While I'm very proud of the success I've had with my first gardening attempt, it's time to face the music and admit that not everyone made it. I was forced to run a "Supplemental" draft last week to replace some of the plants that did not survive my rookie season. RIP
A quick moment of silence for the ones that did not make it ... pictures omitted, as the sight was too unfortunate to photograph.
Violets
Osteopermum
Purple pansies (yes, all of them - wilted in the hot sun, yellow ones are still fine though!)
The Replacements
I could not resist filling out the holes that were left by my failed attempts. Hopefully, these new guys will fare better than their predecessors.
Calibrachoa - why mess with success? I figure the coral ones are still doing well, so why not try another color? This purple variety replaced the violets, which did not make it after looking like they got mauled by a bird one day.
Sampaguita - AKA, Arabian Jasmine. We originally got this plant for my in-laws, but we've ended up keeping it around as a replacement for the osteopermum. This flowering plant is popular in the Philippines and supposedly has a very nice smell once it blooms.
Life Support?
Finally, let's keep our fingers crossed for these guys, who may be in a code blue situation. Again, pictures omitted out of respect for the patients' privacy.
Kalanchoe
African Violets
Lobelia hanger
You crack me up! Love it!
