Here and There, A Little Bit More

With new development in our lives and heavy travelling, the yard was quite forsaken. The Plot to Happiness is being put on hold on as mentioned in previous post and one of the fence post gone kaputt so Odyssey had access to it although she's just walking around, no harm done.
Here's a little update to what's going on. 
 The egg magnolia has been flowering a few times, I think this is the third one. It looked so cute.

My poor maidenhair fern almost died twice but it bounced back. 

 The red magnolia sprouted new branch and the leaves are so much bigger! I'm very happy that's she's happy.

One of the plants I acquired from Austria in April was Korean mint. It's not doing as well as I thought it'd be. Also, the two mints that I had kinda died too.

Got bay leaf plant from Austria too. Doing better than I've expected in humid climate.

 Lastly, I attempted to grow Alpine strawberries again and this time worked. I could see new runners growing and it is growing a fruit too.


My hydrangeas are doing alright except for the gardener kept trimming when he cut my grass. So annoying!

Bloomer and Foliage

My marigold patch isn't doing ok since odyssey loves to walk on that patch.


Odyssey broke this one on the base so it's dying. I wonder if I managed to root the broken cutting the last time?

Ms Ridleyi has 2 fronds now.  

I should cut those dried stems. It's so nice to see that it survived.

Baby bifurcatum is growing bigger pretty quickly.

For the love of God, the flower bud of Egg Magnolia dropped?

A succulent that I took from the Airbnb in Los Angeles.

More blooms!

That 2 dual-colored roses. I've decided to hold of my rose haul. I should not be so greedy.

What's left of my dahlia.

I have 3 pots of freesias. Only 2 pots have sprouted but not all of the bulbs did. There's at least 10 bulbs per pot.


A couple of my autumn beauty sunflowers are going to bloom.


The Mexican Giants decided to grow more blooms and they look mutant.

Hello, Surprise!

I actually kinda of gave up on the Magnolia liliifera aka egg magnolia just as I did on tuberose as they don't bloom at all but lo and behold, guess what I saw today!

Harvested my first Japanese cucumber today. It also has a insect bite just like the first zucchini.


I just can't get over of Jee Petch!
