Girlfriend remarked that my garden look great with blossoming flowers and we talked about relationships. Caring for someone requires patience and efforts. You can't force neither can you demand. Will have to try and see how it goes.
Just like the roses, they were so big, beautiful and fragrant but lasted 3 days. Now only leaves to watch. Meantime efforts to water, fertilize and hoping for newer buds. Hence the need to capture all blossom into memory. Because of this gardening, I started this blog .. diary of blooms. Perhaps a diary of inexperienced gardener.
There are so many gardeners' blogging their beautiful garden all over the world. Pages and sharp pictures to awe you with variety of countless blooms of colours, types and sizes. But I'm not envious - I find them inspiring, they have wonderful stories, ideas & tips.
Girlfriend pointed out could be the 4 seasons that explains the picture perfect, the kind of weather suitable for lush growth. But I reasoned that blooming period naturally best during the warm days, e.i. late spring, summer until early fall yet here we have 365 days of summer.
Well we have a few hours of torrential rains that sometimes leads to floods and soil erosion in some parts of the country.

In a sense, we have a better climate for beautiful gardens so I'm marvel at gardeners who are highly enthusiastic and experimentative. They will innovate ways to keep their plants survive throught frost and harsh climate changes. Girlfriend thinks highly of me that I'll be just like them one day, take one step at a time.
Guiltily, I confessed my laziness primping the garden. I dislike sweating and squatting so much in the sun daily - to walking, at least you'll get the breeze as you move. Stressed in office, so I rather relax and admire the garden at home. I decided half the week toiling in the garden; removing faded blooms or whatever turned brown, weeding, cut tall grass, etc. Too bad there's no such thing as a perpectual living and undying garden.
Gardening, helps me - to kick my ass and move on than to dwell on nonsensical arguments that causes emmotional stress. At this point, Girlfriend 100% AGREE ;-D

Final bloom day before it withered. For now, I'm savouring a perpectual Rose bloom on my blog ;-p
