GBBD - September 2016

This shall be the 9th post for GBBD hosted by Maydream

We are reaching the final quarter of the year 2016. How fast time flies! It shall be beginning of Monsoon rainy season soon but this year there might be a change. We are seeing a lot of weather change this year!

This suppose to be dry month, however we are seeing rain now and then. Even one or two thunderstorm too!

Anyway we shall enjoy all the season like the plants! Let's look at what's blooming in my garden!

The Gerbera in full bloom! Both pictures were taken in 1 week apart.

I had trimmed my powderpuff plant 4 months ago so much that it's not bouncing back again! However it produce few beautiful flowers!

As usual, the purple Duranta sending out a lot of flowers!

I just love my Costus! With minimum care they sent out so many
flowers!

Yellow everlasting flower of  Mussaenda ! The bloom last for few weeks!

Red Hibiscus !

Cape honeysuckles bud and flowers! They were given a heavy trimming too!

Potted Bougainvillea ! I think it's time for me to shift them to the ground!

I'm not sure of this plant name but it invite a lot of honeybees to the garden!

I forgot to take photo of my Marigold and Ixora! Trust me they are blooming cheerly too!

For more bloom around the world, feel free to visit Maydream website!

powderpuff at the new place!

Few weeks ago I shifted my potted powderpuff plant to the ground and give it a little hair cut. The plant has grow big and it always topple when the wind blow strong. The roots were coming out of the pot too!

It has a beautiful puffy flower.

The plant need little attention and can be propagated from semi wood cuttings. I realise that mealy bug love this plant so check the leaves often. Place them under the sun and they will burst into many pretty red flowers! Butterflies love them! If you want to see more flowers and butterflies in the garden, you can plant this beauty!

I hope powderpuff like this new place!

Powder puff have beautiful flowers which is loved by us and the insect such as butterflies and bees. This is my first time to see Powder puff setting seed pods. The seed pods are flattened and long. I have tried using stem cutting but it never grow new leaves. I hope to sow the seeds and see many more of this beauty emerge in my garden.

Lush again!

My Powder puff was trim down massively due to caterpillars and mealy bug attack few months back! I have posted about it HERE . Now it has bounce back to a lush and beautiful plant again!

This give some live lesson for me! At time we face a lot of obstacles . We feel very exhausted with life.....We re-arrange all our strategies!  In the end like the plant we shine once again!

The powder puff !

The powder puff is my favorite of all time! It keeps flowering all year around! I wish i can propagate more in the near future.

It's fun to see their leaves fold when the sunset!

It's quiet fuss free too! All the plant need is " a lot of sunshine!!!! "
