New Plants, Old Plants
Saturday, November 29, 2014Glad I spotted the flower of my Kaempferia pulchra plant. Good thing it was facing the doorway, else I would have missed it. Saw it as I was walking out to the garden one morning. This one is unusually 'shy'... hiding inbetween the leaves ;-)

Pinguicula sp. (Butterwort), Dionaea sp (Venus Fly Trap) and a very small Nepenthes sp. are all in one pot -- a mini bog garden of carnivorous plants...

And in front of the mini bog is my new pot of Impatiens which has white flowers with pink edges. I thought the shrub is never going to bloom lots of flowers. I was wrong. After a week in the garden, the shrub is more floriferous.

I have been growing a few Oxalis corniculata plants in the past. This one is new and I consider it a replacement for the ones that had wilted. Now keeping my fingers crossed for this one ;-)

Here is a Pleiopilos nelii that I am growing for the first time. It's as cute as a button!

Anthuriums are beautiful plants! Love how they look when the blooms are out. Previously I had one but it eventually wilted due to the prolonged wet soil the plant was settled in and the gloomy sky during the rainy season. Now for these new batch of anthuriums I hope they are good survivals ;-)

Tillandsia sending out its flower soon...

Found an interesting Alocasia sp. the other day at the nursery. It looks like Alocasia cuprea or perhaps it is one of those Alocasia nebula, hmmm... not sure of the ID though. Are you growing this plant?

Also, anyone knows the ID of this plant?

The last sight of my white-and-red Gloxinia. The flowers are all spent now. And I have trimmed the whole bush.

Have a great day!

Lovely plants, Stephanie!
ReplyDeleteThe second-last photo, I have no idea, but it looks very nice!
It's ok, Joyce. Still, hope someone could identify it. You have a great day!!
DeleteNew plant always refresh our garden. Yours look so nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Endah Murniyati! Glad you like them too. I am excited to see how they perform in my garden :-) Hope no 'casualty' haha...
DeleteMmm..great feeling to have a new plants! Your impatiens are so nice, soft and lovely color with pink edges. I like. I only have the old school color at home - pink & red + white. Also pleiopilos..so unic. look like a nut or what.., so new to me. I want to see its growing and what it's look like. Waiting for your future update.
ReplyDeleteHello Normala Saad, these impatiens are smaller in size. I think they are different (different variety) from the usual pink and red impatiens. Re pleiopilos, well, I think I might have over-watered it already as the little plant looks like rotting. Hmmm... not sure if it can recover... anyway, happy gardening!
DeletePlants are so looking so lovely.. I have had bad luck with anthuriums too. Two that my aunt gave me, one of them wilted but other one is not producing any blooms.
ReplyDeleteHello Vasudha Somayaji, thank you for your compliments. Anthurium dislikes wet soil and likes to be fed regularly. But the blooms are usually not plenty when grown in my garden :-( These are still new ;-) Have a wonderful day.
DeleteWhat a lovely little flowers! I never seen a pleiopilos plant before!
ReplyDeleteI am afraid that the little pleiopilos is gone now :-( Shouldn't have water the succulent that day as it was cloudy and rainy weather all the way after that.
DeleteLovely plants. I especially like the impatient and alocasia.
ReplyDeleteWe have many interesting alocasias here. I wish I could grow all of them.
Deletealocasia sinuata
ReplyDeleteThank you! But the plant below it, you recognise it? Although I don't have this plant anymore, it would be nice to know the ID.
