Finally picked a few more flowers from the garden including this Texas Plume celosia, which has struggled so hard in this soggy weather. It’s a heat loving plant and we just didn’t get consistent dry heat at all. I also only grew one plant from seed because I was sprouting too many things this spring 😅 I’ll attempt again next year.

Just observed something interesting today. ☝️

Around 10AM I saw that the 🟠 #Celosia was half* droopy already. I watered it yesterday so I thought I'd wait a bit before I water it again. It recovered from being super* droopy, so it should still be fine. The 🔴 one was just mildly* droopy.

I didn't water them, but around 1PM I looked again and the 🟠 and 🔴 were both back to being very perky.

🤯!?

I got this bag of potting mix some time ago -- I wanted to plant little sunflowers from seeds but kept procrastinating. 😅

So anyway... 📝 Move the 🟠 #Celosia into a bigger pot and add potting mix.

Now I'm thinking maybe I'll move both 🟠+🔴 into one bigger pot or planter.

🤔❔
To combine or not?
What do you think?

Thanks! 😊 Yup. Lighting, air flow. Same. They've both been in the same spot the past 4 days. Lots of sun. 🌞

First time the 🟠 got droopy, I watered them both. Today, I only watered the 🟠. I skipped watering the 🔴 since it doesn't look thirsty.

The 🟠 is a bit bigger, yes. It had blotches on some leaves actually. I cut off 2 🍃 that looked badly blotched all over. The ones in the photo here 👇 look normal enough so I let them be.

Wow. 😳 In less than an hour, the droopy #Celosia got all perky after watering. 😃👍

The orange one seems much* thirstier than the crimson one. It gets really* droopy. 🤷‍♀️ Been needing to water it every 2 days.

I find the difference in behavior strange since, except for the color of the flowers, they look like the exact same variety. To me, anyway. #clueless #YellowThumbs #plants #EducateMePlease #CityGardening #ApartmentLiving

Don't laugh. 😐🪴

I did it again.

I bought new #plants.
😅!

Everybody meet my new roommates, The #Celosias.

Relax. I haven't killed my #DesertRose, #pothos and #sansevieria. Yet. They're all still alive. 😃👍

Now I must look up how to not kill my new plants. #YellowThumbs #celosia #woolflowers #mfungu #CityGardening #ApartmentLiving

I didn't know that #Coreopsis can be used as cut flowers. I harvested a bunch today. #TIL perennial Coreopsis flower from year 2. Now I know why it didn't flower last year. I kept waiting for flowers to appear one day. :)

#CELOSÍA EN S. ANDRÉS DE #BEDRIÑANA
La arquitectura del Reino de #Asturias solía a proteger los huecos con celosías. De esta bellísima de S. Andrés de Bedriñana (#Villaviciosa) dice D. Lorenzo Arias que “el contenido temático... coincide con las influencias de las corrientes sirio-bizantinas que propiciaron la abundancia de estos contenidos vegetales en la plástica asturiana.”

#CELOSÍA EN EL #MUSEO #ARQUEOLÓGICO xq
La pieza de #Arte #Asturiano de la fotografía se encuentra en el M. Arqueológico de Asturias. De ella escribió M. Ponsoda: “Celosía de S. Salvador de #Valdediós (#Villaviciosa); de piedra arenisca, con decoración calada de motivos geométricos rectangulares y circulares, labrada con cierto descuido...”.
