You can find pots flooded with beautiful flowers in many colors in any flower shop and nursery or at farmers markets.
I’ m not so happy these days. For many years every summer I had one big nightflower in the sidewalk of street. I like it very much, it was good for me to see it from my window.
The electricity company dig the sidewalk this week because they will put the electrity cables underground. It was not the first time, they dig often the sidewalk for many reasons like telephony or water supply and I am sure that will dig it again for natural gas.
My plot was green and full with wildflowers of spring. I love wildflowers, you can find them with so many different colors and shapes in green fields. They are the first signs of spring and I think all gardeners love spring and wait for these colorful signs of mother earth.
I like to take photographs of wildflowers, I think I want to make a photo collection with different wild flowers from Greece the next years. The difficult part with this photo collection is taxonomy. Some flowers are easy like poppy but for some other flowers you need to search many hours or days until you can find the magical name.
I think it’s autumn. Well, ok I am not so sure about this. The weather is crazy the last months here and it’s like sping before summer. Only the nights you feel some cold but the most of the day you are ok with t-shirts.
But my chrysanthemum knows that it’s time to blossom and give me those beautiful yellow flowers like every autumn.
As waiting autumn I also waiting my greens to grow. I already eat fresh green onions from my container garden but my other green salads need more time.
I receive some greek seeds from a seed organization and they give me a book also where many people from Greece offer their seeds. The bad think is that most of them don’t wrote the exact varieties they grow.
We have a really beautiful plant here in the city. My mother love it and take some seeds 2 years before from a plant which saw somewhere. She start the seeds and now we have 2 big plants in containers. The flowers are really big about 20-30cm but they last only 1 day.
I really want to know the name of this beautiful plant and I will be happy if you know it. The only information I have about this plant is that start blossom in July here.
