Thank you Milka

I received a very lovely Christmas gifts from Milka the author of milka's jishiben blog. I really like it and appreciate the gifts so much. I received a pretty gardening apron and a cute Christmas card.

Very sweet words. Even though Milka and I have never met with each other and we knew each other from bloggingland only a few months, we are fast to become very good friend.

Milka gave me my first garden decoration for my Adelaide garden. I really like what it says, make me fantasies about my self-sown Zinnias, portulacas, violas, gaillardia and marigold in our summer garden  now:).

Last year end of November, I bought my first ever rose plant from the Sunday market.  This is the first bloom, looks like red but wait.....

A baby rose bloom.

Full bloom and the colour is similar with the rose garden decoration gift that Milka gave me. I think Milka has a natural instinct to find and select pretty garden decorations. She really has talent for decorating indoors and outdoors. I always enjoy reading her post. I dedicated my first rose blooms to Milka, if it possible I would have presented her my rose.

Milka has inspire me to decorate my garden a little bit. I have only white cabbage butterfly in my garden and when I read other blogger beautiful butterfly post such as from Onenezz or Rainfield61, somehow I yearn for those colourful butterfly as well (but not their eggs). So I found this big butterfly to compliment the size of sunflower and Milka rose.

Since I started blogging, I had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people who inspire me to continue and try many new things in the garden, kitchen or other stuff as well. I learn a lot from reading other blogger post and I appreciated your comments and advice. Thank you so much for the friendship as well. I hope the beginning of 2011 has gone off wonderfully for everyone.
