The rains are here and with it an opportunity to beautify the garden
In the garden the architect invites the plant kingdom to collaborate with him. A beautiful garden is a permanent presence of nature. By nature reduced to human proportion and placed at the service of man, it is the most effective refuge against the aggressiveness of the contemporary world."
Luis Barragan
Hello community lovers of gardens, plants and the most beautiful nature that through what is created in it gives us unforgettable moments that remain engraved in our minds as the art of God in nature.
On this occasion I want to share with you a beautiful flowers that are in front of my house and in the garden of my neighbor.
A day ago walking around my house I could see that the plants were very beautiful, they looked fresh and healthy because at this time in my country began the rainy season which is very beneficial for the growth and development of plants.
In my garden we have many medicinal plants which are used very often, and we also have a variety of ornamental plants. Talking with my neighbor that day of my tour of the garden, she referred me to the care and maintenance that should be done to the space to provide an adequate and safe environment to ensure optimal growth and development of plants. She told me that she usually cleans the garden every day, and that during the Lenten season it should be watered at least once a day because the heat is very intense in my region.
One of the peculiarities that caught my attention was when I saw and heard my neighbor talking to the plants, I could not hold my curiosity and asked her why she did that, without hesitation she quickly answered me the following: Plants are living beings like us, they are born, grow, develop, reproduce and finally die. Just as we feel good when they speak to us with love and affection, since this is the perfect bond, so it is with plants, it helps them to grow healthy and strong.
After that warm conversation he showed me the variety of flowers he has in his garden, we will start with a very well known here in my town which is found in almost every garden, it is a climbing plant which we call Gold Cup, whose scientific name (Allamanda cathartica), although it has different names such as jasmine vat, golden trumpet, golden trumpet for its shape that looks like a trumpet or butter flower. Investigating a little the origin of this plant I could find that it comes from Brazil. In my neighbor's garden there are several of this plant but with different colors such as white, purple and light pink. They are very beautiful because of what I told you before that we are in the rainy season.
Another plant in my neighbor's garden that I could not overlook are beautiful white lilies, and this plant reminded me of that famous phrase of Jesus when he said that not even Solomon with all his wealth could dress like one of these. This plant is recognized for its beauty even on the lips of Jesus.
I hope that God helps us on this wonderful path of loving his nature in the care of plants to enjoy a better world.
