Hina Matsuri, Ponyo and Rose Buds

[aimeekitty]

Happy Hina Matsuri (Doll's day or Girl's day) (a day late... but I took this photo yesterday...?)
I have my rement hina set up at home. :) Which gets knocked over at least twice a day.

BELOW: The diamond shaped mochi in the middle is hishi-mochi. Pink for the flowers coming out, green for grass (kusa-mochi flavored with mugwort?) and white is for snow melting. The light green fluffy mochi to the upper right is a shigure (my favorite kind of mochi) and the still-rice-shaped pink mochi wrapped in a leaf to the lower left is sakura mochi... usually only seen in the spring around sakura-blooming time. These are from Fugetsu-Do.


Ponyo's out on DVD this week! I took this photo below while driving to the FOX lot... I thought it kinda looks like Ponyo's friend's house on the hill... you know, plus a couple million dollars.


Also... some of my rose are threatening to bloom. IS THAT OK? Can I leave the buds on...? All of these were planted in January. < /newbie >
I took photos of a few of the buds and flowers,... if you want to see, click the name of the rose. The tiny tiny Reine Des Violettes and Gloire de Dijon each have a small bud on them... as does one of the MYSTERY roses... and even my snowfountain weeping sakura has a tiny little bud on it.
Belle Storey, which was put in as a 5 gallon, is more understandable. There are sizable buds all over it... and of course the rosemary is happy.
This one below is a gallon-sized Sydonie.


I'll leave you with Mini Moni (Morning Musume) Hina Matsuri

such a cute post! Ponyo ponyo time! i like the photo you took of that...

Also, the mochi looks REALLY GOOD ;.; I WANT NOW!

Mini Moni is pretty much the best goddamn idea, ever. Take tiniest members of Morning Musume and throw them in a subsect band. HAHAHA> LOVE IT.

Flowers never hurt anything. Fruiting plants are something altogether different. Those you want to nip the flowers so they put their energy into growth rather than produce.

You're post made my day.

And wow. I love the diamond shaped mochi with the chickies. I've always wondered what Fugetsu-Do always did, so now I know, and I will check it out now. :D Super cool. :D

Mini Moni song was awesome. :D Super cool post. :)

Ah, the roses are coming along nicely! I can't wait to see what color "mystery rose" is. LOL.

BTW, my friend chose Souvenir du Dr. Jamain from the rose gift certificate I got her for Christmas.
