Garden Finds
Quite ashamed. I think it’s been more than a year since I posted here but you can always visit my main blog DREAMS AND ESCAPES (arlene1956.wordpress.com).
I am presently enamoured with white flowers. Aside from those I have posted here earlier, I was able to find more blooms yesterday. Here are some plants I haven’t posted here yet.










My pink Ruellia. Used it to greet the new month.
There are actually plenty more. Will upload them some other time.

About arlene
It's been some years since I started this blog. Supposedly, it was only to share my plight as a cancer patient and survivor but over the years it has somehow evolved into something personal about my life and my family. So really glad to have met you all wonderful people out there. Someone commented once that he liked the title of this blog, Dreams and Escapes. Dream on, there are more things in life than we really think. Be happy, you only live once. Sometimes you also need an escape from the vicissitudes of life and this blog helps me cope. Welcome. Feel free to leave your comments, I do welcome them.20 responses to “Garden Finds”

Proud Nonna
Oh my! So proud of this little guy (not so little anymore), he is now almost as tall as I am. Nissa just forwarded a copy of Nate’s grades for their third grading period. Everything went up despite that most of the time he is unsupervised because Obet and Nissa are now reporting for work […]
Nate At The Garden.
They came here yesterday to celebrate New Year with us. After lunch, Nate said, “can we go out at the garden Nonna?” I asked him why and he added, “I want to pick kalamansi”. That’s Philippine lime. I told him they are still so small so I showed our two jackfruits. “Can we play instead?” […]
More Shots
Here are more photos of Nate’ birthday. They spent it in Subic in Zambales. It was a joint celebration of their 10th anniversary and Nate’s 9th birthday.
Nate’s 9th Birthday
Yes, it was his 9th birthday yesterday but they celebrated early last Sunday because of his online classes. We had a video chat for a while yesterday then I sent him an audio greeting. Here are some of his birthday photos: Time flies! Was it only yeterday that I made my first letter to you! […]
Birthday Gift🌹⭐🎂
So this was Nate’s birthday gift to Nissa, an art project which he did yesterday. I love it. We could create an artist yet in him.
So Precious
I took a lot of pictures of Nate when he and Obet were here last March while Nissa was in the hospital.

What A Surprise!
I can’t believe I haven’t touched and visited this blog like forever (an exaggeration of course) but I was so focused on updating my main blog so I forgot about this. Early this morning while I was watering the plants, I looked up at our jackfruit trees and saw this. I was hoping I could […]

Lato, Anyone?
Gosh, I can’t believe it’s been almost a year now since I posted something here. I am always updated with my main blog though, a link of which is attached here. Sharing this photo I took yesterday, we locally call it Lato salad, a appetizer. I love seaweeds and I buy them once in a […]
He Is A Big Boy Now
Nonna’s joy. I think this is the second time I posted a picture of my grandson here. He is turning six this coming November. Time flies. Happy Grandparents’ Day to all proud grandparents like I am.
Something To Think About
Gosh. I haven’t updated this site for so long concentrating instead on my main blog Dreams and Escapes. I hope I would be able to post more in the coming days.
My Garden Blooms
This is just my 89th post after three years of blogging. But I have always been updated with my main blog. You can find the link here on the right corner of the blog. I’ve recently took shots of our garden blooms. Summer is here and more blooms could be seen. […]
Something To Think About
I have a whole album of quotes that I made into memes. Some are passages from the Bible, some are words from famous people. This is one of them. Gosh, it took me so long to update this blog but I regularly post in my main blog, Dreams and Escapes. Good morning everyone 🙂
When The Sea Speaks
I want first of all, to be at peace with myself. I want a singleness of eye, a purity of intention, a central core to my life that will enable me to carry out….obligations and activities as well as I can. I want in fact – to borrow from the language of the Saints – […]

Yeah… I’m here Arlene, your flowers look fabulous …
Thanks Ivor🏵🌹💐
Very nice, Arlene. I like the small ‘button flowers’ a lot.
Best wishes, Pete.
I love them too. Thanks Pete🌱🪴🌿
It’s a bit hard to have a garden here in the US with four seasons, and as you very well know, nothing grows during winter season. I always feel envious of beautiful gardens with flowers all throughout the year.
My brother brings their potted plants inside the during winter.
Some can be brought in during winter, like bounganville… some perrenials thrive, as long as they are not fully exposed to cold and frost. One thing for sure, there are no flowers…. some will look like they are dead, but when spring comes, you will see teeny weenee bits of leaves sprouting from what looks like dead twigs, lol.
Spring must be so lovely with all those blooms.
Yes, all those daffodils, irises, tulips, etc. in our garden… alas, they’re short- lived. Most of these flowering plants bloom only once , then wither and die.
They are annuals. I wish I could plant those here.
Annuals are extremely coloful. I have hundreds of tulip bulbs planted ( usually in Fall ) then they all sprout and bloom in spring, then die off after a few weeks, all of them, ha ha ha.
Yes, they are. Must bought two pots of Aster and I am reading how to propagate it.
lovely blooms, Arlene! the scented kamuning look divine. never seen white buttons before. they’re pretty. 🙂
Thanks a lot Wilma 🙂
Beautiful garden Arlene. May ‘green thumb’ ka pala!
Haha, one of my hobbies, gardening. Thanks Techie.
Mahilig din ako pero ang gardening walang hilig sa akin haha
Haha, pero ang gaganda ng pino-post mo.
Thanks. I have a bit sa own backyard ko pero sturdy plants lang. No need of maintenance
I love perennial plants because they bloom every year.
