A Gardening Itch

Mar 1 (Sun) - Deep red roses, courtesy of Choon - transplanted into a terracotta pot (replaced Ajuga). Here, its 1st bloom in Palma, withstood a torrential rain the night before. This view reminds me of a chinese painting.




The first red bloom: Day-2 (up) and Day-3 (bottom).

Catharanthus roseas (apricot delight - white & red circle center) also survived the long heavy rain. Notice some petals were sliced off. No browning from over-watering. It seem to sprung alive throughout the heat of the next day.

Took stem cuttings to propagate. Transplanted its seedlings (from Ajuga's pot, now Choon's roses). Let's see which (cuttings or seedlings) will do well.
