20/Aug/2016Can you help me identify the plant on the 1st row? Grandpa’s sister gave it to me, she said that her granddaughter brought some seeds from Italy, but not speaking much Italian, she only understood that were edible or used in cooking somehow.I returned home yesterday, and most of my plants were dry, despite having the jellyfied water the high temperatures of the city were too much for them. I feel pity for them.I’m glad that I took the adenium and the lemon/mandarin tree with me, I really like them and it would be so sad to lose them too. But while I was away, I got some new plants from friends.Grandpa’s sister introduced me to a herbalist that lives near her place, he has a nice garden with lots of trees, herbs and vegetables, and told me about some remedies that he use to prepare for a friend who has a shop. He gave me lemon balm both fresh for drying and potted to keep at home, lavender and thyme. He had many kinds of these plants, so I’m not sure which variety I have at home. Dad bought me a ficus bonsai, I found it very cute, small and chubby. The garden was full of seeds, I picked seeds from lunaria, poppy and linden. Looking around the peony I found a bulb, I wish it’s from the peony since it had impressive flowers in Spring and I’d like to have a plant like it. But grandpa had also narcissus and tulips, so it could be one of those. I found it on the soil, it wasn’t dug at all, I was lucky! There were four kinds of succulents so I picked some of their leaves to reproduce them. I also picked some cuttings of the linden and apple tree, the peony and a rose bush, if they develope some roots as the coleus did, next time I’ll pick more from the other fruit trees he has, pear, fig, red apples, plum and cherry trees.I have some flower seeds to plant in early September, I’m eager to have some sprouts growing again.  -- source link
