Passion Flower Vine on Bird Trellis
Today's Joy: Horticultural Housekeeping.
I thoroughly enjoyed my day off, Reader. After spending a leisurely morning sipping cappuccino and getting caught up with online stuff, I got out my trowel and repotted the last of my new plants. The gorgeous double-ruffled apricot hibiscus tree (a gift from Aunt) is in full bloom (see below) and looks very smart in its new pot. And my much talked-about passion flower, which has finally finished blooming, also has new digs. When I went to unwind its vines from the small bamboo trellis, I found they were already long enough to cover the new, larger trellis I planned to use. Now it looks twice the size it did.
I also fussed a bit with my Boot Garden and circled the house to snap shots of everything newly-opened. It still amazes me how much things change week to week and sometimes even day to day. Below, for your enjoyment, dear Reader, are the best of the shots I took today.
