Which Plumeria is This?!

I moved 2 plumerias to our newly acquired apartment and one of them are growing inflos. The problem is that I didn't label them so I have no idea who they are :/ I should label them soon. I can only recognise a few of them.


Update on my aster - one grew a bloom but it never mature to its color and it dried out. Sad.

Grow

 The tomato plant is doing pretty good considering the reduced amount of time I spend at the balcony.

More flower blooms - at least 2 new clusters of blooms grew, making them 5 clusters. I need to up my fertilizer game.


The miniature gardenia is doing ok with a couple of leaves turned yellow after repotting. Am very looking forward to seeing the flowers.

More flowers for the cactus too.

Nice-smelling lavender.

A TIme for My Balcony Garden

After walking Odyssey, I spent a hour at my balcony re-organising the pots and gave hydrangea a little prune. It felt so good to touch the soil and tending to my plants.
There's a new addition to the family though: miniature gardenia (Will retake the photos - the lens was dusty). I bought it online from EM Nursery whom I bought the failed plumeria cuttings from. This time, the delivery was quick - I got it the next day.

It came with 2 flower buds.


My tomato seems to doing pretty good seeing how I have neglecting it. 3 separate clusters with one of them starting to fruit.  The plant also grew taller than me.

 Ms hydrangea still continues to bloom. Need to buy more fertiliser.

The kaffir lime seedlings. The darker ones (from my mom) will be 'smuggled' into Germany for BF's mom and partner in July. The lighter one is my own sowing. Sad looking compared to the ones my mom gave.

Raab rapini doing good.

Can't say the same about my carrots with 3 left. Should sow more, I suppose.

By the way, I can already smell the lavender from their leaves. It's so good.

Not Much Action Happening

I've been so distracted by other daily routines that my plants are rather neglected. Let's go see what's going on.

Avocado plant suffered quite a bit from lack of watering but it is still growing strong.

Slow-growing carrots.

The tomato plant grew drastically. Sowed one tomato fruit(?) - popped into my mouth when I saw it ripe. Totally forgot to take picture.

Good news is that it's growing more blooms.

Raab rapini also growing pretty well.

New Player in Town

Finally bought rosemary after 2 failed attempts to grow them. Bought 3 small pots from the local supermarkets. I hope they grow well. 

One herb that is growing super well is my mint - they will be featured in the dinner menu tonight with quinoa. Yums



 Sowed more french beans and they don't really grow well. They grow quick but turn brown so quickly. 

One of the raap rapini seedlings grow very well, at least 3 times larger than the rest.

 The hydrangea is still growing strong and flowering, all thanks to the fertilizer :)

Overdue Post

It looked like the aster is going to have a bloom or two soon.

Carrot seedlings are also growing pretty well.

Kauka Wilder's bloom has past its prime.

 A couple of raab rapini seedlings do better than the rest.

The tomatoes don't seem to grow anymore and the leaves have turned yellow. I gotta up the fertilizer.

Desert rose.

French bean is growing a flower!

French lavender is also doing not bad albeit slow.

I have no issue on mints.

Ms. Odyssey uprooted one of my avocado seedlings.
