Oh, To See Such Lovely Blooms

Spent the early morning weeding and admiring the flowers in my garden. I have some new ones I bought yesterday. Delivery of the plants was free.

I finally found whìte Aster, an addition to my addiction to white flowers.
It is called Snow White. The leaves turn variegated white as it grows.
It is called Bacularis, a family of snake plants. The leaves are rounded.
Sweet Basil. I hope it grows well so I could make pesto sauce.
A white Zinnia
So lucky to have two colors of Zinnia in one pot.

I love those yellow Zinnia flowers.
Java Mint. Tried it in a hot cup of coffee this morning. It was so good.
I was not lucky in the past to grow eggplants so I bought two pots.
Poprice, a family of Sedum
I have a pot of Parsley….finally.
Locally, they call this Palong. It’s Celosia. Tried growing some from seeds but they died after one flowering.
A pink Begonia. I am looking for a red one.
Look, this eggplant has flowers.

What’s In A Garden

Ah, I could not get enough of the flowers in my garden. Ibwant to document every bloom. I already transferred my button plants along with the two Aster I bought a few days ago.

My Bridal Bouquet is blooming now.
They call this White Angel and the flowers are quite similar to the Kamuning blooms and Bridal Bouquet.
A close-up of my Aster bloom.
I just bought two pots.
Planted these violet and white Button plants in a corner. They are thriving well.
They call this Devil’s Backbone. I need to replant them but I don’t have enough pots.

Morning Gifts

Finally, my Bridal Bouquet is in bloom. Tiny flowers that add to my collection of white. They actually look like my Kamuning.

Garden Finds

Quite ashamed. I think it’s been more than a year since I posted here but you can always visit my main blog DREAMS AND ESCAPES (arlene1956.wordpress.com).

I am presently enamoured with white flowers. Aside from those I have posted here earlier, I was able to find more blooms yesterday. Here are some plants I haven’t posted here yet.

These are called button flowers, otherwise known as Globe Amaranth and Bachelor’s Button.
My white Ruellia. I used to have only the purple ones but over the years, white and pink sprouted.
Ah, my scented Kamuning. It replaced my dead Gardenia.
Just bought these yesterday, an orange and yellow Cosmos.
Yeay for white button flowers.
It is called Bridal Bouquet and has white flowers too
Snow White. Look at the variagated leaves. They look like flowers of the plant.
Sunshine. What a lovely name for a plant. It bears white flowers too.
Which is more colorful, the orange or yellow Cosmos.

My pink Ruellia. Used it to greet the new month.

There are actually plenty more. Will upload them some other time.
