Summer and flowers!

Hi Anne and everyone!
sorry for my late post.I was busy on 3days.^_^
one more week pass and i will have the 2nd final exam on May,22nd.Good luck for me :-)
At first,thank you so much for all the comments and thanks for an interesting question from Ernesto - do you prefer a rainy day or a hot one? I prefer a rainy day, but i like it rains at night.After the rain,the air is pure,the road is clean in the next morning and you will feel very comfortable.I fear the hot day,because Vietnam is a tropical country and in summer,it's so hot.The temperature is always about 38 degrees.I often stay at home,I rarely go out in the hot day.What about you,all my friends???
Secondly,thanks Anne for a weather vocabulary quiz for me,but sadly,i only answer 3 questions ^_^
• An umbrella keeps the rain off you. What is the name of the object, that looks like an umbrella, that keeps sunshine off you?
--> it's SUNSHADE
• Rearrange the letters to form name of the illness you get if you spend too long in the sun. (ROTESHATEK)
--> it's HEATSTROKE
• What are wellies (this is a slang word)?
--> I think it's boot which you use when it rains.

Hi Xuan, I feel renewed after reading your blog in blossom. I love flowers so much. I've written a comment to Anne in the blog about flowers but something happens that only my comments to you appear. I'm sure you'll succed in your test. Take a White lily with you and good luck. I wish you the best!

Hello Xuan, I’m from Argentina and I live in La Plata near Buenos Aires, the capital city. Here in winter the weather used to be rather cold but nowdays it is changing and although the latest winter it snowed, which was a bit strange, medium temperature is increasing, and we have few cold days. On one hand this is good because you can do your things comfortably but on the other hand I am worried about the global warming.

Hi Bichxuan! What a lovely flowers! Have a nice week, Ana Paula.

Hi,Bichxuan! My wife likes so much flower pots that I even have started to like its too although I was indifferent to. Right now in my city every store has been selling a huge variety of gardens’ flowers since the second week of May. It encourage to buy its and obviously to make more flower own home. What’s great flower pots are so marvellous and not expensive that everyone who wanted could allow himself this. It wasn’t a case in my native country Ukraine where those stuff is either expensive or undeveloped as a consequence Ukrainian have less chances to enjoy flower pots at home. And what about Vietnam regarding this matter. Do you grow up flower pots by yourself from seeds or sprouts or do you buy mature ones? Keep writing Bye, Vlad.

Hi, Bichxuan The flowers are very beautiful! Thanks!!! There are not similar ones in Russia. Lilies don't often can be grown in our gardens - it's difficult enough and other flowers are unknown here. About the temperature - +34 is the hottest temperature I had ever saw. The average temp. in summer is about 25 degrees and +/-7 degrees. So we have 1-2 months to swim.

Dear Xuan, First of all I wish you get enough preparation for your next emam, I read your blog about the flower,the flower which is posted by you was very beautiful and fantastic, I like the fresh flower than the plastic or so on Best wish Rahyab

Hello Xuan! You have wonderful flowers in Vietnam. You're right about "rainy night"(especially if you stay at home ;)), the morning after the air is very clear and fresh, I like too. Bye for now.

Hi Xuan, beautiful flowers ! We have all of them here in Brazil. The Phoenix tree is very common here, we have its flower in August. It's nice to know that even far away we can find similar plants. Bye

Hello Xuan Good luck in your exam. In northern Chile, where I live, spring and summer are often very hot, but dry and with sea breeze. So, you can be very comfortable as long as you keep in the shadow, or under a parasol in the beach. Thanks for the pretty pictures of flowers. Bye.

Dear Xuan, Hello !!! Sorry, I set two messages exactly the same. Good week !!! Goodbye Danuza

Hello Xuan, It was really very beautiful pictures that you have posted. I really enjoyed reading your post, regarding rainy day or a hot day. I'm a kind of a person who likes cold days. So I like rainy days. Bye

It's so beautiful flowers.^^
