So last Monday, i purposely got absent to have another morning for butterfly chasing, but it was drizzling and cloudy. Therefore, i have some hours for plant photos before leaving for the city again in the afternoon. So here are some of my blooms in a very scarse garden.
Two orchids: Dendrobium and Vanda
red cosmos-i planted this for the butterfly nectaring plants, but till now i still haven't seen any butterfly alighting on them
Celosia argentea 'Cristata'
The flowers bloom at early evening, and the wind to the house was so sweet one night. So i got out and looked for the source, thinking there is a hoya that opened late, only to find out it was this Dracaena surculosa.
Hoya mindorensis
Hoya buotii (purple)
Hoya obscura
Hoya multiflora
Hoya bicolensis
Hoya siariae
Hoya siariae (yellow)
Beautiful collection of pictures. I love them all, maybe because I love flowers :-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blooms! I don't have any outdoor blooms now, so I really appreciate seeing yours. :)
ReplyDeleteYes many temperate countries are under sieged now by snow, hehe! We only have a little bloom lull during the dry season. Thanks Beth.
DeleteThank you for the beautiful pictures, love your orchids and hoya's are so special!
ReplyDeleteKlara, those orchids are self supporting and haven't tasted fertilizer at all. Thanks for appreciation
DeleteWhoa - that Dracaena... just beautiful! Love all your Hoyas, too. Such cool plants!
ReplyDeleteThanks much Anna, are you growing hoyas too?
DeleteWonderful blossoms. I love the red cosmos. I usually plant orange and yellow varieties, but I'm making a note to try red next year.
ReplyDeleteOnly orange and yellows are available here, I just asked a friend from somewhere to send me seeds for butterflies.
DeleteWonderful colors and shapes of the blooms!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vilrose for your visit and appreciation.
DeleteSo nice to see all these colours and varieties of plants.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by Amy Franks. I miss your NZ landscape!
DeleteThe orchids and the celosia are stunning. Especially the celosia - I have always thought this is a fascinating flower. Glad you are back!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie, hehe sometimes i forgot to post when i am concentrated on my butterflies!
