There is an orchid farm in San Rafael, Bulacan that also has really huge lotuses grown in pots. Very pretty.

Jing, tna…avoid wearing black clothing. Mosquitoes daw are attracted to black colored clothing. …red comes next. White is your best choice …same goes for bees!

am so glad to read this! my eldest daughter has the most sensitive skin. it easily gets irritated and even mosquito bites becomes ugly red blisters sometimes. I noticed too that mosquitos seem to hover over my kids more than their cousins when they are together. not good daw always use OFF lotion so i should have these plants around. maghahanap talaga ako nito. thanks for the info betty q!!!

Not an imposition at all, tna! Just let me know…MM, can I impose on you to send her my e-mail address please?

Oh, if you want any more seeds, tna, that you would like to plant, let me know as well.

Wow, BettyQ, bless your generous heart but I don’t want to impose. Let me check first if they have it here – I live in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, Philippines.

I am not sure if Gardenia and Camelia are cousins, Natie! But I think Rosal is a Gardenia. And yes, the scent, oh my!!! Isn’t it a perfume or cologne, too?

Oh, yes, good luck, tna! I hope you find what you are looking for. Where are you? I think they sell geranium seeds. I know there are marigold seeds. I can send you mine….I have TONS!!! I will look it up on my seed catalogue (scented geranium) and I can send you some if they have it! Once it is thriving….so easy to propagate. In no time, you will have baby scented geraniums you can give away!

I love lotuses! This photo is certainly a very welcome thing to see first thing in the morning! Do you know of a place in Manila where they are always sold?—for someone who has to go to Manila to buy herbs and other plants not sold in this province. Thanks, MM, as always!

BettyQ: Sorry for not mentioning it earlier, I have a very small garden space hence am limited to small plants to medium sized shrubs. Will look for marigolds, and maybe the geraniums…wish me luck and thanks for the help!
