Water Lily, originally uploaded by malyousif.

This is the first ever water lily in my care. It has just opened this morning! I am really happy with it and love its colour.

The dates are almost ready, originally uploaded by malyousif.

One of the harbingers of summer; the dates are almost ready to be harvested. Looking forward to having them every day with meals (and at other times too!)

Have a wonderful Friday my friends…

Caper flower (Capparis spinosa L.), originally uploaded by malyousif.

The first time this plant flowers with me. I bought this herb plant, the Caper (Capparis spinosa) from the recent Bahrain Garden Show and put it in a pot by the front door on a pedestal as it has a habit of "flowing" and it looks gorgeous in its place on a pedestal.

There are other buds forming so soon we might be able to enjoy a number of these delicate looking beautiful flowers.

Much better than eating their buds, this is a feast for the eyes, and it’s not even Friday yet!
