I have been trimming almost all my plants! It's very hot now and many pest making a comeback into the garden. I chase them away by giving all of them a good hair cut. I'm left with few blooms now but the garden look more tidy! ;)

 Costus escaped from the trimming section. They are growing wild at the moment. Some are at my height!

GBBD - February 2014

Mussaenda luteola commonly known as little star from heaven!

It's great to have the sun shining all day long. But...... it's extremely very warm here! There is no rain for almost 2 months!

Everywhere I can hear people talking about how good to have a little shower! I wish for rain too! I feel so guilty now..... I was cursing the rain so much 2 months ago! It does too much damage to my little garden and now I regret for it.......I hope there will be rain!

I guess the flowering plants don't mind the hot sun! With watering done once a day they seems to be very happy!


 Hibuscus must be the champion! They seems to be flowering so much now!

 Plumeria is beyond my height to photograph them!

The Luteola

2 years ago I bought 2 pots of luteola. It was very small plant, may be just about 22cm height. Now Luteola have grown big.

The most interesting thing I like about this plant is the flowers. It has a yellow star shaped flowers with off white sepal. They look so unique.

Propagation of this plant can be done by semi wood cutting or air layering but so far I have no luck yet.

This plant require full sun. If you have space under the sun, try planting Luteola. It attack butterflies and humming birds to your garden!

So far no pest but I read somewhere that be aware of whiteflies.
