Growing tropical flowers, orchids, bulbs, vines, fragrants, Indian natives, trying water gardening, old garden roses, and some zone denial...And Jasmines, oh my... Jasmines!!!
For a mind at peace and heart not to harden,Throw the doors wide open..To stumble upon a beautiful garden.....
I thank numerous gardeners and all the advice I received through the years.. Many helpers and experts whose knowledge was given without reservation when asked. Since I am not an expert in any one sub variety of plants, one can consider me as a general practitioner!! I have always benefited from experts growing epiphytes, geophytes, water dwellers, tropicals and so on.. The list is endless, and their advice priceless!! There are always as many failures as there are successes and as many disappointments as there are triumphs..And so is every journey. Namaste...
