This passiflora really enjoys its new position, it’s mother plant died unfortunately, but from a little sapling, this thing is covering most of the wall. It’s the first time that it actually produces this much fruit. Not sure if I’ll eat them (some passion fruit are poisonous – I tried one before from the mother plant but it was quite bland) but it’s sure is good enough to have in the garden.
Have a wonderful Friday my friends.
This is an escapee. Yes it is!
I found this growing in the corner of the vegetable patch and seemed to be doing well enough. I told everyone to leave it alone (otherwise the gardener might have have pulled it out and threw it thinking it to be “kachra”!)
I noticed about a week ago that it was starting to bud, which meant that it was flowering soon and with that I might be able to identify it. I did this morning. I rooted through the collection of seed packets I planted last year and found it! It’s a Cleome spinosa aka “spider plant”.
Now that I know that it’s successful, I’ll wait for the seed pods and will plant them directly into the ground for next year.
Anyone want to exchange seeds of exotic plants?
This is possibly one of my laziest uploads. In truth, I wanted to label the “love-lies-bleeding” plant which I have grown from seed and then completely forgot that I planted it there! I hope it turns into a perennial as it is very pretty indeed!
We also harvested a bunch of bananas and chopped its mother plant down a couple of days ago. The bananas produced are HUGE. I’ll upload a picture of those tomorrow.
Oh, that’s the cat proving once again that he’s a house-cat. Running around (going berserk, rather) completely knocks him out and he turns into a panting ball of fluff who still defies being caught.
I hope you are having a wonderful Friday and I wish you well for the rest of the long weekend… Happy May Day too.
