Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

{LOOK what's blooming now...}

In the dreary time of winter it is sometimes a miracle how certain plants can surprise us 'unexpectedly' and even outside of their usual blooming season. Maybe it is because of the long hot and dry summer that they wanted desperately to make up for it NOW?... Whatever the reason, inside the greenhouse our salmon red Pelargonium geraniums are blooming at their best. So I like to share them with you here.
Capturing their beauty in the sunshine, showing all stages of budding and full bloom.
Look at this perfection! We received them years back from our dear friends Heinz & Maria for Pieter's birthday in April.
From Lady Chef Maria from 'Ristorante da Maria' and their B & B. Link about a post I did on it, you find below under Agriturismo & Geraniums - Pelargonium.
Those buds do resemble a rosebud that's why I used this silver rose vase.
Hope you enjoyed our pelargoniums!

  10. Liebe Mariette,

    deine zauberhafte Geranienblüte tut bei dem trostlosen, stürmischen Regenwetter mit Orkanböen der Seele besonders gut. Danke für diesen zauberhaften Anblick. Ein Stückchen Sonne und Sommer ist zurückgekehrt.

    Liebe Grüße von Elvira
