The two "White Eyes" Fuschia on the left are actually hanging baskets - but I'm sitting them there to soak up the morning sun. I'll then hang them from the shaded, covered part of my balcony for the afternoon/evening.
This routine seems to be working well for them.
In fact, you won't believe this, but when I got them on Mother's Day - just one week ago - they each had about four blooms on them a piece.
Look at them now, after just one week of this routine!
More blooms to grow, but hey - I might be getting the hang of this flower-care/gardening thing after all?
(Totally knocking on wood, as I say that).
And they're so fragrant, in the afternoon and evening - once I move them into the shade - wonderful!
The balcony-rail planter, I just got yesterday, in which I planted "Tattoo-Raspberry" Vinca and white "Snow Princess" Sweet Alyssum, which hopefully will eventually cascade/trail down in front of the in the planter, but I just planted them, so we'll see.
Immediately after I planted them, of course, we had a pop up thunderstorm, which pummeled them and dumped four inches of rain in an hour and made the national weather news channels lol. However, I think they survived - whew!
I wanted to see how they looked in the planter first, but now I'm off to make a second one, so that they eventually will go all along the balcony rail, in the full sun part of the balcony.
Thus, the other post I mentioned will have to wait.
Happy Sunday!
