One morning, I woke up earlier than usual and as I was walking towards the watering can, I noticed a dragonfly perched on my orchid, resting on the spray of flower buds. Never moved a bit and for a long time. It was not even disturbed by my presence as I (and my camera!) was so near the insect!

Still sound asleep, my dear friend?

A friend who visited my garden had asked if I sell plants. This time round, I was asked another rather peculiar question. She asked if the blooms on my dwarf Azalea in pic below are plastic flowers.
Oh, no way! Btw, there is another white one blooming in the garden as well (see the pic after Gloxinia below), I told her.

The other plant which caught my attention is the Euphorbia 'Breathless Blush' bush that is growing at the edge of my porch. Its little white blooms looked rather outstanding in the morning with just a little light. Still, I wished it could flower prolifically...

The orange Hibiscus flowers were partly opened... looks like yawning and about to wake up, hehe...

And later in the afternoon, the bloom was opened fully....

At another part of the garden, my yellow Hibiscus has bounced back with more leaves after a prune few weeks ago. I spotted a flower too! I took the pic below in the afternoon when the sky was rather cloudy.
No harsh afternoon sunlight so the yellow is very close to the actual colour of the flower :-D

Last month, I repotted three Gloxinias into a little long trough. The leaves are now growing vigorously and I noticed that there are already flower buds growing out from one of the shrubs.
Oh yeah! Flowers about to blossom soon!

But not so for my Thyme (foreground of pic below). This wonderful aromatic shrub has never flower before :-( Btw, the white Azalea I mentioned earlier is at the background of pic below...

And last but not least, is my Plumbago White. Lovely...

Life is like a mirror. It will smile at you if you smile at it :-)
