Once again, it’s time to show off what’s blooming in and around my casa. Let’s start with the pretty flowers outside:

Indoors, the Euphorbia milii plants are still blooming like crazy. Here’s Elise:

And Sweetie with more adorable blossoms:

Finally, my Chlorophytum comosum, Sue, keeps on blooming:

Thanks to Carol over at May Dreams Gardens for hosting Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day around the 15thish of each month.

What’s blooming in your gardens?

I’ll be back manana, hope to see you here.

About Me

Hi! My name is Liza. Welcome to my blog and thanks for visiting! I’m a Midwestern gal now living in Arizona, after many years of living in and owning a plant care business in New Mexico.

Plants are living, breathing creatures, and if they’re indoor plants, they are 100% dependent on human care. They cannot water themselves.

Please let me know if you have questions or if you would like help with your plants or garden. You can reach me at lizatheplantlady (at) gmail (dot) com or follow me on Twitter, Lizawheeler7.

All photos are mine unless otherwise noted. All content is also entirely my hard work. If you’d like to use any content or photos, all you have to do is ask. If you take without asking, you are a thief. And thieves suck. So don’t suck. We have a deal? Good.

Wow! Your flowers are beautiful!! I especially like the photo of your pansies, as I am going to be planting some pansies and violas in my front yard flower beds tomorrow :).

Quick question, have you had much experience with rosemary in pots? I need to transfer my small rosemary plant from the ground to a pot, as our front garden bed is overrun with grass and I need to start fresh. My Mum is an absolute green thumb, but has never had luck with rosemary in pots, so that has me very scared!

Danae, thanks for stopping by! I wish I could help you more, but I haven’t ever grown rosemary in a pot before. It shouldn’t be that tough. I wonder if maybe your Mom gave it too much attention. Depending on how big your pot is, rosemary wouldn’t need water every day.

If you do decide to plant the rosemary in a pot, remember that one day it will want more space. But for a temporary fix, it should be fine.

Thanks Liza! I think you might be right about the attention given, probably too much water :). I’ll let her know. And yeah I bought the biggest pot I could, but she’ll go back into the ground later (for the record, her name is Sage the Rosemary, which is quite cruel really).

Danae, in my experience rosemary does fine in pots – just make sure you have a pot with drainage holes and a well-draining potting mix, and don’t water too much!

Liza, oh, you make me miss my garden – I used to have love-in-a-mist self-seeding along one side of the vegetable garden. So pretty, but there’s nowhere left to sqeeze any onto the balcony.

Thanks Ivynettle!! I’ll definitely do that :). And I love your blog! I clicked on the link, and your the first picture I see are beautiful violas and rosemary! (I’m excited because I am going to plant my first pansies and violas for the year tomorrow!!)

Haha, that is an awesome coincidence! And I’d just posted that picture, too!

All of your blooms look great! My most favorite is your spider plant flowers. Speaking of blooming, I have a purple wandering jew plant that i got recently and it has a flower and many buds for more flowers?
