❓ Q: It's spring, finally! I can't wait to plant my paradise garden. We moved into a nice new house but the yard has nothing but grass. Where do I start?
👉 A: When you start your garden from scratch, you need to plant your trees first. Getting tropical flowering trees now is really important for making your garden strong and beautiful. Trees are like the bones of your garden, giving it shape and shade. If you plant them in spring, they have enough time to grow strong roots before winter. This helps them survive better. Trees also give shade to other plants so they can grow well too. It's like building a house - you need to start with the frame before adding other parts. So, it's a good idea to get those trees now before moving on to shrubs and vines.

Remember to provide regular fertilizing program which is the most important
during season of active growth. The more food your tree gets, the stronger
and faster it grows! For flowering trees, we recommend Sunshine Boosters Megaflor formula.

is one of the most spectacular flowering trees in the USA, and probably
among the top 10 on this planet. In full bloom, it is like a regal elephant
caparisoned in red and yellow brilliance." (Larry M. Schokman, The Kampong,

Q: Is Chinese New Year the same as Vietnamese Tat? I want to buy a Vietnamese Micky Mouse plant and I am wondering if this would be also a lucky plant for the Year of the Dragon?
A: Vietnam, as well as other parts of Asia, is celebrating the Lunar New Year of the Dragon, which falls on February 10. Vietnam and neighboring China share 10 of the zodiac calendar's 12 signs: the rat, tiger, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. The Vietnamese traditional Tet market in Hanoi is covered in hues of red and gold, colors that represent good luck and fortune. One of the most significant plants is the golden-flowered Ochna. But there are several other plants associated with the Lunar New year, as well as Dragon Year.
Green Wooden Dragon has specific favorite plants, including all species of Dragon fruits, Lychee or First Dragon’s Eye (Litchi sinensis), Longan or Second Dragon’s Eye (Euphoria longana), Creeping Philodendrons, and the Golden Rain Tree (Koelreuteria
paniculata).
Golden Rain
Tree (Koelreuteria paniculata). According to ancient Chinese manuscripts,
the Golden Rain Tree (Koelreuteria paniculata) is crucial for Dragons, as it is believed to be
connected to their existence, guarding and complementing each other. Growing these plants is considered auspicious and is
believed to safeguard the Dragon family.
The most celebrated flower in Vietnam, Ochna integerrima, called in Vietnam Hoa Mai or Mai Vang, blooms profusely on the occasion of Tet, the Vietnamese Lunar New Year.
Valentine Sweetheart Hoya:
a must gift for your Valentine
Q: What plant can you recommend for a Valentines
Day present?
A: There is a perfect plant specifically for
Valentine's Day! When it comes to finding the ideal plant for an occasion, it
doesn't get better than this one. The Sweetheart Hoya, also known as Valentine Hoya or Hoya kerrii, is not
only easy to grow but also easy-ship, making it the most user-friendly of all
houseplants. Its popularity has soared in recent years, thanks to its unique
and quirky "heart" shaped leaves that appeal to everyone and bring smiles to
faces. In addition to these charming leaves, the Sweetheart Hoya produces
fragrant, beautiful flowers resembling tiny red stars. These flowers are not only
stunning but also waxy, durable, and long-lasting.
Caring for the Sweetheart Hoya is a breeze, requiring only minimal
attention. It can likely thrive with just one good watering a month - that's how
hardy it is. While this plant prefers a reasonably well-lit room for optimal
growth, it can still fare well in shadier spots, making it a versatile
addition to any home or office. Don't wait till the last moment, get your
Valentine's present now - the best one ever!

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we
take,
but by the moments that take our breath away."
- Maya Angelou -
"...Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they
are not going to be around forever... ...Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe,
because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side... ...Remember to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that
is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a
cent... ...Remember to say "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones,
but most of all - mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when
it comes from deep inside of you... ...Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that
person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and give
time to share the precious thoughts in your mind... ...And always remember, life is not measured by the number of
breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
(A Life message from George Carlin after he lost his wife)
1. Throw out nonessential numbers, including age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay them. 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. 3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's. 4. Enjoy the simple things. 5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. 6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive. 7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies. Your home is your refuge. 8. Cherish your health. If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help. 9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is. 10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
