My hydrangea flowers (which I didn't know the colour earlier) turned out to be light pink and purple...
It's true that Hydrangea colour follows the pH level of the soil. The flower bracts will be pink when soil pH is between 6.0 and 7.0. To get blue flowers, the soil's pH has to be between 4.0 and 5.0. I tested the soil and the reading show that the current soil's pH is about 6.5.

These small Euphorbia Milii blooms are modified leaves called bracts. The true flowers at the centre are tiny and inconspicuous.
Thunbergia Laurifolia is not only a fast growing vine but also quick in producing its striking blue flowers. Nonetheless, it's a plant that has been declared a weed in Queensland, Australia.

I spotted this beautiful plant at a bonsai nursery recently. It has a price tag of RM780... expensive? Yes it was! But I really liked it very much as the plant bears beautiful little red fruits and cute pink flowers at the same time.
Did I buy it? Well, yes... but just a small rooted stem cutting that I could afford... at RM15 :-D

These three flowers have shown me what 'flower power' really means.
Earlier this flower cluster drooped due to the hot afternoon heat/sun. But the very next day, I see a gorgeous hydrangea again...
These Gloxinia flowers have been blossoming gracefully. The flowers are all able to put on a good show due to the rainy days and cloudy sky. But on the eighth day, the sky suddenly opened up with a clear blue sky and the temperature was definitely high. The flowers 'melted' and drooped. The next day when I thought I needed to cut them off, the flowers came back to live!
