My Thumb Turned GREEN!!!

Guess what today is...? The day my flower bloomed!! YAY! This is the plant that Richard got for me when I came home from being away with family for three weeks. It is a New Guinea Impatiens and it is beautiful. Now for someone who thought she would never have a green thumb I think I'm doing a pretty good job. :D I'm so excited!! I looked at it earlier today with the sun shining on it and it sparkled. It literally looked like Tinker Bell came and used her magic fairy dust on it. Personally I don't mind the help and I think I can use as much as I can get. Richard said that is because of the water inside the petals that made it sparkle. (I still believe its Tink ;] ) My other plant is just getting ready to bloom and I can't wait. This plant I got for mother's day back home and it is a Dark Red Geranium. It had a bloom when I first got it but died in the travels back to Rexburg from Boise. I also planted a few other plants earlier this week and can't wait until I see little sprouts. Don't worry, I'll let you know as soon as it happens :D What are your favorite plants/flowers? What have you planted or grown this year? Or in the past years what gave you a green thumb? Let me know! And have a wonderful weekend!
