Something Old, something New!

At last, at last! Thank you very much for the big Low Pressure Area that hits our province, we already got the needed rain. Even if it is our rainy season already, we still don't get rain unless there is a typhoon or a low pressure area, and once in a while the intertropical convergent zone (ITCZ). Typhoons bring scary strong winds with rain. LPA brings only rain without the strong winds. So we are blessed now, and we can now plant crops and ornamentals. I hope the rain doesn't stop there. Previous experiences sometimes gave us rains in very distant successions, which is not also good for newly planted plants.

Blooms which are carry-over from the dry season are still here. And totally new ones arrived!

Zinnias are left overs from the dry season. It was affected by powdery mildews, hopefully the rain washed them out.

 This can be a cousin of Celosia or cockscomb, 

 Orchids try to recover too, they still show the dry season stress.

Bamboo orchids dry season crop, this might not flower again until new vegetation is produced

Remnants of the blood lily (football lily-Haemanthus multiflorus). I've tried observing those seedheads last year, but they didn't mature enough for propagation. It bloomed from a single unusual rain in May, while we are still at the dry season.

This looks like a flower arrangement too. I hope many of you will be able to identify what it is. I know what it is, just want to give you some puzzle. Happy guessing for those from the temperate climes!

P.S. ... I am putting here the name of the last photo as i promised. Those from other tropical countries very well know it. I also posted it at my other blogsite at the same time as this post. A full post is done there for coconut. The above photo is already the very young  coconut fruits in the bunch.

Thanks everyone for joining my little puzzler!
