New Plants....not so new...aah...

First...adenium Yellow Persap and Sweet Orange...received from Mr Eng Song on 26 December 2013... planted the same day....

Second... Lantana... a wild flower used to be ignored in the past.... has gained more popularity lately...even i was seduced into buying it.... and it was not cheap.... bought it from a very large nursery in Kg Kajang of Tanah Merah, Kelantan...on Thurday January 2nd 2014.... luckily the second boss of the nursery.... the daughter of the owner was an ex-student of UiTM Machang campus...so we...Kak Nik and I...got quite a bargain.... ( i also bought 2 Cempaka putih plants..a hybrid between Michelia Champaca and Magnolia Montana with sweet strong fragrance.... one is for Nah and MIL in Merang... ) I bought this Lantana plant ..a large plant with different coloured flowers....for RM40....we also got a packet of fertilizer as a gift from our 'ex-student'...thank you Siti Noor Zuraida Yahya of AW Setiakwan Nursery, Kg. Kajang Tanah Merah, Kelantan.....

A Newcomer arrived the very last day of 2013.....

...a Masui Dauphin (Ma Si Yi...?) from a FB friend Redland-FigCarica-Pokok Tin.... complete with a small fruit on it.... may this newcomer grow to be productive fast....

Arrived 31st December 2013...to be transpnated 1st January 2014...this afternoon when i get home from work...in shaa Allah....a big pot is all ready to receive it!!

A little sadness in late December....

My long awaited Passiflora/Giant Granadilla was DOA...dead on arrival...well it sure looks totally dead... but i am not going to throw it away yet...still hoping for a miracle...hoping that down in the growing medium ...err wet growing medium...it is still alive....

From the box i noticed it was posted on the 10th December 2013 ...released by Malaysian Customs on  the 17th... but it reached my hands on the 29th December 2013....  aaahhh so very very sad...!!!

Echinacea update...

Two more blooms are open ...but the first bloom is still holding on...!!

Friday 131213 update....

Alhamdullillah...my Echinacea Sunrise has started to flower.....

....and the Garlic Vine is also blooming prolifically....flaunting its lavender purplish beauty for all to see.....

...and i am very glad to see my LSU Purple fig perking up after dropping the one-brown-spotted-leaf it came with.....

May you grow fast dear....can't wait to see and taste your fruit......!!

My Apple Tree....

Olive and LSU Purple fig....

...arrived and immediately planted today.....and a cherry plant...barerooted arrived last week a few days before i got home...was away from 16th till 22nd November... first to present a paper at ICELT 2013 (18 - 20th Nov) at Equatorial Melaka...then had to attend a vetting session at UiTM Shah Alam on 21 and 22nd...23rd drove home.... the Cherry must have arrived on the 21st...when i got home there was some whitish stuff on the bare roots.... probably fungus or mold...? Nevertheless i still planted it.....on Sunday 25th Nov 2013.....and i pray for His help....may my cherry plant survive.....amiiin.

Olive from Portugal...looks like there is good potential as a bonsai.....

LSU Purple from Hawaii...looks a little 'unhealthy' with some brown spots on its one and only leaf....hopefully it will recover ...survive and thrive..... in shaa Allah...
