My own flowers! I am happy that these bloomed. And to think the nursery was trying to sell them for about $20 each and was tossing them out. See what a little TLC can do?
I have no idea if I can save these from year to year. It wouldn’t hurt if I brought them in before the frost. I have to designate a place for my bring in plants. Where I had them in the past year-well between the heat and too much sun, I didn’t have much left by March.
Later Bri and I are taking Cosmo kitty to the vet. I refuse to go alone. It’s hard enough to get him in the cat carrier as it is. He’s been such an affectionate fellow too. Last night he was so content to be on my lap. Hope he doesn’t hate me tonight!


I had bought a Mandavilla plant last year and brought it in for the winter…it survived and this summer I’ve put it back outside. It’s just now starting to get buds so it should be in flower soon…I have to keep covering it at night though because it gets so cool. I actually should bring it in but will wait another couple of weeks. I need to make sure it doesn’t have any kind of little bugs on it before I bring it back in!! xox
Beautiful blooms. I hope you find a place to save them for next year.
