Hoya flowers secrete sweet nectar.

 Hoya flowers secrete a sweet, sticky nectar, sometimes so abundant that you may need to wipe down windowsills in the morning. This nectar attracts pollinators such as nocturnal insects and geckos.

Hoya is watered weekly with a solution of mineral fertilizers.

 Hoyas should not be watered with mineral fertilizer solutions weekly. During the active growth period (March to September), it is recommended to fertilize the plant every 2-3 weeks, and in winter, reduce fertilizing to once a month or stop fertilizing altogether. Weekly watering with a fertilizer solution can lead to overdosing and root burn.

English roses. FALL 2025.

 English roses differ from other modern varieties in their flower shape and bush structure. They combine the advantages of old rose varieties (cup-shaped flowers, harmonious bush form, and a variety of floral fragrances) with the disease resistance, variety of colors, and pronounced repeat or continuous blooming characteristic of modern hybrid tea and floribunda roses.

 This group includes varieties with different growth habits. They can be low, medium, or tall, climbing, spreading, dense, or sparse. Moreover, the same varieties can exhibit different characteristics in different climate zones.

Oriental Poppy Pizzicato.

 If it overwinters well in containers (this is my first time trying this), it will be ready for spring.

Oriental Poppy Pizzicato.

 Poppies need to be planted in a permanent location. They have very deep taproots. Digging them up completely is practically impossible. This means that in a year or two, a poppy bush will be back in the old spot. We don't just throw the roots around; somehow, they give life to the poppy bush. So now I have poppies growing in three places: the old spot, the new spot, and where I threw the roots.
