Gardenia jasminoides is a shrub with greyish bark and dark green shiny leaves with prominent [...]

Pink Rose In My Garden
I was so happy when this particular pink rose plant I have finally bloomed. The other rose plant which I bought at the same time as her has been flowering many time over the year, but she has not.
I can see that this particular pink one does not have as many petals as the other [...]

Kesidang Revisited
This picture of my bunga kesidang was taken in early July 2010. I have been waiting for the plant to bloom after her last one in September 2008.
After changing its spot from one place to another, I think it finally finds a good place to grow and bloom again. The plant has been climbing around [...]

The Purple Vanda Orchid
I never know what kind of orchid I grow until it blooms and I want to write about it in this gardening blog.
So after searching and reading through a few orchid websites, I am pretty sure that what I have here is a Vanda.

My Sunburned Cattleya
It is a crime to neglect all my plants, I know that..but alas I have no time and opportunity to lavish any one of them with the old tender loving care.
The cattleya I brought from old home seems to be doing fine until I moved the pot to a new location. Little did I notice [...]

Bunga Kertas - Bougainvillea glabra
I’ve had these 3 pots of bougainvillea for the past 6 years. When we moved to this new house, I thought of leaving them, but SIL advised me to pruned all the sharp thorny stems and transported them together with other plants.
So after a few months of adapting to new surrounding and location, they are [...]

For many years I grew a pot of anthurium in my garden, but lately the one and only pot of anthurium seems to be dying. So since I went to [...]

Cabbage Rose - Rosa centifolia
I think what I have in my garden is Centifolia rose, also known as roses with a hundred petals or cabbage rose. Well, at least until I get myself confused with Bourbon rose..huhu! So if there is any rose expert out there, please clarify my confusion.
Taken from the website : Heirloom Roses:
Centifolias are a complex [...]

Cattleya Orchid
It took me sometime to find the correct group which this orchid belongs to. Initially I was given the bulbs by my SIL and since I never see the flower, I was not sure whether it is the usual dendrobium or something else.
After researching further, I think it is really a Cattleya orchid. You see, [...]

Kesidang - Vallaris glabra
This picture of kesidang plant has been taken somewhere last year. Over the last few months, with my morning sickness and all, it seems to be dying slowly. However since it is quite a sturdy and hardy plant, it grows back and today I notice some flower buds are coming out.
What I love the most [...]
