Rangoon Climber, originally uploaded by malyousif. 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.
Delonix Regia flowers, originally uploaded by malyousif. 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 [...]
Adenium (Desert Rose), originally uploaded by malyousif. Have a wonderful weekend my friends.
The Datura has gone wild, originally uploaded by malyousif. 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.
Euphorbia Milly (giant variety!), originally uploaded by malyousif. 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 [...]
Rockets!, originally uploaded by malyousif. I lost the tag for these beauties but they’re doing very well in pots and in the gardens at home and the office. Have a wonderful weekend, and if you do know what these are, please share!
Morning Glory, originally uploaded by malyousif. 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.
Aloe Vera Pokers, originally uploaded by malyousif. 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 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 [...]
Portulaca, originally uploaded by malyousif. 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. [...]
