January 2012 in our tropical garden
Haha! Showing off some of our garden plants at our front yard, especially
the inner garden plot that had some make-up done recently.
Plants are growing splendidly to cheer our grieving hearts.
Gardening is so rewarding! Really uplift our spirits and put smiles on our faces
when we see our plants looking luscious and happy!
Enjoy please… we’ll let the pictures tell their story!
A broader view of our inner garden border and porch.
 Another angle shot of our inner garden border and a crowd of potted foliage plants at the porch. |
 Closeup of some plants at the inner plot – Mophead Hydrangea, Costus woodsonii and Alternanthera ficoidea. |
 Back view of our inner garden border. |
 Focus on potted Calliandra emarginata bush, situated on the right-front of the inner border. |
 Hymenocallis caribaea flowering for the first time after being transplanted from a pot a month ago. |
 Hanging pots of foliage plants at our car porch (Chlorophytum comosum, Adiantum capillus-veneris, Syngonium podophyllum). |
 What a pretty visitor on leaf of Pink Chinese Loropetalum. Help ID please. Update: it is a caterpillar of female Olene mendosa (Brown Tussock Moth) |
 Veitchia merrillii, planted at the sidewalk, outside our home. Within 1.5 months, starting mid-November 2011, 3 budding flowering stalks emerged one by one to fascinate us. |

Your hanging pot of Chlorophytum is spectacular and I’m amazed that you grow Hydrangea in your corner of the tropics. Your inner garden and porch look terrific with all those beautiful plants.

Thank you so much for your sweet compliment, Bernieh! We were fortunate to have spotted this lovely pot of Chlorophytum with its grand display of baby spiders at a garden center last September and brought it home without hesitation.
Our hydrangeas never cease to amaze us too with almost year-round flowering. Even some of our country folks (including us previously) were surprised that Hydrangea can thrive in our lowlands. :-)

Your garden looks lush and full of life – a sign that it has been well taken care of.

Thank you, Dr. Manish! Sorry though that we don’t sell plants as we’re not a retail nursery.
