Today on my way home from work I stopped at a garden centre to purchase a large pot for the
Cinco de Mayo rose that needs repotting. The clerk that served me turned out to be a
Buddhist, a former
Christian. We had a short talk on plants and the interconnectedness of
life. Its interesting the people we encounter in our daily lives, just living and going about our business! I too have a
Christian background (
Catholic) but we found our interests and views very similar. How we enrich our lives by engaging in discussions with others of like mind. We never really know unless we take the time to connect!
With that, have a good night, guys! I'm off to bed. - V
The plants I bought over the last couple of weeks are ready for planting. I have the pots and most of the potting soil required. I am purchasing a hand drill from Lee Valley over the next day or so and will be able to complete the potting by Canada Day. The Cinco de Mayo floribunda rose has to be one of my favourites (see photo above and below). The flowers are pink with yellow centres and have an apple scent. The plant will grow up to three feet tall and as wide.
There are other plants as well, such as rosemary, spanish lavender, blue salvia, a couple of mini-roses, pink wave petunias and a couple of lobelias. More photos coming when everything is ready! Have an awesome day, guys!!! - V
Shrub roses line the walking path on either side at Sapperton Landing. The Fraser River and the Coast Mountains are in the background. - Volker
