A gorgeous lilac colored rose with sweet smelling apple fragrance - Le Petit Prince...that is. This is the rose I bought on the whim - but so glad I did. Earlier in 2021, I continued to add different colors of roses to my garden here in Houston, Texas. I was looking into lilac/lavender/purple rose and Le Petit Prince popped up among all other options. Honestly, I wasn't that interested due to its low petal counts. Also there was not many reviews about it. I think I only came across 2 reviews on Houzz.

Le Petit Prince - Spring bloooms April 2022



One day, I saw this rose at Kroger grocery store and it was the only one among red roses. There was no flower on it yet but many buds on such a small plant. I thought - wow, it seemed quite prolific. At $14.99, there was nothing to lose, this beauty came home with me in spring 2021.



Delbard is a breeder of Le Petit Prince. According to Heirloom, they describe its color as "Mauve with hints of pink and lavender". It certainly isn't pink and you'll be able to see more lilac/lavender as this rose ages. Let's take a look at how this rose perform in these areas, shall we?



Growth Habit: Le Petit Prince grows wide in my garden. Right now, it's about 3ft tall and about 4 ft wide. I have this one in a big 22" pot.


Disease/Pest Resistance: its main disease that I have seen is blackspot (in my no-spray) garden from spring to fall. I'd rate it "pretty good" for a blackspot proned area like mine and no use of fungicide. Thrips do love it as I spot thrip damages on buds and some foliages but it keeps growing/blooming so far in July 2022.


Heat Tolerance: Le Petit Prince blooms from spring to fall. It continues to bloom well during summer too with strong frarance. However, its flowers were fried in high/direct sun duirng TX summer. It is a prolific rose that repeats quickly. Some afternoon shade will help. Flower size is smaller during high heat but overall still very decent.



Flowers & Thorns: medium to low thorns (phewww). It's very fragrance. I'd personally describe it as sweet apple scent. It smells SOOOOOO good, I absolutely love it. When flowers fully open, it looks almost like a poppy flower. Its size is around 3.5 - 4 inches in diameter.

Overall, Le Petit Prince does well in our heat, humidity, and Texas sun. If you want to enjoy its flowers a bit longer, cutting and bringing them inside to enjoy during summer is highly recommended.

Trong lúc xem một vài nội dung về các website giải trí trực tuyến, mình tình cờ thấy rikvip được nhắc đến nên cũng tò mò truy cập thử. Do trước đó chưa tìm hiểu nhiều về trang này, mình chủ yếu lướt qua giao diện, xem cách các chuyên mục như game bài, xóc đĩa, tài xỉu được sắp xếp ra sao. Tổng thể trang không quá cầu kỳ, các khu vực được chia khá rõ nên nhìn nhanh vẫn dễ hình dung. Mình thử chuyển qua một vài mục khác nhau, thao tác tương đối nhẹ và thời gian phản hồi cũng khá ổn. Với một lần ghé xem nhanh như vậy thì mình thấy cách trình bày của…

GK88 được mình bắt gặp khá ngẫu nhiên lúc đang rà lại một danh sách liên kết trong tài liệu đã lưu. Có một đường dẫn mang tên này nằm ở phần tham khảo nên mình mở sang tab mới để xem thử nội dung phía sau. Mình chỉ kiểm tra nhanh rồi chuyển qua việc khác, nhưng khá chú ý đến cách bố trí trang. Các mục chính được đặt tương đối rõ, phần chữ không dồn thành từng mảng lớn nên đọc lướt vẫn nắm được cấu trúc. Mình bấm thử vài khu vực rồi quay lại trang đầu, thao tác khá trực quan.

https://dh88.works/ được mình chú ý trong lúc đang xem lại một danh sách mã vận đơn cũ trên máy tính. Có một đường dẫn liên quan nằm trong phần ghi chú nên mình mở thử cho biết, chứ lúc đó cũng không có ý định tìm hiểu thêm. Trang tải khá nhanh, phần điều hướng được đặt ở vị trí dễ nhận ra và các nhóm thông tin không bị trộn vào nhau. Mình bấm qua vài mục rồi quay lại trang chính, thao tác khá trực quan. Chỉ ghé xem một vòng nhưng mình thấy bố cục phù hợp với kiểu người dùng cần tìm thông tin nhanh.

https://kx8.gg/ হঠাৎ দেখতে পাই একটি ভিডিওর নিচের অতিরিক্ত তথ্যগুলো পড়ার সময়। ভিডিওটিই মূলত দেখছিলাম, কিন্তু সেখানে একটি লিংক চোখে পড়ায় কৌতূহল থেকে সেটি খুলে দেখি। প্রথম দেখায় পেজটি বেশ পরিপাটি মনে হয়েছে। গুরুত্বপূর্ণ শিরোনামগুলো সহজে চোখে পড়ে এবং নিচের অংশগুলোও আলাদা করে সাজানো থাকায় দ্রুত স্ক্রল করা যায়। মোবাইল থেকে কয়েক মিনিট দেখলাম, কোথাও অতিরিক্ত অপেক্ষা করতে হয়নি। খুব বেশি সময় দিইনি, তবে প্রথমবারের ব্যবহার বেশ স্বাভাবিক লেগেছে।

Some articles compel me to slow down because the subject matter is rather sensitive, and content regarding the grief of losing a pet is one such instance. Previously, I had encountered the topic S8 of reward-based card games—often associated with leisure and passing the time. Placing these two subjects side by side, I realize that each situation calls for a distinct approach. The section discussing how to cherish memories and allow oneself to grieve is written with great restraint, avoiding the trap of offering hollow words of encouragement.
