First Bloom: The chili pepper plant



The blooms of chili peppers are beautiful white flowers that is shaped similar to an aniseed star with five petals.  The most prominent feature of the bloom aside from their charming looks are the anther connected to the tip of the filament (aka those little antenna-like things situated in the middle of the flower).  The anther looks very much like the seeds found inside a chili peppers, not a coincidence- I'm sure.



First Bloom: Tomato cherry plant


Here is the first bloom of the Red and Yellow Pear Blend Cherry Tomatoes. The bloom(s) looks a bit odd as if it has two heads :/, consisting of layered, elongated, triangular shaped petals that will unfold slowly layer by layer to eventually open up completely.


First Bloom: The potato plants blossom


The potato plant's first blossom can't be described as anything else but intriguing cute flowers that consists of light pink petals with bright yellow middles.


First Bloom: Bush Bean (Slenderette Variety)


I came outside today and saw a few little nodes forming on my bush bean (slender variety).  The nodes turned into these beautiful little flowers...


The flowering of the bush bean is a sign that beans will be forming shortly, beans that are beautiful slender, tender... and delicious!  Just thought I'd just give you the first look at the first bloom of the bush bean.

Oh, and if you haven't been keeping up the white stuff on the bush bean leaves is baking flour, something I'm trying to keep the hoppers away, more on whether the anti-hopper baking flour method works or not later.
