The colours in the early evening in the garden are out of this world. Maybe I should shift my photography to early evening, it’d be worth it.

Dejected Mynah
We’re painting our house at the moment so scaffoldings are everywhere manned by 8 to 10 painters as well. Needless to say, this is a major disruption to the garden, especially that we have had to hard prune quite a number of bushes adjacent to walls.
The other sad thing is that it disrupted quite a number of nesting birds, our Mynah friend here is one of them. I think that this egg is one of theirs.
Hopefully they’ll be finished and out soon. Just in time for the growing season again so that I can take care of my poor garden again.
Scorched Frangipani
Summer is almost at its hight here and it is merciless to the plants, only the toughest survive. Plumerias are definitely tough and very adaptable.
I planted this one just outside of our house and for all the abuse it gets (cars, children, passing fanciers picking its flowers, hostile environment) it continues to grow quite well.
Have a wonderful and fragrant weekend my friends.
Asparagus
The Bird of Paradise has finally flowered!
The last time this guy flowered was when I was incapacitated, bed-bound and suffering from a back injury. I remember my daughter Hanan went out and took a picture of it showing me it’s first flowering in our garden ever.
Well, it’s flowering again, a whole three years between the last time it did so and now.
I am thrilled!

Euphorbia Milli Hybrid – yet another kind!
I must confess that I have a very soft spot for Euphorbia Millis, with this that I picked up from Jawad’s – of all places – it brings the total types that I have of this fabulous plant to 4. Look through my Flickr stream to see the others. This one is quite cute, the red flowers as you can see are deep red, but enclosed in them are pretty yellow ones. Very pretty.
With this my friends, I wish you a very happy a peaceful Friday.
