I was so delighted to find out that there is a garden at the rooftop of 1-Utama, a popular shopping complex here in Petaling Jaya. However, it only opens during weekends from 10am to 6pm. The garden has about 500 species of plants in an open tropical environment.
The soil medium is based on granulated horticultural carbon (a form of charcoal). Chilled water is provided by sprinklers at night.

The rose shrub grows quickly! VueJardin, you are right about the rose plant.
When I bought this miniature rose, the nursery owner gave me a few tips on how to keep the plant healthy all the time.

This tree in front of my house was planted by the municipal council more than 10 years ago. But sadly, the picture below shows its current state : -(
I think it could have been hit by lightning some months ago as my auto-gate next to it was struck twice. If not, then I really have no clue why this tree kept shedding its leaves. The other trees of the same type, along this road, are doing well. Sigh!

At Floria 2009 that was held at Putrajaya recently, I was captivated by some big yellow cones that grew out of the ground. The plant is called Tepus Tanah in Malay and its botanic name is Zingiber Spectabile, from the ginger family, Zingiberaceae.
Tepus Tanah grows wildly in tropical rain forests and has leaves similar to the common ginger plant.

I must admit that I am not a gardener who likes to use fertiliser. Firstly, many of my plants have been growing well even without any fertiliser. Secondly, my garden just do not have the space for plants to grow fast and big.
But recently I noticed that some of my plants stopped blooming for some time. Hence I bought a couple of blooming fertilisers for the different plants in my garden.

It is a Portulaca 'Dazzle Doubles'!
This precious plant came from a packet of seeds I sowed into a strawberry pot about two months ago. The plant is precious because of the many seeds germinated, only three little plants made it. And it is the first to bloom!
