During my stay in the Okinawa main island (which is the largest of the Okinawa and Ryukyu islands of Japan) last December, I saw many varieties of garden croton being grown along the streets in home gardens, store fronts and places of tourist interest. The gardeners there are just so fond of the plant's colourful foliage!They made good use of the plant's leaf that comes...

Here is a chronicle of this beautiful single-petaled Gloxinia Avanti Peach Rose (F1) from seed to flower.

Fortunately they are not expensive :DThey come in a few bright colours, so I chose a salmon one and it turned out great.The pic below shows the first bloom...The...
Here is a belated update dated 5 July 2022 from my small garden and indoor plants. They are made up of mostly plants that do not require much attention. Planted outside, they just need to be watered everyday like the gloxinia which I had about earlier. The plant has just gone on to produce its third flush of blooms even when I didn't add...

It has been a while since I last posted an update of my garden. Now that everything is almost back to normal, I can now shop and add/replace some pretty plants to my garden in addition to the regular robust ones I still have.I used to have several gloxinias with different colours but with time, they have faded and died one by one....
