This is my prototype for a floating geranium. I put some cuttings in a jar of water until they formed roots, then put them in floating pots in a bucket. If they keep growing, will see if they work as floating pond plants 🌱🌺

Result (?)
Recently took out the seeds in the fridge and saw none germinated yet. Put them in soil. Only one of the seeds that I had planted outside in a pot (during Australian winter) looks like it sprouted... If this is a cherry seedling? 🌱🍒

Brassica oleracea in a flower arrangement. This plant is an ornamental form of kale or cabbage. The "bloom" is actually the leaves of the plant, not a flower 🌱🌺
