Greg Hills<p>Day 3 of the Damsel's first bloom. Her flower is still healthy, apart from pink sunburn, but its weight has heeled it over. I keep her well watered to brace it, but she is a dainty little thing attempting to hold up a massive load.</p><p>She has also begun work on a new flowerbud! Alas, she is under so much stress that she is now being attacked by aphids. I used the hose this morning to clean them off, but they'll be back.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>australia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/melbourne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>melbourne</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rose" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rose</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/roses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>roses</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bloomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bloomscrolling</span></a></p>
