Its been quite a few months since I last uploaded any plant pics. The last was in April. We've had a few flowering plants since then, but I didn't get around to photographing them. And we actually had to discard a couple due to bugs.
So yesterday I took some time to sit in the balcony, taking in whatever rays the sun could offer and finally took some pics.
Bougainvillea -
We have two plants, one with white inflorescence and the pastel orange one below. The white ones have smaller 'flowers' but dense bunches. The first flush is long gone, but there are new ones quickly growing. However, the angle is such that I couldn't take pics of the 'buds'. Perhaps in a few weeks ....
This plant has 9 bunches at present, though not all have been photgraphed.
Asparagus or Foxtail Fern -
Happy to note that hubby had shifted the position of this pot to receive more sunlight and it has been thriving since, including flowers.
We have the dwarf version - Dwarf Chandni, though it might not be discernible here. This plant has been giving off flowers non-stop!
Jade Plant -
Had to trim this down but the leaves are thick, green and fleshy.
Money Plant or Golden Pothos -
Another plant that has propagated itself with several stems crawling out from that single pot! The pic captures only a miniscule portion of the plant.

That's all folks!
Bouganvillia are flowering in abundance here at the moment. I think the creeper we have on the veranda must be a money plant, it looks like your photo. Your balcony must be looking good. Good idea to take some time to admire it!
ReplyDeleteMoney plant is pretty common here and is quite hardy, as is bougainvillea. Glad that they are thriving there as well, Jane. It is certainly a joy to sit when there is greenery and flowers around.
DeleteOur Bouganvillia is very red. The delicate flowers on your plant look fascinating.
ReplyDeleteRed and magenta are the most common. We were pleasantly surprised to see the first flush of this colour a few months back, Mel.
DeleteSajnos nekem már nincs... nem tudom hol átteleltetni... Későn hajtott ki, mire hozta volna a virágját, nálunk már fagyok voltak, a a telelő hely meg nem volt megfelelő, igy el kellett engedni... Különösen nagy kedvenc a sárga..., amikor nekem is volt még, nálunk csak más szinben lehetett kapni....
ReplyDeleteIt is sad when we have to let plants go but sometimes it is unavoidable. Hopefully you will be able to start a new one this season that will grow for years, Vera. We have the opposite problem with an enclosed balcony plants are not exposed to the changing weather but they get less sunshine and in summers sometimes it becomes quite hot.
DeleteHere I've seen only magenta bougainvillea, your plant has a beautiful and unique colour. And about the pinwheel flower I can only think to the fragrance! Have you ever tasted the edible parts of the asparagus?
ReplyDeleteMagenta can be quite vibrant, too! So Nin, as kids we did suck on the pinwheel flower stem for sweet nectar, LOL. The plant we have has miniature flowers - about a third or quarter the size of the original and I didn't try it yet. I've eaten store-bought asparagus spears but our potted plant is a fern not real asparagus.
