So happy to see them all withstanding the 'stress' of being transplanted and it is pure joy to see them perking up strongly like this.
Meanwhile, the herbs that I have planted more than a month ago are still in the same small pots and doing quite well. The pot at the furthest left side of the plant stand below is the Rocket Salad. Next to it is the Catnip, followed by Sage and Thai Basil.
Sadly, my Leaf Celery Westland and Red Giant Mustard are not doing that great.
One morning, I was delighted by a spray of blooms from an old plant which is the Sandpaper Vine. The spray was not that huge but it got me thinking of when was it that I last saw its flush of blooms... hmm... I couldn't recall. It was so long time ago and what a nice surprise!
Likewise with my Acerola cherry shrub. Although it never flower nor fruit for a long time already but this week, it produced fruits! The pic below is just showing the last fruit.
My Frangipani tree sent out a happy bunch of blooms...
A rose blossomed...
And these little bird-like blooms that are seemingly perching on the newly sprouted shoots of my Euphorbia coalcomanensis (Synonynm: Pedilanthus bracteatus) are a delight to watch too. They were green at first, then slowly turning yellow.
Btw I learnt that cutting down the stems helps to bring out more shoots, leaves and those 'little birds' ;)
What is even more surprising is my Yellow Firecracker -- also known as the Fountain Plant. Its blooms turned red and it is a new colour!!
Do your plants give you surprises? Can't wait to hear from you ;)
Happy gardening!
