A Heady Bloom. Yay!

Thursday, December 19, 2019
Some plants flower more often than others. My variegated gardenia unfortunately rarely bloom. Every time when I spotted a new growth at the end of its stem, I would think that it's a new bud forming. Unfortunately that was not the case. At last the current cooler weather made it possible for my variegated gardenia to send out a bloom - and a huge...

Full of Cheer

Monday, November 18, 2019
Cheers! While the wet weather still persists, take delight in the colourful displays in your garden. My orchid has the colour that will definitely cheer anyone up. The plant was blooming happily in the garden one morning - see how gorgeous the flowers are... And see how vibrant the magenta colour is...

Anyway, for those plant that are in the shade in my garden, I have learnt from previous haze situations, not to over-water nor under-water them. This time around, the air...

Colourful Blossoms & Foliage

Sunday, September 08, 2019
I recall times when my sandpaper vine bloomed profusely, sending out many bunches of purple blossoms, making the vine very attractive. So, when the vine started growing new shoots vigorously recently, I thought it will once again send out lots of blooms. I was wrong. The vine blossomed just a small bunch of flowers. Unlike the sandpaper vine, the azalea is an ever bloomer. Due...
