Indoors - one of my tiger #orchids bloomed last night.
Outdoors - 1st #IrisNigricans, #NationalFlower of #Jordan bloomed & more to open this week. One of my Syrian friends gave me a pot of rhizomes 3yrs ago.
More grape soda #irises bloomed too.
Our white #lilac tree is now over 8 feet tall.
I originally #propagated this from a small cutting, taken for free from a construction demolition site, 10 yrs ago.
It smells fabulous 🥰
Side gardens. Our #strawberries patch is bursting with lots of flowers & baby #fruits. I'm patiently waiting for them to mature & ripen up.
We grow strawberries in front & back gardens too. It's one of our fave fruits to eat, so we grow lots of them. We grow new #strawberry#plants to give away & some to sell, from propagating runners.
Mom & I were up at 4am. We both went to bed early & woke up before our ⏰️
We decided to make good use of our early wakeup. We changed our front yard #landscaping. Used lots of large rocks, that Mom collected during our Sooke getaway last fall, to create a rocky mound & moved our large golden garden Buddha atop of it. We added extra #SolarLights around it.
We finished the new rock mound by the crabapple tree. We moved some of our outdoor solar lights around & added a few new ones that Mom found in garage storage. I'm pleased with how things turned out.
