GBBD - January 2017

It's new Year GBBD! The first post of GBBD for 2017!

The flower of single Wrightia look so pure in white!

I got this flower seeds from a blogger friend "http://mypottedgarden.blogspot.my/"! When I sowed the seeds, nothing happened! So after sometimes I throw the whole pot with the soil at the sugarcane plant area. Surprisingly the little seeding emerge and grow to flower!

 My favorite spot of garden! The ever flowering Costus!

Mussaenda white flower! They have little orange star shape flower too! I never realise about it all this while! How ignorant am I!

Marigold flower in yellow! They do not have good smell. No wonder it's called "bunga tahi ayam" or "chicken poop" in Malay language! But they do have pretty flowers!

My bunga telang growing wild in the garden!

Cape honey suckle after light shower! They stand strong!

Adenium continuously flowering without fail!

It's raining now after long period of hot season! I'm happy to welcome the rain!

This is my late post for GBBD. For more flowers blooming around the world, visit maydreamsgardens

Banana - again!

This is second banana tree fruits. The first plant's banana was harvested. Enough to share with family and friends. The trunk was chopped and shared too! Such a useful plant!

Another view! I'm not sure but this type of banana tend to grow huge and tall! 

The banana flowers have be harvested last week. Cooked and eaten. I forgot to take the photo!

I have 3 tall banana trees and 2 plantlets.

Growing bananas are really good! All parts are useful and most of them can be eaten! The trunk, flowers and fruits are edible. The leaves are trademark of Indian food! We eat on banana leaves! It serve as a plate of special occasion especially!

Spinach

Snails are making a "come back" in my little garden!  I just sowed spinach seeds few weeks back and they are growing now. Does egg shell prevent them?

I hope snails don't find the way to this bed. My first successful attempt with red spinach!
