Accepting the challenge – Flowers in my name

There are challenges galore at Literacy Base and here’s one more – ‘Flowers in your name’

I am sure I am going to enjoy writing this blog as gardening is my passion. So here I go – hold your breath.

I went about searching for flowers in my garden – I have well over 50/60 of them to see if there were any flowers that shared the same letters as my name. And there you are I have them all. No. I did not plan it that way. It just happened.

I may have more flowers starting with the letter ‘G’ but Gerbera came to mind instantly.

This flower is an artist’s delight as it has a perfect shape and a great colour too

Roses knew that they would be mentioned here as any gardener would be proud to show off the roses in their garden. Roses are a difficult lot to please but if they get what they want they can surprise you as this rose surprised me

Anthuriums have decided to run away although the pink one has stayed loyal to me. I had a few colours but I am hellbent on getting them back

Chrysanthemums also called affectionately as Mums are the prettiest among flowers. They have a great smell too. They are annuals and are normally seen during Christmas time. I had a few colours but now I am left with only one. It is all my fault as they need to be replanted each season which I failed to do. Somehow this mauve shade has survived.

 

I went euphoric when my first Euphorbia started to bloom. They have several thorns and need to be handled carefully. They could be easily multiplied and now with just one plant I have several.

I also have a pink colour which my dearly brother who is no more gifted to me.

There is yet another yellow which also was gifted to me by a nun friend. That too is growing nicely.

 

That’s the story of flowerful Grace.

    • Great job. Love the flowers. How wonderful that you have a garden with the flowers of your name. I am not sure that I have seen an Eurphorbia before but it is very pretty. I like how the petals seem to swirl together. Gives it a very unique look.

      • Thanks. When I saw the euphorbia for the first time I too was quite impressed and now I have multiplied and have them in many pots.

    • Grace? That is your real name?
      I thought your name is bestwriter!
      Wow, your garden is fulled with 50-60 flowers?
      Are you a gardener?
      Superb! You have the green thumb for planting flowers.
      I don't. I can't plant anything that is related to flowers.
      My garden is either full of weeds or vegetables in flower pots.
      I have spinach, spring onion and chives.

      Your flowers are so beautiful, as beautiful as your name
      growing gracefully!

      • How can my real name be bestwriter that is only my user id here. Yes. As mentioned elsewhere I have big garden and I have lost count of the number of flowers that grow ofcourse at different times in the year.

    • All lovely flowers, especially your vibrant orange Gerbera! I also love the mums. They are such a delicate shade of purple :D

    • It is not fair. Which flower starts with k and h but i will take the challenge

    • You say right your name is grace is graceful like the tenderness and delicacy of red rose. I like your style of telling how your name is so much important really a good idea for others must trace their name flowers on earth,

      I have seen that Flowers and plants feel the energy of love and all plants thrive in a calm and happy environment, they especially enjoy music and have varied tastes depending on what species they are, the emotion they release is dictated by their surroundings.

      They have auras and react to people’s moods, becoming tense if around loud or erratic energies, they have an awareness and feel empathy. Tests were conducted in the 70?s, the discovery was that when plants were subjected to undue stress they fainted and remained non responsive for a time.

      ndeed the symbolism of the Rose is even more complex than the Grail, given the beauty of its form, the number and arrangement of the petals with their velvety texture, the intoxicating perfume and, deep inside, the hidden golden heart enfolded within the petals, concealing the Mystery of the Centre. A 12th century Persian poet wrote, “Mystery glows in the rose bed, the secret is hidden in the rose.
