It's all new area ....again....!

I have told about the Heliconia which i chop down due to it's invasive character and about the place which became ideal place for snake. Once all the Heliconia goes......the area become a bare area. After sometimes Torenia, Zinnia and Periwinkles started to self seeds that area. I throw some sunflower seeds which i thought not healthy but one of it emerge!




I planted 2 of my Euphorbia Milii cuttings and shifted my potted Thuja Platcycladus to the ground. There are still a lot of space available and the weeds are growing happily. I'm planning to put more Euphorbia Milii cuttings to make this place very un-inviting to poisonous reptile but I haven't start any..... I'm having to much to handle at the garden now since i have neglected them so long.....sigh...!




Someone told me that Heliconia is a plant which is very hard to get rid off and I think it's very true! Can you see the  baby Heliconia plant at the end corner?!

Bid bye....

I have big area where Heliconia grow wildly. They have conquered the whole space and become like small jungle. It's very near to my car porch. A nice natural shaded place for many plants but unfortunately, It has become a favorite place for snakes. I saw long black colour snake in this "small jungle" last week. I nearly step onto the snake as i was not wearing my lens/ glasses.....Phew.....That's it....I have decided to remove the whole plant as it's so inviting place for cold blooded animals.....!



half way clearing up....

A sad ending for Heliconia in my Garden.....

Helliconia

I was wearing my sandal to work when i realize my Heliconia have been flowering! I rush in to take camera and snap these photos!
Look at the flowers! It look like claws! I have neglected this plant so long that i didn't realize their growth! I must fertilize this plant first thing in the evening when i go back!
