A Flower From Leo

A tiny little flower from Leo Diaz, he is Joshua's best friend ( my son ).

L : " Riena, I picked this Lilac flower up of the street when I walked to Ross'car. It's for you "

R : " Ohhh so sweet, thanks Leo. I love it so much. "

Even the small simple thing really can make our day :)

My Flowering Freesia

Monday, August 03, 2015

Strong wind is hitting Wellington. Make sure your outdoor furniture and bins aren't going to go visit someone else's property nearby. Keep save when you are driving. Keep warm and snuggle up.

I put my container plants away from the garden last night as strong gust can push them or destroy their flowers. This morning I noticed my Freesia starts blooming. Just one flower, though.
Oh so pretty and potten fragrance. It is the double Freesia with white or cream colour, it might be the Fantasia Freesia ( actually what I bought from the garden centre was Stockholm Freesia - the single Freesia ). Never mind !!! The double white Freesia will do :)

The Freesia usually start flowering in Spring but mine start flowering in the last month of Winter.         Is it too early? Maybe ..... :)

Stockholm Freesia

The first bulb that I bought from the Twigland Garden Centre was The Freesia Bulb.
From the picture on the packaging, you can choose which Freesia you like.
I chose the red one, the Stockholm Freesia with the softly scented.

Plant in Autumn from February to May is best.
Depth 5 - 6 cm
Space Apart 8 - 10 cm
Full Sun in well drained soil
Height 40 - 60 cm
Flowering in Spring.

When the flowering is nearly finish, leave the foliage on until it has browned off and can be easily removed by pulling gently.

 Around two months and half after the Freesia bulb planted.
