Today we are with Gerlinda behind the house. This is her place where she works with the flowers and plants. That means mixing potting soil, preparing and planting it. This is also where the cuttings from the mother plants are grown for propagation.
Today we are in Gerlinda’s flower garden in front of the house and organising new plants.
01) This is the side at the new entrance where it goes down to the garden and the former pigsties. There is still plenty of room there to expand the flower garden.
02) A simple flower on one of the shrubs.
03) One of the many colourful leafy plants, which come in many different patterns and colour combinations.
04) Gerlinda looking for new flowers, plants and cuttings by the roadside, where other people look for their firewood.
05) Gerlinda with her day’s haul on the way home on the mountain road near us in Malasag.
Gerlinda is busy in her flower and plant garden everyday now
01) This is the place where she keeps most of her mother plants, behind the house.
02) Gerlinda is very proud of her giant Caladium with three leaves for now. It has grown just from roots, first one stem with the biggest leaf and then two more till now. The plant is growing at the entrance.
03) Our Kalachuchi trees, which will be trimmed as bonsai plants, from seeds. They are producing their 3rd leaf now.
04) Our baby Bird’s Nest fern or Asplenium nidus is growing and we hope it will also be a giant.
05) Our only cattail plant or Phlegmariurus spuarrosus plant producing a couple of offshoots to have one day a whole bunch for a few meters of living green curtain.
