    Olga your garden is so lovely and so full of colour. I love your torenias as blue is a favourite colour of mine in the garden. Sadly most of my plants are dying back here now so it was really good to see all your piccies. :-D

    Your coleus were wery bright, and I love your lantans. Here, we have to grow all your garden plants as indoor plants, maybe with a short stay outside in summer.

    Wow Olga, it's so colorful in your gardens! I just love that Zinnia closeup...I've never seen a green one!
    My Flamingo feathers are only 6 inches tall! I hope I get to see it bloom this year. Do you suppose I could over winter it inside?

    Thank you all!!
    Netty, how long is winter going to last?
    I think it's ok to over winter it inside your house, that's good enough for the plant to grow a bit taller then you can place it outside by the time winter is over.

    Not long I hope Olga!!! I guess it would have to be indoors from October to at least late April.

    Olga, oh my gracious! You have the most beautiful gardens! Seems that I water constantly but my yard is looking very tired, like the plants just want to go into hiding 'till next year. Seeing your pics really lifted my tired spirits!

    Thank's Juli!
    It's really comforting to have a garden where i can relax....and see a lot of butterflies too where my little girl enjoys chasing :)

    Olga, I don't like being so "dumb" about things - but I honestly don't know. How does your garden do in the wintertime? If it's like the pics all year long, I'm moving there!

    Actually, we don't have winter here, Juli. We only have the summer and rainy season. Summertime is from February to May and rainy season from June til January.

    I haven't even seen a single snow :)
    And I just love trading seeds especially from another country because it excites me to see it bloom not just see it in the internet but actually for real. But am not sure that most of the seeds i got from exchanges will like our climate here esp. those plants who likes a cooler climate. But am still growing them!!! :)
