Chilli Peppers, originally uploaded by malyousif. 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.

The Bird of Paradise has finally flowered!, originally uploaded by malyousif. 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, [...]
Euphorbia Milli Hybrid – yet another kind!, originally uploaded by malyousif. 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 [...]

I hope it turns into a perennial as it is very pretty indeed! We [...]
Produce from my garden, originally uploaded by malyousif. It’s been the first time in quite a while that I have had the time (and inclination) to potter around in the garden, and you know what? I thoroughly enjoyed it. What you see in the picture are some of the results of the vegetable patch; namely [...]
The first time I planted a vine about a year (or two) ago, I think I bought that plant from the garden show too. I planted that one in approximately the same location as I chose for the new one I planted today, the difference though is in the pruning, and the experience. Then, I [...]
Country Mix Buddha, originally uploaded by malyousif. Have a wonderful Friday my friends!
Lipstick Palm (Cyrtostachys Renda), originally uploaded by malyousif. I wanted to get this palm since I laid eyes on them the first time I visited Malaysia. This time, I made sure that I got one and here it is planted in a prime location in the garden. I hope that it will take. more info [...]
