My Winter Garden

 

Here are some pictures of my plants during our winter.

 I planted this flower at the end of March (beginning of Autumn) and it began to bloom in the last week of June (beginning of Winter). I took these pictures on July 4th. These flowers are called "Perpétua", I don't know its name in English.

And here are those from which I took off the seeds to plant in the flower pot above. This flower has a very bright dark pink color and it blooms all year long. We bought these in February and this is how they look in July.

When the flowers dry (you can see one on top that has already started to dry), I cut them and separate the seeds and spread in flower pots, so they will grow. Here are two pots with seeds that I planted this winter. The one on the right was planted at the end of June and the one on the left on July 2nd. The one I planted in June has already started to grow.

 These two pots are the same in the picture above, but this picture was taken almost two months later (in the beginning of September). You can see how the one on the right grew and began to sprout. The pot on the left that was empty has some flowers now.
