Wednesday Blooms....

When i walked into the garden this morning i smelled a strong perfume in the air. Looking around i found the source of the strong perfume....my Brunfelsia Yesterday, Today Tomorrow is in full bloom....

....and my old rose plant is also blooming...really love the fragrance.....

and some newer rose plants are also blooming....but these are not as fragrant though...nevertheless they are as beautiful.....

Other non-fragrant plants-but-still-beautiful-nontheless.....

errrmmm...this Begonia is not very happy now there is such a lot of rain....have lost the other one...Alhamdullillah this is still striving....!

All considered...this Wednesday is a beautiful day....Subhanallah walhamdullillah walaaillahaillallahh wallahhuakbar!

Rosemary and Lavender....

Both....and some more other plants...bulbs and seeds are gifts from a very generous friend....blogger Experimental Garden....thanx zillions again dear dear gardening friend....!! Here is a little update......

The Lavender....has grown a little bit more...hasn't it dear friend...?

The Rosemary is a little slower...but Alhamdullillah there are some new leaves ...errmmm think it is also showing good progress....?

i tried to plant some cuttings from both....the Lavender cuttings seem to be doing well....they are now about ..err nearly 3 weeks old or a little over a fortnight...but the Rosemary...err looks like it is not gonna make it...!!

well...will try again later when the plant is ready for a good trim..... :))

woops...i forgot to take a pic of the growth made by the zantedeschia calla lily...well the growth was still rather minimal..... just little shoots protruding out of the soil...but what excites me is....there are more than one....!! Errmmm thank you again dear friend.....!!

Non-Stop Begonia....

My non-stop begonias have been very badly hit by a lot of heavy rains lately....and aahh they certainly are not happy about that..!! One of the two seems to be about to stop...!!

This poor darling has deteriorated further from the time this pic was taken.... 

This darling is still going strong....in fact there are signs of new growth....still flowering non-stop...!

Aaah i will be very sad if i were to lose any of them....have sprayed  Impra anti-pest and anti-fungal...am praying it will survive...... and while waiting for my non-stop begonias to recover i take solace from the other blooms.......

My purple Passiflora...very fragrant .....from late afternoon onwards...

.... my 2 new roses...white and soft pink... which i very nearly killed....left them in a rectangular plastic container i have just bought along with them....this container has a plastic plug covering the drainage hole... i did not take it out... it has been raining a lot lately.... thus my 2 roses were standing in water for some time before i noticed the situation.... quickly took them out and transplanted them in the pots they are now.... both are now budding... though not as prolifically as when i bought them....

This is the pink one...the white buds have not bloomed yet....

This is another member of my garden community which really cheers me up...ahh how i love looking at itz  very soft
pastel pink blooms.....

So while waiting for my non-stop begonias to recover i take solace from the other blooms.......

New Plants in my garden....

Today 8 October 2013 .........a few days away from awa n kamal's wedding.....and quite a few days after i planted the fig plant ....this time in a large pot...to avoid a repeat of what happened to the other 2 fig plants bought from US through ebay....i got this Tiin or fig plant from En Zahir Omar....thus it should have acclimatized well ....planted it immediately..... because it was wilting and  most of its leaves were about to turn black......had me really worried that i might lose it ....today most of the leaves have wilted and fallen off...but thankfully...i think its gonna make it...!!

Today also......the package from a faraway friend Dmitri arrived.....some of the plants sent are still fine...sadly the yarrow...Achillea Saucy Seduction has turned all black and mushy....

My Achillea Saucy Seduction...but i still planted it ...well m a believer of miracles....
I pray my Saucy Seduction will survive....that only d upper part has died...but the part down in the soil
is still alive...and will perk up soon......amen...

Fortunately my second-top-on-d-list-of-wanted-plants...the coneflower Echinacea Sunrise... is still very OK...and my first on d list of wanted plants...gojiberry...errnmmm a cutting sent by Dmitri...was also looking fine......

Echinacea Sunrise.....looking fine despite the long journey from the US here ...in Besut Terengganu

Gojiberry or Wolfberry...a plant i have long wanted to have...thank you again Dmitri
 for sending me this cutting...!

Dmitri also sent a lot of extras... a cherry tomato plant, some very interesting succulents and a guanabana sapling....thanx zillions again Dmitri!!

ahhh...i forgot another newcomer in the garden ...a Navel Orange citrus plant...also from Dmitri.... seems to be doing fine at the moment...it has been exactly a fortnight in my garden now....received and planted it immediately...on 26th September 2013....no new growth yet up to date....will post a pic when there is new growth....
