New kitchen flower! Anthuriums love bright indirect light and moderate watering. The glossy leaves look pristine — this one is thriving. Will keep an eye on it for future blooms.
Update photo — no new plants added. All four plants looking healthy and well-hydrated. Orange begonia still vibrant, pink impatiens blooming nicely, red impatiens holding strong. Soil appears moist from recent watering.
The only flower in the bathroom! Peace lilies thrive in humid environments, so this spot should suit it well. Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.
Lovely addition! The lavender is flowering beautifully and should attract pollinators. Keep an eye on watering — these like it on the drier side once established.
Nice mix of flowering and structural plants. Chrysanthemums could use some deadheading and consistent moisture. Photinia and Rhododendron look healthy. ## How to use this diary - Send photos + notes whenever you want an entry added - I'll log date, observations, plant health, tasks done, weather notes, etc. - Future sections can include: Plant inventory, watering schedule, pest tracking, harvest logs, etc. Ready when you are! 🦇🌿
Nice vibrant display! The mix of red and softer pink/peach colors looks great together. Some lower leaves showing stress (possibly from heat or transplanting).
Hydrangea added to the collection today. Beautiful color range on the blooms. Veronica plants also planted today — good match for the begonias.
This photo is from last year's garden for reference/comparison. Logged alongside today's plantings.
