Abort and Re-do

I had to pull the zucchinis for they were diseased - white fungal stuff growing on the leaves so I'm sowing grey zucchini instead. It's very unfortunate that I've only harvest 1 zucchini so far! They were many fruits forming but they rotted in the end!

Japanese cucumbers that I'm letting to seed. They are attacked by insects too.

A rogue snow pea plant growing. 

Tiny carrots.

Scrawny lettuce slowly fattening up.

Tomato and white radish seedlings.

Very tiny Autumn Beauty sunflower.

2 rogue strawflower seedlings growing among columbine seedlings.

Bauhinia Phanera is flowering in time for my upcoming wedding.

Challenge with the Size of a Mammoth

We have moved into the new house and it proved to be a pretty challenging house. Since it's an old house with so many trees, the house is full of ants. The size of the house is also something that I need to get used to it. We haven't finished unpacking as we have another 2 houses/condos to deal with due to last minute development. It's really been a crazy week. That said, let's focus on what's on this house.

This is how our porch looks like. Few portulaca plants and some palm-like plants. 

 We have fake dill and a huge Kauka Wilder which has rust right now. This house has plenty of birdnest ferns that some of them I mounted to their natural habitat - trees.

Coco posing at the driveway. Speaking of Coco, it has also been challenging as she became blind two weeks ago. She's struggling a little right now as she does not know this house. This picture is also deceiving - she sat down because she was scared to move around.

The movers broke the pot of my Kauka Wilder so I've grounded her. She's a little wilted but I think she will do fine.

How my condo plants currently are right now. Avocado Miki died and Magnolia Lily doesn't seem to be doing too good. The new green shoot died. the 2 plumerias in the picture came from the other apartment of ours. They should be doing well here. There's so much sun here, I've already got pretty tanned.

Rangoon creeper at our backyard. We have another one in frontyard. 

 We have 2 pots of this cute purple flowered-plant,

One of the ferns I mounted.

I should do a better job with this!

I found an oakleaf fern at my garbage bin so I tied it up on the mango tree.

I bought another Platycerium - Elephantosis (furthest left) and have it mounted on a Daiso chopping board.

The oakleaf ferns that I collected last week, finally mounted on Daiso chopping board.

Saw this oakleaf fern at one of my neighbour's when walking Odyssey earlier this evening. And to think it was a rare fern...?

New Babies

My 2 unknown Platyceriums arrived. They are reckoned to be Wallichii but... anyway they looked wilted when I took them out from the package. Gave them some water and left them at the balcony for some air.

And they all look perked up in the evening (well, I took this picture midnight actually).

And here's Odyssey saying hi!

I've noticed there's a row of 3-4 trees full of Platyceriums and birdnest ferns in KL/Bangsar road and I managed to pulled over just the other to admire and take a couple of pictures of them.  A closer look showed they belonged to someone - the platyceriums are tied to the trees and spotlights were installed to show them off. Was so tempted to pluck the lowest ones!  

We went to the new house and lo and behold, there's a flowering Rangoon Creeper growing at the back of the house which I'm very much tempted to move them to the front porch to twine with Bauhinia Phanera kockiana. 

 There are plenty of mulberry trees and birdnest ferns that I plan to either sell or give away. The previous tenant also left few orchids of unknown ID and some foliage plants (spider plant?). A Kauka Wilder is growing nicely in the front yard too.
