It's a Little Pink & Yellow
Tuesday, October 02, 2012
Ummm... I smell a hoya! My Hoya publicalyx has never failed to delight me with its sweet fragrance. Each time I smell something at my porch, I knew it is my hoya blossoming again. It's flowering non-stop ever since the first bloom came :-D
Although the hoya looks like it takes a lot to produce its numerous, waxy blooms, the vine can actually blossom more frequently than the Monocostus uniflorus...
Yippie for hippie... its striking big blooms are back!
The flower stalk slanted and is resting on its good neighbour, the bougainvillea ;-)
The hibiscus blooms are back after a long rest! For some time now, the shrub has been left with very few leaves. Maybe the prolonged rain or the hard prune I did has done it some good. Not sure though. Anyway, I am so glad to see the plant flowering again.
Same goes for this Hibiscus acetosella... ever so charming and sweet :-D
As for the Russelia equisetiformis 'Flava', gosh... must the stems grow so long?! I had a hard time trying to keep them tidy...
There are never-ending buds and blooms from my Salvia coccinea. As long as the plant is happy, I am happy as well ;-)
Hope all is well with you and your plants! Have a great day.

Absolutely love the Monocostus uniflorus!
ReplyDeleteMust try that when I can find seeds.
I love the hoyas but have to restrain myself from planting it due to space constraint.
ReplyDeleteThat's very beautiful and unique monocostus!
ReplyDeleteI have the red one.
ReplyDeleteThose Russelia never seemed to get tidy in my garden and I just let have their bad hairday.
And to my shock - those branches had decended on the nearby pot and started putting out roots and merged as a new plant.
They seemed to flower well under a very good hot sun.
That Hibiscus acetosella looks so pretty...
ReplyDeleteWow! I just love those flowers. Hibiscus are my favorites. Brilliant post indeed. Thanks!
