“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.

The Buddha Patch survived the summer a lot better than I expected this time. Even the bamboo seem to have finally taken root and are really getting on. Buddha is happy!

Have a wonderful weekend my friends.

New Plumeria

Posted on 18 September 2009 by garden

I bought this new king of plumeria from a garden centre this morning and promptly found a place for it in my garden.

I have no idea what type of plumeria it is. You could clearly see that it’s leaves are a bit “weird” and unlike any frangipani I have seen before. The garden centre didn’t have the Latin name (of course) so it should be fun trying to properly identifying it. If you could help, please enter a comment with my thanks.

Have a wonderful and peaceful weekend my friends.

ehm: identified as Plumeria Pudica, reportedly one of the best you can get. I’ll reserve judgment for a while if you don’t mind. I’m pretty partial to most kinds of Plumerias so I’ll see how this one fairs.

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 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 are really getting close to being ready to be harvested… hopefully we’ll get some of that before we go on holiday.

Have a wonderful weekend my friends.

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.
