Bev, just teasing, I know nature has to be tamed and punished to get the desired results. Lynn i do the same with my cactus. They honestly have to feel the thirst, their end near for their blooms to open and seeds ripen. From next month i will stop all water to them until May.

Very interesting. Thank you for the information Masud.

Above, mine. Below, others in the lane.

Next, my guilty bed. Six days without water and you will notice no leaf wilt or drop. Flowers have at last started to open but they won't get any water. Maybe a trim. The containers dry out thats why they are performing better.

Oh Masud, those are all beautiful. And I see your tough love is paying off. I will have to give that method a try.

Masud, what an abundance of Beauty in those 4 pots! And what I can see of the bkgrd, it looks like you have a nice garden space. Are your marigold pots made of terra cotta or other material? I am a big fan of multiple pots of the same model, all being the same size or of varying sizes.

Bev, they are all terracotta. I am going to start a new thread for them. Hope you will enjoy the show.
Regards,
Masud.
