This climber wasn’t doing very well in a pot and it hardly flowered. I moved it into the ground last year and it seems to be happy there. After the initial shock, it’s now flowered quite nicely, much more than any time before and its scent is gorgeous in the early evening.
Here’s the full plant, actually two. There is one planted at each leg of the arbour:
So happy that this climber has finally decided to flower after being moved from a pot and placed into the ground. It’s got healthy growth now (yes, even in this heat) and these are the first flowers we get on this plant.
This is the first year that that Poinciana actually flowers in this profusion. After 5 years, I guess it finally feels that it’s mature enough to do so!
It covers the front garden with its petals that every morning the area around it glows with oranges, reds and yellows of its petals.
Happy Friday everyone.
It looks happy in its location. Needs a bit of pruning at the end of the season to encourage it even more.
Got another I planted in the office garden and that’s looking particularly happy too. Too young to flower yet though.
This is the only “giant” variety of Euphorbia Milli I’ve got in my garden. its flowers are about an inch in diameter (many times larger than the usual variety) but the thing is, this plant normally has beige flowers, I have no idea how it morphed into this lovely bright pink colour!
I love it!
Morning Glory is very pervasive and takes over everything in its path. We planted this along with 3 other types of creepers on the pool area wall and it looks really lovely especially in the morning.
Have a wonderful weekend my friends.
I planted many aloe veras by the old frangipani last year, I’m reaping the rewards this year as they all flowered and the scene is gorgeous in that area. The pokers themselves are enough I think. Pretty happy!
I wish you a continued peaceful long weekend and a happy new Hijri year.
Happy Friday my friends.
We came home from Rome early this morning to be greeted with this lovely thing by our front door:
In a space of week, it woke up and produced all of these lovely flowers. It’s quite unfortunate that my gardener decided arbitrarily to chop the thing while we were away last time. I’m nurturing it back with judicious pruning. Hopefully it’ll be okay in a couple of years.
