When I looked back at the more recent posts, they were hardly on plants and I talked more about the movies I watched instead. I guess it's time to go back to plants since that is what this blog is primarily about. It's not easy to juggle a few blogs, on top of managing my 2 home marine aquariums, even though they are really small.
Anyway, just 2 weeks ago, Gardens by the Bay was abuzz with lots of flowers. To cut things short, I will just list down the locations and species that I am highlighting here:
- Chinese Garden - Mayodendron igneum (Synonym: Radermachera ignea), Phyllocarpus septentrionalis which I saw flowering for the first time since I have not seen the one I planted in HortPark in bloom before, Cymbidium ensifolium, Hibiscus mutabilis
- Hub & Colonial Garden - Grammatophyllum speciosum which was flowering synchronously in the gardens where some had at least 13 spikes when we counted them
- Meadows & Baby - Posoqueria latifolia, Calotropis gigantea and Afgekia sericea
- Discovery - Commelina (Family: Commelinaceae) with blue flowers
Today's weather - sunny
I mentioned that I would provide an update on the developing fruit of the Glory Lily, so here they are. I will wait and see how big the fruit will develop and what happens to it.
I also bought the Afgekia sericea (common name: Silky Afgekia) climber recently and along with it came a red stink bug. Just take a look at that cute face with big eyes and Elvis Presley hairstyle. Anyway, I hope the bug will survive although I doubt so since it is not in a garden environment.
The Calanthe leafy shoot is growing slowly but surely.
