Madam, madam! Look, look! Now what have we here?
I did notice the early stages, these cute little horns.
Adorable, eh? Then as usual I walk past this plant everyday without looking. Distracted by what, I also don't know.
Then one day it became this huge thing. OMG!
So I started paying attention. And guess what?
An itsy bitsy one started growing right next to it.
See it?
It also grew progressively.
I've been keeping tabs of the progress.
Latest picture. I guess, pretty soon I will be harvesting seeds.
Horns? Hmmm...I'd be lucky if mine stays alive. Only the wood left after a long time of neglect but I managed to revive it - now there are leaves and flowers are blooming!!! So happy! Plants are like people too - need tender loving care!
ReplyDeleteIt's good then that it is alive and well and blooming!
DeleteWhen I see your title, I thought what hamsap thing.. Faster read.. Then I saw the small batang, ok, then grow into big batang, ok, I'm still hoping and thinking maybe got some hamsap thing about it, thought it was male batang thingy to capture female insects or whatever.. Then eh, your story finished liao, nothing hamsap, huhuhu..
ReplyDeleteYou arrrr...hah..hah...
DeleteOoh. It grows horns. Yes. Harvest the seeds. And you can grow more of this horny plant. ^^
ReplyDeleteI am looking forwards to doing that!
DeleteGoodness! The world of hamsap readers will google search "Horny" and see you flowering instead! Wakakakaka
ReplyDeleteThis flower is very popular during CNY as many people believe that it brings good Feng Shui and blessings.
More pageviews for me then hah..hah...
DeleteGood news: when I try to Google search "Adenium", your blog show up in first page!
ReplyDeleteSo it is just a flower, not edible har? From the pictures, the horn looked like a distant cousin of the okra. :/
Ya kah? heh..heh... Not edible lah this one but I agree, it does look like okra.
DeleteHi Phong Hong, Your are lucky to get the horn in your Adenium. My Adenium plant is almost botak, hardly any leaves but flowering non stop. :))
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day, regards.
Amelia
Amelia, flowering non-stop means very good luck leh!
DeleteMy late grandfather used to have this plant, but i never seen the horn before, first time seeing it...
ReplyDeleteSo now you see it...
DeleteYour fu guai fa plant must be quite an adult to have horns and going to spew seeds from its horns soon. :D
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a matured plant.
DeleteI had an Adenium plant once (before a stray cat destroyed it).....but it didn't grow any horns! :D
ReplyDeleteThat must have been a younger plant. The older ones will produce horns.
DeleteHow beautiful!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteMy mom's house have a few pots of this Fu Guai Fa, but I never see "horn" like this :P
ReplyDeleteMaybe you missed it :)
DeleteOh, I don't know much about plants... but I could see that good blooms are coming!
ReplyDeleteHope so hee..hee..
DeleteFirst time I see horns on adenium! It must be your lucky year Phong Hong.
ReplyDeleteI hope so, Veronica :)
