I was feeling under the weather for two weeks. The flu is still bugging me and the unusual dry spell is not ending any sooner. To make matters worse the sky seems blocked as the haze is back!
Though the plants in the garden have to thrive harder for their leaves and flowers to flourish, some are doing ok. Here are some of my favourites...
Last week, many blooms emerged from my bougainvillea. They seems more pink than usual, making the shrub looks so bright and cheerful. However I would have loved it more if the shape of the top was rounder. Also I think a cat has climbed on it earlier. A branch seems to be bending down to the pot below and the bougainvillea looks a bit distorted...
Here are some of my kalanchoes. On the left in the pic below is the Kalanchoe orgyalis. Love the colour! Next to it (on the right) is Kalanchoe tomentosa. I really like its hairy texture ;-)
My Kalanchoe plants were always planted in the bright shade.

However, under the shade, they grow really slow and easily rot due to over-watering. I find it hard to adjust watering schedule due to the unpredictable weather we have. So, after the above kalanchoe (anyone knows the ID?) rotted, I decided to place my Kalanchoes in the open - under the full sunlight and subject to 'full rain'.
