i was really glad when i woke up this morning.
there was cool breeze in the air with little rain showers but i can tell it will definitely be a sunny day (i hope) with the sun's rays peeking behind the clouds after days of rain-little sun-rain-little sun-rain.
i stepped out of the house into the garden and saw these beauties
my passion flower vineraindrops this morning
kissing this pink rose
okra flower
bleeding heart vine flowers dangling
yellow bloom basking in the morning sun
crape myrtle greeting me with all smiles
blue daze enjoying the weather
fragrant gardenia
violet petunia saying hello to sunshine
the roses really missed the sun.
after strolling for a while, i excitedly went back inside the house, grabbed my seed packets and planned on which seeds i will grow.
so many options so little time.
i'm going to take advantage of this little bit of sunshine before it rains again.
i decided to plant zinnias, cosmos, daisies, calendula, impatiens, and pansies.
i haven't tried growing impatiens and pansies before, i hope they will germinate.
i followed some tips here which i found very useful.
four trays in two baskets :)
HAPPY gardening indeed!

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I love your photo of the okra flower. What do you cook with okra?
thanks..i appreciate it.
we usually put okra in "pinakbet" a dish with shrimp/fish paste and pork.
here's a link of the recipe

thanks sunray! that's so sweet of you. thanks for visiting and following my blog.
I don't understand how okra can have such beautiful flowers when I, ahem, somewhat dislike the fruit ;)
Some lovely shots. Thanks for putting them up. Thanks also for visiting my blog. Even though you garden in a very different climate to mine there are still plants we have in common.
thanks for stopping by john! :)
you have such a beautiful garden.

@ patricia...i don't eat okra too but their flowers are so beautiful. some people love eating okra, i don't get it. it's so slushy.hehehe!
You must be tired of the rain, but it looks like your flowers have loved it! They are all beautiful, even though they're wet! Isn't gardening exciting!
