Seedlings

French beans. Tidied them up with some sticks.

Edamame. 

Longan. I was just testing growing from seed. I would buy a grafted/marcotted one from farmer's market when we move to a landed property.

I sowed at least 7 seeds but only 2 germinated.

A variety of Aeonium (valverdense?) that I brought back from Santorini last June.

The New and The Gones

The replacement to my dying magnolia coco arrived this afternoon. I hope I don't kill her again.

This was the old one.

On a happier note, a Malaysian Red Plumeria that I saw at the nursery while picking up the new hydrangea. By the way, there are only 4 varieties of plumerias left in my balcony. My Malaysian Red died too. I will wait until we move to a landed house before starting my plumeria collection again.


Eucalyptus that I picked from a local florist to decorate home as we are having guest over.

Hi

Chives, cactus and mint.

Avocado seedlings and Amaryllis that I force-hibernated for a few months in the kitchen closet. 

I transplanted my stagnant wild strawberry. 

Balsam seedlings (from seed) that I bought from the farmer's market. 

Over-matured Japanese kale.


Lavendar has grown a little too wild.

New hydrangea to replace a recently deceased hydrangea, I lost it to crown rot.

The ever-wild basil. 

New addition: Lemon seedling sharing the pot with a basil seedling (seed from the ever-wild basil) and some portolucas from my dad's pot.

These are french bean plants, dwarf variety. Got the seeds from the farmers' market too. Other seeds that I've bought and sown are pink bachelor's button and edamame.

My happy Ylang Ylang. It was full of blooms a couple of weeks ago.

Bought a Magnolia Coco a month ago and apparently I planted her into the wrong type of soil. The seller was kind enough to replace me with a new one.
