I am so excited. These flowers have been alive for a couple of weeks. I discovered the secret to not killing plants within the first 7 days (if you are me anyway) is that I should leave them completely and absolutely alone. The best gift I can give them is my absence. And they are so pretty that I am in no way shape or form offended. These photos were from a couple weeks ago but they are still alive (at least as of Saturday).
For those of you just tuning in, I have sort of a brown shriveled thumb and am always sort of disappointed by my eager if misplaced gardening efforts on our patio each spring. Last year I had a total of like 6 string beans and some woody mint. I decided to go with flowers (since I love them but can't justify buying them for myself to slowly die in a vase on my desk) and that I would just leave them alone. I think as we get towards the drier months of August I will have to intervene with an occassional watering but thus far *knocks on wood* I have living plants
Hooray! For those of you who like photos...Enjoy!
