Pretty blooms in March for a flower garden

Pretty blooms. Our transplanted episcia a success (pic left). Easy to grow (even for a beginner). Its glossy leaves growing lush and larger; and it bloomed 3 at once! Quite an eye-catcher at our entrance.




Seedlings from Caratharanthus Rosea (Madagascar Periwinkle), 3 weeks old after germination. Some was transplanted from the ground. It seeds plenty but some will germinate. However the seedlings' growth takes a longer time as compared to the adult's blooms. In the end only few seedlings survived the harsh sunlight heat and torrential rains.

Vinca periwinkle, now 3' tall (pic left). 6 months after transplant. This green net is required to hold the flimsy plant upright during rain. Pic right taken 2 months ago; it could possibly reach 5' tall in another 3 months (coming June).
