Her flowers always bloom with colour where mine wilt-brown and fade. Her thumb is green, alright. She knows just the right light, angled perfectly by the compass, to allow the buds to bloom beautiful shades of vibrant colours.
I can grow herbs, and sunflowers. Abundance of colours are not my thing, sadly.
Parsley, basil, thyme, cilantro and budding yellow sunflowers give me half a green thumb. To her full green thumb. She’s a wise young Sardinian friend, always willing to help and educate.
I’ve tried and tried again to grow colour, but she isn’t accepting of me. Instead I photograph her beauty in the wild and potted in friends gardens.
Do you have a green thumb?
My Sardinian Life 
I have a green thumb, sometimes. I have grown 2 pineapples on my balcony in Brisbane and my pansies and geraniums do really well here.
You can grow pineapples on your balcony, you have three green thumbs in my book! Wow! Was it you that wrote a post about growing pineapples?
Such brilliant colors! I am afraid I do not have a green thumb or the patience to garden, but absolutely love and enjoy the fruits of others’ labor.
Thank you Marcia. We are in the same boat. 😉
Love these…beautiful.

I’ve got a green thumb. My sister is a plant doctor which is nice! For then I ask her all the questions I can and she loves that I take interest in what she does!
