GBBD - NOVEMBER

 

I haven't post any for GBBD so long. It's not that I do not have flowers to show off but I was so busy with little baby.



I trim the hibiscus and they look so funny now......

Now the monsoon season have started. it rains everyday practically! sometimes morning and night! The plants do not really like the soggy soil.

 Wrightia has started flowering! This flowers are really strong against heavy rain!

Periwinkles can be found everywhere! But I'm left with only this colour. Previously I had the white version too! It's a mystery that some flowering plants have gone missing including my balsam! That show how much my garden was neglected for past 2 months.........sigh.....

 

Bunga talang is flowering profusely. The flowers can be used as colouring for Asian food and also to produce juice! Pretty flowers!

GBBD- June 2013

I'm early this time for GBBD of July month!

The sun is shining so brightly and it look like long summer here! It's been long since it rains but my plants are surviving due to my watering effort!

The ever flowering periwinkle! It has ayurvedic benefits!

I love the vibrant colour of cape honeysuckle! They have been invasive on my from garden but I'm happy with them!

Costus have been struggling for sunlight as the honeysuckle covered the area! I need to relocate Costus!

The self seeding Torenia is everywhere in my garden!

Plumeria is flowering again but they have grown beyond my height!

 Wrightia is enjoying sun bath!

Balsam is back for good ! :)

Can you see the spider? I use to see spider on this plant! Very strange! Grasshoppers have tested their teeth! The leaves have many medical benefits!
 

GBBD - October 2012

I think the frog must have beg for the rain!

It's raining everyday now after about a month plus of hot and scorching sun! Last Saturday, it rain the whole day! It was soaking wet and cold too! I don't really like cold environment though..... The only advantage of the continous rain was that I manage to fertilize all my plants! At least no effect of burn due to my careless fertilizing activities!

OK, get back to GBBD for the month of October! I have collection of Hibiscus in the garden now! It's not that I have special addiction to hibiscus, but I thought of creating borders between my vegetable patch and flower garden. The only plant which I can think of was Hibiscus since it grow big and have beautiful flowers too.

This is a part of the border that I mention. They are still growing soon will become a good border!

The border in the making!





another red hibiscus with varigated red colour leaves! 



I don't have to trim this small tree! Every time it blooms with full of flowers, I can see a lot of caterpillars making way! They trim down the tree free of charge for me! hahhaa...

the tree is full of flowers and big caterpillars too!

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?!
