A rosemary bloomed and faded last week and this week two new little flowers emerged. I have grown rosemary for many years and this is the first time the plant flowers for me. I am in luck, maybe.
One nursery owner told me generally that there are male and female plants. Wow, really?! It seems that if the plant is a male, then it will not flower. So this one I guess is a female plant ;)
My latest hibisbus is a HibisQs and a white one. The flower can stay open for more than a day!
A cattleya orchid produces two gorgeous white blooms recently. They are really long lasting and have remained gorgeous for more than a week now. When got this orchid from a friend, I didn't know what to expect. Now I know, yay!
I couldn't resist this beautiful mophead hydrangea at the nursery. My last hydrangea plant succumbed to spider mites after about two years of growing it.
Here's another white bloom but smaller in size -- an Arabian jasmine called 'Duke of Tuscany'. While I like this sweet smelling bloom a lot, it fades fast especially when the days are wet, sigh.
A new rain lily that I bought recently is coral in colour but with no ID, so sad :(
Next to the rain lily is my regular pot of purple shamrock. The bulbs have reproduced its purple leaves and blooming wonderfully these days.
Every time I see a plant re-bloom, I will be super-excited. The yellow chrysanthemum that faded and which I have pruned earlier has regrown new foliage and flowers.
Spotted a long bean vine climbing up a trellis...
I left my pot of mint growing as it was looking really vibrant and abundant.
Never underestimate a coleus. The plant can be easily propagated using its stems. It roots fast and each time I replant a coleus, the colour somehow turn out to be a little different I noticed.
Here is my most beautiful find of the year... Caladium bicolor. Got a pots of the plant to replace some wilted coleuses that were in these two pots :)
Have a pleasant day!
