"yes yerpeq nman artahaytutyun chem ani" - I think this is what it means "Azat, what time is it" :)

 

"yes yerpeq nman artahaytutyun chem ani" - "I would never make a similar statement"

Thanks a lot, now that's how you learn. :smartass:

 

Azat, thank you too...

 

Yeah I was reaching there with my original sentence and of course "english" type thoughts aren't going to be expressed exactly the same hayarenov, but that's why I'm here.

Now now - let's not get into that kind of argument! :no:

 

That would be kind of like judging which Hye-Forumer is the 'most' Armenian... I don't think we want to encourage that behaviour - despite how nationalistic some of us wish to be ;) :P

I bought 2 lavender plants today B)

Impressive no?

Considering I can kill fake plants,good luck on these two making it <_<

Some people,like my mom,have the greenest thumbs,they can grow anything...we even have a cousin who can grapht(sp?) trees and plants like you wouldn't believe,very impressive.And then there's people like me :rolleyes:

I forget to water them for weeks and assume they will survive.

 

Armat those flowers are beautiful!

Tell us the truth,does your wife take care of those or you? :P

Let us know how they turn out...if you come across something excotic like those which will be content in dry desert heat,let me know.I MEAN REAL HOT DESERT HEAT,over 100 degress for several weeks,ah forget it I'll buy a fake plant :rolleyes:

I came upon this by accident.Armenian wild flower grown in Milan,US and shipped everywhere.

"Best for forgotten or hard to reach areas in the garden because established plants are drought resistant and almost indestructible"

Almost true for our people as well!I like that indestructible! Marraaaal you should plant this in your garden and proudly tell your friends that indeed it is a wild Armenian flower. ;)

This is a really nice flower. Are you growing yourself Armat?

No not that Lily since the season is over for planting utill fall when I can buy many bulbs for cheap.I love Lilies and Irises a lot.There are many gorgeous unique Irises grow wild in Armenia which attracts Japanese tourists for batonical field trips.

Armenia should really promote this concept even more.

 

Japanese Fans

 

 

Armenia’s flora is so diverse and rich it seems all you would have to do is add a cactus or two, a few palms and a rain forest, and your would pretty much complete the world’s diversity of plant life. Armenia has over 3,500 species of plants, more than half of the 6,000 that can be found in the entire Transcaucasus region. While Europe has around 20,000 species, with a total land mass of just under 30,000 sq. kilometers (about the size of Belgium), Armenia’s diversity and close proximity of so many different types of flora is often breath-taking.

 

 

And Armenian flora have their fans outside of Armenia, too. For several years running, Japanese botanical tourists have been making an annual trek to Armenia, to sample rare and endangered flora species found only in Armenia.

 

 

Japanese visitors come in May, when flora are still abundant in valleys, and beginning to bloom in upper elevations. Internationally renowned botanist Professor Nora Gabrielian, member of the Academy of Sciences, serves as a host for these "Flower Watching" visits. She explains that the attraction to Armenia’s flora by Japanese is not as exotic as it first sounds. In Japan, where the art of flower arranging ("Ikebana") has become something of a national obsession, beautiful and rare flora are highly prized. Unique species of Iris, ranunculus, colchicum, fritillaria, gladioli, tulips, hyacinths, orchids, crocus, punica, tournefortia, calendula, and vincas are but a few of the thousands that draw annual pilgrimages of Japanese tourists in the Spring.

Thanx for the info on the Armenian Basket flower!I'm ordering some :)

 

And I bought those poor doomed lavendar plants....they won't make it I'm sure,no unless my mother takes pity on them,as she has to many of my plants,and saves their lives :lol:

We have over 16 rose bushes!And about a dozen fruit trees..and of course a lot of other things...maybe I'll take a pic and post it here.

Well I did buy 2 of the most beautiful,lilac clay pots,which are frostproof,to plant them in,the pots will survive for sure :)

 

Take pics of your garden every once in a while and show us how it progresses.

No I didn't order any right this second..but I will when they are available ;)

 

My mom would strangle me for this...but she doens't have 16 rose bushes she has over 160! That was the count before my father passed away,and more has been added since...dont' tell her I said 16 :rolleyes:

These roses love the weather here in the dessert and they thrive in this soil!
