To New Life >Happy Bday Dot!


A seedling ? What a luck ! We dug a little hole for seedling to germinate in the same pot - we hope it'll grow like its attractive parents.

Madagascar Periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus); cultivars in this pic are 'Pacifica Red' and 'Grape Cooler'

May be invasive, drought-tolerant; suitable for xeriscaping. Water regularly (do not overwater!). Self-sows freely (deadhead if you do not want volunteer seedlings next season) and it is suitable for growing in containers. *xeriscaping - landscaping in ways that do not require supplemental irrigation

Day 3 (2nd liquid fertilizing) - since the day we spotted red-tinge leaves, many new buds are emerging ! Can't to capture its first bloom.

At a glance, the mini-rose plant is quite a sight in our garden highlighted by its leaves tinged-red.
