No fountain in the garden? No worry, your plants will give you the effect but of course with no sound ;-) Some display lots of blooms while others lush foliage. This time my Alocasia x mortfontanensis Andre (African Mask) bears leaves that are smaller than usual but more in numbers. I like the markings!
This plant appeared in my garden "voluntarily" from one of the pots in 2009. A free plant and it flourished freely ever since :-D
Mirabilis jalapa (Four O'Clock) certainly takes its time to bloom. Its flowers usually open in the evening. While the striking colour of the blooms strike the eyes, its sweet fragrant makes the nose gay. Wonderful plant to have for a show of colours, even in dusk.
Yellow Forever Roses came back quickly, almost forever blooming. Certainly a must-have rose :-)
The other yellow flower in the garden was Monocostus uniflorus (Lemon Ginger). Spot the two yellow blooms in the picture below...
A real lemon... Grown it from seed in my kitchen...
Here is a group of dwarf plants (Dwarf Syngonium, Peperomia puteolata, Maranta leuconeura var erythroneura) that I have been growing on a rack in my porch. I was intrigued by them while snapping photos as they were all growing towards the direction of the sun...
The other plant that is forever blooming is my dwarf Azalea. Sorry if you are bored with me sharing about this plant :)
Almost every time, it will flower profusely. So I cannot not update!
How lovely :-)
My red Gloxinia is in bloom and the picture below shows the first flower. Two other flowers followed after this one...
Grass-like plant (a sedge I presume) is also another plant that gives a fountain-like effect. It can be more outstanding than the flowers...
Have a wonderful fountainous day :-)
