A bouquet for a day - 2

Bunga mawarku basah lagi! We had a thunderstorm yesterday. 5 minutes before the pour, I took the pruner and headed out to cut whatever blooms I have in the garden, especially the ones blooming full. TIP 1: These aged blooms won't last. Bring them indoors can extend their lives.

Red roses... red roses...

Ros merah mekar lagi! I am like 10 times a day frequenting the blooms, to sniff, cup and take lots of pictures. With a camera in one hand and a step-stool in the other, I frequent the best spot - outside the gate. The blooms are high, I can't sniff or take closer shots without me standing on a stool. I look like an idiot but the blooms - worth every bit of the effort!

Top heavy? The answer to prune hard or prune light.

I promise to let my decision be known on whether to prune my SN Almost Lover rose hard or prune it light. A week after my earlier post on this, I decided to just leave the tree alone.

Ku tanam pokok bunga, bunga mawar namanya...

It's a kindergarten song but I remember learning it in primary school. I can't recall what year or Standard (Grade) it was. My 5 years-old daughter took fond of Ku Tanam Pokok Bunga when she heard me sang.

Top heavy: Prune hard or prune light?

This chili-red rose is my favorite rose tree. The tree blooms continuously and never ceases blooming no matter how bad my garden is.
