🌸 Five steps to everblooming Rose Hydrangea



🌸 Dombeya seminole - Tropical Rose Hydrangea: everyone who sees this plant falls in love at first sight. Exceptional rose-pink flower clusters cover the shrub, and butterflies and bees go wild over it. While it is considered a winter bloomer, here at Top Tropicals garden we regularly see it flower multiple times a year, with peak bloom from November through January and surprise blooms the rest of the year.

🌸 Here is how to keep your Dombeya seminole happy and blooming more:

💋 1. Full sun


The more sun it gets, the more flowers it produces. Sun equals bloom power.

💋 2. Adequate water


Dombeyas are heavy drinkers. Regular watering fuels fast growth and heavier flowering.

💋 3. Feed for flowers


Use Sunshine Megaflor bloom booster with regular watering, or apply Green Magic controlled-release fertilizer every 6 months.

💋 4. Trim after flowering


Prune once blooms fade. A bushier plant means more flowering points next season.

💋 5. Give it space


This is a round, airy shrub. Allow at least 6 x 6 ft for good air circulation and even light exposure.

🌸 Quick facts you will appreciate:
💋Often called Tropical Hydrangea because of its hydrangea-like flower clusters
💋Blooms fall through spring, often all winter
💋Reaches about 6-7 ft tall and wide, but can be kept smaller with pruning
💋Thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates poor soil
💋An excellent nectar source for butterflies

If you want a beautiful color that refuses to quit, this shrub earns its spotlight.

Real Footage of a Turtle Laying Eggs

Turtle Laying Eggs

🐢 Real Footage of a Turtle Laying Eggs

She didn’t know she was being filmed!

***
Who was sitting on the bench,
Who was staring down the street -
It was evening time, you know,
Nothing much for us to do.

Then we noticed something strange:
There’s a turtle in our range!
In the dandelions she sits,
Looking serious, not a bit.

With her paws scraped the sand,
Spotted shell, so wide and grand,
In a secret little nook
Hid her treasure, no one looked!

That’s some news - the finest class!
That is one!
Laid her eggs at early dawn -
That is two!
And third thing, the mother dear
Covered them with sand right here.

Soon the babies will appear -
Watch, but don’t rush, keep it clear!
We then covered them with leaves,
So they’d rest in quiet peace.

There!

Well, we’ve got something cool at home!
What about you?
And we’ve got treasure in our yard!
What about you?

👽 Contact confirmed at 6:07 am 😎

No one noticed when Pelmen arrived from Planet Nibiru.
He blended in well - quiet, observant, classic undercover.
But every mission has a weak moment.
At exactly 6:07 in the morning, while conducting what appeared to be a routine sleep next to human operation, Pelmen’s true form slipped.
The paw extended. Long. Alien. Unmistakable.
Direct contact established.
The human remained asleep, unaware that critical data was being transmitted - thoughts, dreams, possibly snack preferences.
Pelmen held position. Calm. Focused. Professional.
Mission status: ongoing.

This rose is an extra

🌹This rose is an extra

"Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its colour are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers". - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes saying from The Naval Treaty
