Balcony gardening September 2020 update
Something about green plants make me happy .That’s why I try to take pictures and short videos of these beauties.If you have seen my garden videos before, you will recognize some of these from videos before.
But there something new.I have actually tried to take shots from the outer part of the balcony ,using a selfie stick and my husband ,in that order.
The Ticomas are the yellows and oranges. Bougainvillea is a riot of colors. My Alamunda is the creeper with waxy green leaves. The white star-shaped Tagar or crepe jasmine is the prettiest. The bright red Musanda and the other greens will make you smile.

Memories of the Balcony Garden (Photo Blog)
Once upon a time in September of 2014 I got my first plant.I had three small balconies.It didn’t take me long to fill them up.
I loved looking at my green friends .But in 2014 I didn’t know they would save my life .
Yes in 2020 Corona times thanks to the Dragon’s unfair habits we are still far away from the normal.
Travels and nature walks are still far way off.Its a walk around my balcony that’s keeping me happy and feeling good.
There are many reasons to thank the green plants for.Oxygen and our life is right there at the top.But a close second is their ability to promote wellbeing.Whenever I feel demotivated a walk around the balcony garden,watering plants and staring at them instantly makes me feel better.
