More and a Little More

I've bought more seeds - sown today: cabbage, red flower french bean, Italian parsley, calendula, dahlia, sunflower, strawflower and some kailan to replace the seedlings that didn't survive heavy rain recently.

Two of the edamame plants have started to flower which I feel too quick as they are just about 20cm.

Chinese kale aka kailan.

Bokchoy.

Two of my snow pea seedlings were accidentally cut by the gardener. One doesn't look like it will survive.

Four Japanese sweet potato and 5 red okra seedlings.

So I saw rainlily is being sold at RM25 on FB and few weeks back I found them at the edge of the drain on the main street so I gathered them and planted them few days ago. Didn't expect them to bloom so quickly.

The previous tenant planted heliconia at the fence and they don't look good. They also started to grow outside the border. Look at this rogue one.

I also bought a pot of rose this morning when I went to purchased the reserved seeds.

The sole survivor of my first sunflower seedlings. Well, the rest didn't germinate. This is Autumn Beauty. 

Cempaka telur aka Magnolia Coco has grown more growth after we moved here.

Japanese rose, or actually accurately Mexican rose thriving at this sandy area despite being trampled by the dogs.

The jackfruit has fruited. Initial count is 20 fruits. This one has been dressed with a t-shirt to be protected from elements and pests.

The major pruning I did on mulberry bushes paid off. They are heavily fruiting now.

This poor fake dill went berserk after being pelted by heavy rain so I cut them off so they can grow again.

Goodbye

For an unknown reason, the leggy Magnolia Coco dried up and died. That's very sad especially when I'm losing the hydrangea too.

Birdnest fern doing pretty well, not the Santorini succulent though. Sigh.

Ylang-ylang blooming.

Now that I'm back to just one Magnolia Coco....

Trying to salvage the dying hydrangea, I also planted the sweet potato slips into the same pot.

The sun's been pretty intense lately, my lowland hydrangea is being burned that I shifted to a shaded area.

Assorted plants area consisting dill, chives, bachelor's button, cacti and amaryllis.

Indulgence: Prettiness

This week saw me spending too much (to my liking anyway) money on plants. 

 I purchased 2 dwarf calla lilies. How gorgeous are the colors!

Gasp! Staghorn fern. It won't be the one and only.

This will be hung in the master bedroom but I will have to re-tie it with fishing line so it has a cleaner look and also my drilling skill is rather lacking I need to wait for the BF to come home from Europe to do that.

This is the inspiration. I will be asking my dad to make the exact frame for my next staghorn.

Look at this.... The nursery has at least 5 walls of these.

Lowland hydrangea which I named Penelope. Heh.

It has been raining a lot and I forgot to bring it in. Gah.

Sweet potato. I've plucked the slips out from the tuber and they are growing roots in a rapid rate. I should be able to transplant them into soil next week or so.

Heirloom tomatoes. I separated them into 2 planters. Coco ate the seedlings as one of the planters was on the floor.

Avocado suffered a little sunburn.

Twins! Magnolia Coco.

Ylang-ylang blooming again.

Very expensive purchase - peonies and rose. But will you look at them. Gorgeousness.

Monotonous

The dwarf plumeria cutting didn't dry well so I re-cut again.

 Avocado got sunburned?

My magnolia Cocos. I probably should name the new one Olive Oyl since she's so leggy.

Heirloom tomato seedlings sharing planter with green onions. 

This highland hydrangea is still deciding if she's gonna stay or not.

What's left of the new hydrangea - sharing with basil. SIGH.

Only 1 lavender left so I made a few cuttings for rooting.

Thai basil cuttings sharing with the hydrangea that's dying.

Stopped at local florist to get some flowers on Monday and it was a bad time as most flowers were sold during Mother's Day so there wasn't much of a selection. I picked up these sweet-looking 'mums instead.

Few plants caught my attention. No I didn't buy them.

The plumeria inflo from the cutting.
