Last Sunday I took a good look at my garden hah...hah...
I love gardening but I have not been able to spend enough time to look after my plants. Hopefully this coming Merdeka Day long weekend will be an opportunity for me.
My pink Hibiscus is very pale. The plant needs fertilizing. I used to make loads of compost and when compost is applied, the color of the flower becomes deeper and enhanced.
This is another variety of Hibiscus, red with five petals, our national flower.
This variety looks like a pom pom. Hibiscus is very hardy and can survive with very little attention.
Miraculously I managed to grow spring onions. The shallots were in my kitchen and they poor things shriveled. So I threw them into the compost bin and they sprouted. So here they are.
This is my curry plant. It is a very hardy plant and can survive even when neglected, just like Hibiscus.
This kaffir lime plant is the same - it has been with me for many, many years.
I have had these colorful plant for a very long time. I don't know what it is called.
This is how it looked like - a simple flower. It wilted the following day.
This was lunch. Beef trimmings marinated with turmeric power, curry powder, garlic powder and salt. It tasted quite good.
For dinner it was meatball soup with grated carrots, onions and celery. These days instead of chopping vegetables (yes, I do eat veggies from time to time) I grate them up. So easy. The soup was vavavoom!
The colourful plant with the big leaf...there is a similar plant with a larger leaf similar shape to yours, usually only green, called elephant 🐘 ear, because it resembles an elephant ear. Please look up elephant ear plant in Google to get a visual. Beautiful photos. ❤️
ReplyDeleteI feel for my plants too. I used to have a dessert rose 富贵花🌸which bloomed so beautifully for me for two years then it finally rested in peace.

DeleteGood that the hardy hibiscus is your National flower which represents resilience and able to survive under any conditions and circumstances 👍 I wonder why Orchid is SG's national flower, what is the history and the story, maybe I should Google about that
ReplyDeleteYes, Linda is right, I googled elephant ear plant and their flowers look exactly like the simple white colour flower you posted above
ReplyDeleteThe meatballs soup looks very comforting
