The Garden Project! Part 5

Why do I have these posts in parts?

Well anyway, FINALLY!!!! a sign that something’s going on with these plants other than the sunflower. And in more areas than one.

First of the rose propagation. Now I’ve never tried this before, I’ve always heard stories that it is extremely difficult when it comes to roses. Though the rose tree that I have is not what I’d like to say ‘high breed’ [the flowers are not large with defined petals] it did take me a while to get a cutting to actually grow roots successfully.

Well guess what, yesterday, I SAW ROOTS. And a lot of it too. I remember standing there for a while in awe. Then I transferred that one cutting to a larger pot. YEAH!!!!

Roots

More Roots

Rose cutting with roots in new pot

I have to say I was extremely excited to see that. There is another cutting, that does not have as much roots as this one, so I am hoping soon they will just pop out.

Secondly, remember the newly discovered Cypress Vines? Well Houston, we have flowers. Well just one flower, but I figured from now, the others are just going to pop out. Again yesterday I noticed red, and was extremely excited. Well stepping out today, it opened. Finally signs that it really is the vine I have been waiting for.

First REAL sign of flower

From a different, more intimate angle

I gotta say I am really happy right now. I have yet to see the morning glory show signs of flowers. It’s just been getting longer, but at this point I am not really eager.

I still haven’t had time to find material for the vines to grow on yet, and I am a but upset with myself for that but hey….we got a flower.
