Sanzevieria trifasciata blooms last dry season, with full sweet scent at night.
Spider plant, Chlorophytum comosum, grows well when fertilized. This just started from a very small plantlet like those at the end of the long stems. Now it has a lot of plantlets ready to be an independent plant.
A volunteer eggplant i nurtured well with fertilizers, and has already given me the first fruit. Those two fruits will in turn be for my sister and mother who water it daily during the very dry months. I hope it will grow even better now during the rainy season.
that is the first fruit which i ate with relish, excitement and thankfulness
a moth larva is trying to get a share, but i saw it before it was able to bite
These are guavas i found in the thicket, fallowed areas when i was looking for butterflies. Eaten early morning, it gave me a full doze of Vitamin C requirement and tummy full too. It gave me power in chasing butterflies in the wild to photograph.
And to complete the story of my day, let me show you our new young kittens, which do not stop at all from running, teasing each other, pulling each other's tail and everything. Look at that, they were just stopped by my camera.
Hi Andrea, I am sorry to hear about your weather, but maybe you are pleased to have the water for your plants. It is also good to have time to catch up with chores. We are on holiday in Spain just now. The weather is hotter than Scotland, although it has been sunny there since the beginning of April. It is unusual to see the grass being brown!
ReplyDeleteI hope the weather clears up for you soon and lots of fresh butterflies appear!
Oh yes Nick, time to catch up for my gardening backlog, which are still piling up! The grasses here are now green with the heavy rains for the last two weeks, so i thought the butterflies are already waiting for me. Then next week i will not go home for some wkend appointments in the city, so sad for the butterflies. Enjoy your holiday in Spain. Thanks.

Thanks Arun, those guavas are in the wild fallowed areas i saw while chasing butterflies.
DeleteThe plants are lovely as always, but those kittens are so adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by always Al. Best regards.
DeleteGreat plants and in the end an overload of cuteness. Hope your chain is not to well oiled.
ReplyDeleteHahaha yes, it is not well oiled. Thanks much.
DeleteYour kittens are adorable!
ReplyDeleteYes Lady Fi, they are always so lovely when young! Thanks.
DeleteI love the kittens! And I am intrigued about the guava. I don't know if I've ever eaten any guava...perhaps I will buy one and find out!

Yes Kay try it, those in the supermarkets are lovely with thick pulps and less seeds, unlike these native ones which are the opposite. But i love them still.
DeleteI am pleased you are getting a break from the heat … we have been busy watering our new landscaping - I would like to have more rain, but it is wishful thinking in our arid environment. Next summer these native plants will not require all this hand-holding! I love eggplant and I am very jealous of your lovely produce!
ReplyDeleteYour kittens are cute and look like they are having so much fun. Who knew climbing over a bicycle wheel could be entertaining?

ReplyDeleteoh I definitely recognize the spider plant, I use to have one hanging in my old house. They are definitely a topic of conversation.
