowers Are Blooming in Our Garden

One of my favorite flowers in our garden are currently blooming now. Thanks to the rain for the past days until today. It makes the plants and the flowers happy. The farmers in our area might be smiling at the moment. They finally have the rain that they are asking for their fields. The only person that is not happy is hubby because he cannot work outside for our garage and terrace.

The lilies you see below are only some of the flowers that I planted in our garden. I am happy seeing them blooming right now.

Lilium is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants growing from bulbs. Most species are native to the temperate northern hemisphere. They comprise a genus of about 110 species in the lily family (Liliaceae).

Poppy Flowers

This is my birth flower. That is also the reason I bought some last year for our garden. I am glad to know that they are back again in our yard. Poppy are flowering plants which belongs to poppy family. There are a lot of kinds of poppy flowers. I will see what are exactly the ones in our garden.

a kind of poppy flower.

Yellow Begonia

Begonia is the common name and the generic name of all genus that belongs to flowering plant family Begoniaceae. It is a perennial plant which means that it can live for over two years. But with the very cold winter in Germany, all the begonias in our garden were gone last time. That was the reason why I did not bought some last year.

a beautiful yellow Begonia. I took this image in a garden center.

Roses in Our Garden

We have been transferring some flowers and plants in our garden since two weeks ago. When it will be raining in the next days, I will be doing it again. I find it not good digging plants and transferring it when the weather is hot. I am afraid the plants will die.

We are almost done with the roses. I still have some more that needs to be transferred. Anyway the roses below was taken last summer 2010 in our garden.

did you see the castle tower on the picture..yes, we live near a castle ruin and I love it.

Anthurium or Flamingo Flowers

The Anthurium, also called as Flamingo Flowers or Boy flowers as being called as such due to its structure, the spathe and spadix. It belongs to arum family (Araceae) with around 600 to 1,000 species.

different colors and forms of Anthurium. I took this image during our visit to a garden center.

Anthurium flowers develop crowded in a spike on a fleshy axis, called a spadix, a characteristic of the Araceae. The flowers on the spadix are often divided sexually with a sterile band separating male from female flowers. Like other Aroids, many species of Anthurium can be grown as houseplants, or outdoors in mild climates in shady spots.

The First Crocus in Our Garden

I am happy to see the first flowers that are currently blooming in our garden this spring time. The crocus are finally here! Who tells the crocus to come back in our garden every year? That is the power and magic of nature and its Maker! It makes my day happy everytime I see it outside...amazing beauty of nature!

I took this photo last week in our garden. Spring is finally here!
