Nighttime Clouds And Moon

Caught the morning. Caught the night. Love this moon!

I'm a baking and gardening enthusiast. I make silly movies that will never be relevant but pleases me all the same. I tend to say things that make people look at me like "whaaaaa?" I get it from my mother and she gets it from her father. Tradition is nice.

The Beautiful Variegated Willow Bush

-

I walked into The Dee's Nursery two weeks ago and found a few Willow Bushes sitting on the ground. Immediately I knew I had to have one! The leaves are variegated green with ivory and white and the new growth is pink. It flows delicately in the wind yet its full foliage makes it look quite substantial. This is the newest shrub in my front landscape. So happy I found it! For pruning information see How To Prune A Variegated Willow .

Polka Dot Begonia - Six Months Later

In June 2021, I posted about the Polka Dot Begonia (Begonia Maculata) I salvaged from the garbage. A change of temperature during shipping had caused the entire box of plants to drop all their leaves. After a couple months of care, the begonia finally grew two small leaves and then remained like that for several months.

I received a shipment of Polka Dot Plants ( Begonia Maculata ) which had dropped all their leaves due to the drastic change in temperature; from hot greenhouse to cold air conditioned store. Even though the plant was 'naked' (as you can see above) I decided to buy one and nurse it back to life. I've had it for a few weeks and it is now slowly beginning to strengthen. The small dotted leaf on the bottom of the photo is new growth. I keep my Polka Dot Begonia in a room with lots of indirect sunlight. When I turn the AC on, I usually move the plant to a room that is warmer. I know this isn't feasible for everybody but do your best to keep the temperature steady. I will update this post as I care for the plant and provide more information and pictures of its progress.  Begonia   Maculata True Name: Begonia Maculata Light: Bright, indirect light will promote strong growth and blooms. *Avoid direct sunlight. Water: Keep the soil generally moist, letting the top half inch of s...
