Inedibles

Ms Ridleyi lost one of her fronds.

But she's growing two more!

Elephantotis growing new shields.

A random baby on the Elkhorn.

I thought I lose the maidenhair fern but no! Lucky I didn't pull it out and chuck away!

One plumeria finally blooming! Can't wait see what variety this is!

Wild orchid, they said. I need to find out the name.
** 6/12/2017 - ID identified: Arundina Orchid aka Bamboo Orchid

Cute balsams. Will be collecting seeds and sell soon.

Random thing growing among the rainlily. I accidentally pulled out some of the tuberose bulbs during weeding so I planted them in here too.

All the mulberry bush had major pruning again.

I uprooted the remaining of dahlia seedlings that I transplanted to ground near entrance. Odyssey trampled most of them. The reason I uprooted and clear the area is to plant some more durable (and cheap) for an upcoming event in January. Marigold maybe? I purchased 6 pots of marigold at RM24 today. Quite a steal as someone told me she bought a pot at RM6.



I also cleared on another side where I transplanted the lavender-colored balsams.

The area where I intend to grow the Botanical Interests Perennial Mix. I should start sowing the seeds.

Ornamental Delight

I must say the balsam took quite long to flower.

The previous tenants left 2 pots of wild orchids Bamboo Orchid and they didn't look good. After 2 rounds of fertilizers, they start to bloom.

I found that this is Brazilian Button and although they are quite pretty, they are invasive.

It's nice to pass by Ylang-ylang and get a whiff of her.

The pink and white roses are starting to bloom again after fertilising.



Few of my calendulas have been trampled by Odyssey. 

Peach-colored canna lily my neighbour shared with me.

Sunflower seedlings - not doing well due to lack of water.

Dahlia seedling.

I totally forgot about watering the platyceriums that a few wilted, especially the ridleyi. For a moment I thought I was going to lose her but today she perked up.
