Monthly Garden Bouquet

I visit Noelle from Ramblings from a Desert Garden... regularly as I always enjoy reading what she has to share. I don't do flower arrangements nor bouquets. However, regulars visits to her website has inspired me to take some initiative and get out of my comfort zone.

Since I feel shy about my own arrangement, I have decided to add some blurry effects as you can see above.

Oh...what the heck! Laugh if you want to.
I used chillies to cover up the sponge. I have loads of chillies.

Hmm...it looks to me that some green should be added between the flower and the chillies...

Does the red Zinnia flowers look better back here where it belong?

How would you rate the bouquet from minus 1 to minus 10?

You can keep the rating to yourself. :)
Will try to do a better job next time.

Growing Zinnias

A few weeks ago, a little boy handed me some Zinnia seeds. I asked him what colour I should expect from those seeds. He answered RED. I happily threw the RED Zinnia flower seeds around my cherry tomato plant imagining a dramatic effect of RED blooming Zinnias and ripe, RED cherry tomatoes. 

The first bloom was beautiful!

I got kind of impatient, waiting to admire a bed of striking Red Zinnias.

Wow! I had not quite expect to see that many shades of RED. I am not complaining. Red or not, I think they are all beautiful.

Zinnias are very easy to grow. All I did was sprinkled the seeds on the ground and water them once a day.
