Adeniums in Wat Aroon temple
“Wat Aroon” the Temple of Dawn, Bangkok, Thailand
They’re almost “normal” in Bangkok, adeniums are all over the place and they flourish, puts mine to shame and eggs me to do better.
Well, thanks to a friend, I received 5 adeniums grown from seed in Bahrain. After this trip to Thailand, I finally know how and where I want to plant them.
Thanks Jean!
Have a wonderful Friday my friends.
The Shy Plant
It seeded itself from another that unfortunately died. But I’m really glad that it took matters into its own hands. It’s still a very small bush by the front door but I look forward to it filling that space.
Have a wonderful Friday my friends.
Buddha Patch
Portulaca
Happy Friday!
There isn’t much happening in the garden at the moment; end of summer, still hot and barely recovering from the onslaught on the house by the painters. Only the toughest plants are flowering at the moment: this portulaca in the Cauldron, some lantanas and of course the frangipanis.
I hope you’re having a wonderful Friday and even better weekend my friends.
Gharra Date Palm
Gharra is one of the sweetest dates available. It usually is one of the first varieties to become available in the summer.
I hope your Friday was peaceful. I wish you a fantastic rest of the weekend.
The Dates
Pomegranate
Not many trees are bearing fruit at the moment, well, except for this pomegranate and of course the date palms which are almost ready to be harvested.
Have a wonderful Friday my friends, I hope it’s a peaceful and fulfilling one.
Chilli Peppers
I completely ignored these shrubs (and garden) for the last few months as I have been really busy, add to that the fact that we are repainting the house so it’s surrounded with scaffolding an up to 10 painters stomping all over the garden and you get the idea.
Having said that, I am determined to restart my green-thumb campaign come the new season in September.
Have a wonderful (and spicy!) weekend my friends.
Ixora, in the early evening
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.
