About CASA Veneracion
Casa is Spanish for house. CASA is also an acronym for Connie, Antonio, Sam and Alex. We are all surnamed Veneracion. We all love to take photos -- of anything that catches our fancy. It's a family obsession.
This is a journal of how we live, eat, learn, play and have fun. Work? Work is part of playing and having fun. Seriously.

i learn the names from my mom, she’s in landscaping business.
try looking for “impatiens” for this one.
Oh, my gosh — you’re a walking flower encyclopedia! It is Impatiens walleriana hybrids – ‘Super Elfin Red’. Thanks.
Impatients are very popular flowering plants here in Florida. The flowers come in different colors. They like cool weather and need to be watered every other day. I buy at least a hundred of them in colors of red, white and orange and plant them around the two (street) sides of the house. Unfortunately, they only bloom from around October to March because they don’t like too much heat – that’s why they called them annuals.
you’re welcome!
walking flower encyclopedia, hehehe… di po ah, I only happen to know some of those being used commonly in landscaping, like these ones. like i said, i learned them from my mom
