Not everything that one has in one’s garden is bought. Our garden has many that we have bought, some have been gifts, some bartered and some flicked. Have you not flicked some dead flower from parks and gardens, dry flowers having seeds that would be sown in your own garden? Such is the life of a gardener, a happy one at that. So many play a role in developing the garden.
Each time I stroll in my garden memories flash back of those who gifted me or who bartered a plant or two.
The one that you see in the image was given to us by our gardener. It is called Gingere lily. This Gardener was mute and I used to use sign language to converse with him. I would say he was the most ‘talkative’ He worked for us for ten years. He is gone now as he has shifted

I have no memory of the garden, dear friend …. I have a garden every year and every year is a story to itself
OK That is one way of looking at it.
I have probably bought about 10 of my plants. The others were seeds that I had found. Some I found in the dead section out back of nurseries, others have been gifts. I do remember them all when I go out. That is the best part don’t you think? 🙂
Dignity flies out I do not know where when I see dead flowers in parks and gardens which I flick
Gardening as I have said in my post is total involvement.
lol, Dignity. Yes it does doesn’t it. I know I probably looked like a homeless person outback digging through the trash.
(lol) I have done that too. Digging through trash and then producing gold.
That is a such a lovely gift. My first memories of gardening is with my father who bought me toy gardening implements.
Gardening is such an activity that involves so many people resulting in some sad and some happy memories. It is an ongoing process. If I attempt I can sure write a book I am sure
That shows your interest in gardening showed even while you were little.
Beautiful plant , I wish i could have this plant in my home.
I am sure you can find it at any of your nurseries.
I love gardening and my memories are the harvests that we had from our fruit trees and vegetables.
You must be also interacting with others sharing.
Almost all plants in my garden are not bought, but gifted by my mom or neighbors. I am grateful for having some neighbors who are interested in gardening, and we always share the seeds or plants we have with each other. I learned how to take care of a plant or garden from these neighbors as well. 🙂
Good to see you Don’t see you these days.
Gardening does keep neighbours, friends and family together.
