I am generally a very lazy gardener who limits himself to watering the flowers and leave my fruit trees alone. My dog runs loose in the garden. Recently I put some fertilizer in the garden and wonderful results can be seen.

I was really not looking forward to this weekend. Why? I was supposed to cut the grass in my garden this weekend. My wife has been nagging me day after day to do it.

water plantwhite flower

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it flowering this morning. I don’t know the name of this plant but it needs lots of water. Any body who knows the name of this plant please tell me the name :)

The citrus fruits are from my garden but they just happened to be there because my son went to get some fruits to eat and put it there.
