Flowers

Beauties at my front yard in the early morning! 

Wax Gourd

This is my 1st attempt to grow Wax Gourd. They grow so lush against my sugar cane and try to grab any place that they could. 

The fruits are in white coating once ripen. 

 The fruit is about to ripe.  The ripen fruit have mild taste. Therefore we need to add flavoring to enhance the taste. Usually Indians add lentil to make it taste so good!

They have beautiful yellow flowers. The flowers are big and attract a lot of bees and ants. They must have sweet taste.

Papaya Tree

Papaya trees are getting very tall. With a "A" shape ladder we can't reach out for the fruits. Many fruits hanging on the trees! 

I need to cut the trunk so that it will grow again. However this strategy is not very promising. If I let them grow, soon it will be unreachable to pluck the fruits and the tree might uproot on strong wind! I'm really thinking on how to deal with the tree now.

The paper marks the maximum level we could climb by ladder.

Anyone have experience this problem? How you tackle them? I'm a bit unwilling to chop down the trees. All the 3 trees are really good in producing fruits!

GBBD - September 2017

September have been very good so far! Good weather. Balance between sunny and rainy days! I don't complain much on the heavy downpour as it's really required to rejuvenate the garden and wild plants! 

The water bill has gone up past 2 months so I decided to do fortnight watering to big trees! So this rain is really good for the plants and my water bill! ;)

The yellow hibiscus have started flowering after heavy trimming! Together with the white flower! I don't know the name!

Marigolds are putting out the yellow flowers too! As of now single flower is decorating the patch!

The red hibiscus bounce back from heavy trimming! A single show at the moment. However many flower buds around!

The new patch I created for the Balsam and Marigold!  How colourful are Balsam! I really love this plant since childhood time!

The single rose plant with 4 roses! I'm late to find them. The flowers are 2 days old I guess.....

Gerbera with single red flower!

Mussaenda have put up a lot of yellow flowers too! They are so lovely!

Finally the Costus with ever flowering red stalks! They decorate my pathway beautifully even though no scent from it!

My garden colour theme for September month shall be be yellow, white and Red! Beautiful combination. What's flowering in your garden?

This shall be for GBBD September 2017. For more flowers around the world feel free to visit Maydreamflowers at  http://www.maydreamsgardens.com/ 

GBBD - August 2017

It was so hot and sunny past 1 months. All of sudden it started raining on weekend! I'm really grateful for the downpour!  

I think Costus is very happy for rain shower! They look more bright now! 

The yellow Hibiscus have started to sent out bloom after the shower! I'm longing to see their blooms!

The pink and red hibiscus are having a show now! They don't really rely on the season I guess! With little or no water they survived the wild weather!

Adenium is another plant which needs little water! They are the survivor!

I trim down the white flowers last month. Now they have sent out many shoot and flowers!

The Gerbera single bloom after so long! It look so stunning in maroon!

Almost all my photos are taken early in the morning about 6.50am. They appear dark.
