In My Sun Room
The Lofty Norfolk Pine
My favourite trees at the moment must be the three Norfolk Island Pine trees standing tall and majestic at the end of my garden. They appear to be surveying the neighbourhood from their lofty elevation, saying 'Howdy folks, how're you today?'.
This pine can indeed grow even taller, up to a height of eighty feet!
The leaves look soft as they nod and sway in the wind, but they are rough to the touch.
Just look at the textures…perfectly airbrushed by Nature.
- I like your pine trees. They look healthy and straight. The closeup photo shows the beauty of the beautiful pine needles. Most of the similar pine trees I see in my neighbourhood are slanted or croocked. Yours is straight!
- Maybe it is because they are sheltered by the garden wall, Autumn Belle. Yes, I agree that close-ups bring our attention to the beauty that we don’t often notice. Amazing how the camera makes Nature even grander than it is.
Rosie
- Love your ‘Christmas tree’, should be lovely with Christmas decorations!
- Yes they would be great with christmas decorations, but they are too tall for us to attempt that Chandan.
Rosie
- Very pretty plant. Very exotic looking with great texture.
- Hi Donna,
Yes, the texture is unique, different from the other pine trees we are familiar with.
Rosie - Hi!Your pine looks great! I always like to touch those leafs, but yeah they always are much harder than they seem.Thank you very much for joining the carnival! and sorry for the late reply, Hope to see more of your blog

Highlighting Senorita Pink Begonia
What’s on my window-sill? Right now, there is a pink begonia which I propagated from
a stem cutting and is beginning to look oh-so presentable for the camera.
Young begonia, just beginning to learn how to flower.
Getting some attention from an admirer.
The white ducks feeling upstaged by the begonias you think?
Smile for the close up, my dear.

- Hi Helen,
Lovely to see you here. I guess you have to wait for next week then. Wonder what’s the theme…
Please come and have fun on my newly-launched meme. I would be so happy for you to participate. Click on the green ferns on my sidebar to get there.
Cheers,

- I love ducks and birds. I see that you do too. Begonias are a good indoor plant. To have something blooming indoors is so uplifting, especially when it is cold outside like here.
- Hey Donna, glad you turned up today. We are both birds of a fine feather then, so no wonder we flock together. Heh heh.
Donna, I would be so honoured if you participate in my meme. You are the first person to introduce me to a meme, and I have been hooked since then. That’s why I have started one of my own. Please click on the ferns on my sidebar.
Thanks so much,
Rosie
- Funny pictures…it seems like they talk to each other……
Have a nice weekend
- Welcome AnnCharlotte,
I’m so happy to meet so many Swedish bloggers here. Your photography is technically perfect. I would love to get some tips from you.
Rosie
- Your begonia looks very matching with the pink flamingoes and white garden ornaments. I love to look at garden ornaments.
- Hi Autumn Belle,
Glad to have you visit. You like garden ornaments too? Great. I get some of mine from the nurseries in KL.
Rosie
- That’s a very pretty Begonia!
- Hi Katarina,
Yes, and I’m proud of the fact I propagated it from a cutting…me proud mama. Ha ha.
Rosie - Oh, I think I´ll have the same begonia, but my is smaller. I don`t know the name, do you? I bougt a little cutting from a
nurserie, the motherplant was about 2 meters high.
Wish you a nice weekend
Lisa/Lisas trädgård- Hi Lisa, I don’t know the type of begonia it is, although I think it is the tuberous kind. Nice of you to visit. Come again,
Rosie
