While there are plants that are just not growing well, some are doing pretty well. I start with bad reports...
My miniature rose has gone to a size that's as small as a moss rose! The leaves are small and turned dry, and they really look unhealthy. Due to the lack of experience on my side, the rose was totally exhausted by the recent heat and flash rains. In fact one of my rose plants had died on me. So sad :-(

My Mexican Sunflower plants were infested with small white flies. When I was getting rid of insects, most of the leaves turned yellow and dried up. These problem worsen when the weather turn sunny and hot.

I wish that I could have more of these pretty and cheerful blooms in my garden. They are just spectacular!
Gomphrena was the champion amongst the many seeds that I have sown earlier. But Mexican Sunflower is the shinning star! The intense orange colour is just amazing.

My first flower bloomed in an unusual way. The disk-florets in the centre opened while the petal-like orange ray florets were still rolled up. Then I learnt that daisies are made up of two types of flowers - disk florets in the centre and petal-like florets at the periphery. Together, they give the appearance of being a single flower known as capitulum.
