MIRABILIS JALAPA

I think I mentioned about this huge bush before. Just last week and this morning, I collected more than 50 seeds from this clump of shrubs. They were a mix or yellow and peach coloured flowers but they were few. I bet no one really pays attention to them except me. Given sufficient flowering inducing fertilizers, I am sure there would be more flowers on the plants, much like the ones I used to have along my common corridor.


This is life, I guess. Sometimes we can be everywhere but we can still be unnoticed or ignored. It takes someone with a different perspective to admire or appreciate us. So here I am, and as long as I am still around, this plant will never be relegated to the slums.
