Gladious

First of my gladious bulbs to sprout! This is so exciting having them around the garden!! They also lasts a week or so in the vase!!

My Balcony

I've been working for 2 weeks to setup this balcony. It's really pleasing to go there every morning water the plants and watch their progress.

At night I have special lights that I hang around the gazebo. I will post the night pictures soon.

In The Market: BLOM Amaryllis

I bought a potted amaryllis from a garden center this morning. I was reading the instructions of how to take care of the bulb and I found the cultivar website. They have many decorative potted Amaryllis in all colors and styles. I thought I should share these photos from their website. There is more photos overthere...

So here's their link if you are interested!!

Tulips

Lovely blooms! These varieties are called Monte Carlo.

Gardenia

Those gardenia were planted back in July. I have given up hope on them to flower. I moved them from a sunny spot to a shady spot that doesn't get much direct sunlight. I was doubting that this shrub will ever form a bud! Suprisingly I noticed that this shrub has produced so many buds and they are still growing. The flower and frangrance are amazing.

Isn't that just amazing!!

Lantana

Oleander

Oleander is flowring at the moment. I was against growing this plant inside the garden because one day I'll have a kid running around and who knows picks a leave or two!

My mother gave me this one plus 3 other ones that I never found a suitable place to plant them. This one in the picture I planted it outside the house.
The flowers are really nicely fragrant!
