Plant of the Day
Wednesday 19 February 2025
Part of the displays at the David Welch Winter Gardens in Duthie Park, Aberdeen, were a range of Hippeastrum cultivars (amaryllis). These tender bulb needs to be planted in a container indoors in a colder climate, from October to January. The bulbs should flower about six to eight weeks after planting, and provided the foliage is allowed to produce energy for another bulb and there is a cooler rest period it will flower the next winter. A friend of mine has kept the same plant for over 40 years!

This will never cease to erase all worries i have in life if its your hand and mine recreating this

When I shut my eyes Iβm trying to envision and obtain self compassion, what I really want from life.
To be near the people who continue to grow dear to me, Uncrustables, and to preserve, protect, learn, and be one with beautiful, breath taking, more than I can comprehend, types of places such as this.
Sometimes i think iβm interesting then iβm reminded by natureβs existence long before i even learned to walk

These Acer palmatum (Japanese maple) are probably over a 100 years old and have beautiful shaped branches. These are a small deciduous tree with deeply 5 to 7-lobed leaves which usually have dramatic autumn colour. They grow best in a moist but well-drained soil in partial shade.

Even if this is an opinion to others itβs factual to me. Nothing to me can replicate that feeling so easily
