A Plant A Day Till Spring – Day 28 – Osteospermum

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

“A Plant a Day till Spring” will highlight one plant a day, starting on the winter solstice (December 21, 2013)… And ending on the vernal equinox (March 20, 2014)… If all goes to plan I will be starting with old Snowdrop photos from 2013… And ending with new photos of Snowdrops in 2014…

Last Summer was the first time I ever attempted to grow Osteospermum… Mine liked full-sun and dry soil… I typically fertilize 3-4 times a year… This plant received no special treatment… It actually bloomed well beyond the first frost right on up until the first freeze… I did notice this plant stresses out easily early on in its life… When the stress level reaches a certain point the plant will stop flowering… It takes a couple of weeks for it to resume flowering…

Yesterdays mission was a complete success… Cuttings taken… Prepared… And planted… As a bonus I found $5 on the sidewalk… I’m getting bored with the “look” of this site… It may be time for a change… Anyway… I’m trying to focus on poetry today… I have started a bunch… But completion seems to elude me…

A lot of people wish they were happy…
Everybody wants to be free…
I often choose to pretend…
I am someone other than me…

Close my eyes and drift away…
… …
