More Blooms In My Garden

Took more shots of my garden plants early this morning, those which I haven’t taken photos of a few days ago. There are very few flowers but I love the greens just the same. I’m posting them here in high-resolution shots. Some are macro shots of the flowers.

My Arius tree

 

Dwarf sansevieria in clusters

 

 

Locally we call these Baston ni San Jose, Amazon Lily without the flowers

 

A macro shot of my Bleeding Hearts

 

Crossandra are everywhere even at the back of the house

 

My lone Palm tree. It’s growing tall.

Until now, I still could not identify this plant. The flowers are red when they bloom but they turn this color afterwards.

 

I wonder why this Adenium has split petals. I took shot too a week ago when it was just a bud.

 

 

There is a bud now.

 

And all I have left is the green Mayana.

 

This is also good as an indoor plant but Oreo keeps playing with the leaves so I have to bring it outside.

Greens

Took some more shots of my ornamental plants early this morning. More greens in the garden.

Planted this a year ago as a very thin cuttings then when it bloomed, it rewarded me with a very nice and soothing scent.

 

I keep forgetting its name.

 

I know this as white grass. Do you know its scientific name?

 

My larged-leaf taro. It’s edible. I use it for my “laing”.

 

My Eugenia plant. You can shape it any way you want.

 

Bougainvillea flowers atop my Arius tree.

 

I think this still belongs to the family of Caladium.

My prayer plants. They fold their leaves in the afternoon.

 

Most of them are green, my flowering plants are just the Vinca,  Zinnia, Fukien Tea, Crossandra, Bougainvillea, Bleeding Hearts, Pink Angels and Shrimp plants.

Practicing With My New Camera Phone

It’s been a while, and I mean the last time I updated this site was more than two months ago. I love my new phone camera. So easy to take photos. Tried it again this morning taking photos of plants thriving in the garden.

Fire spike or mottled toothed thread.

 

When the flowers mature, they would look like  green Celosia.

 

They are called Golden Candle or shrimp plants.

 

My Pink Angels but I am sure there is another name for it.

 

This is where my Gardenia used to be. I miss its lovely and scented blooms.

 

My Crossandra flowers. They bloom everywhere in the garden.

 

Bleeding Hearts. Would you believe, the actual flowers are the red ones at the tip.

 

My Calamansi trees. Can you see the green and light yellow fruits?
