My sago plant (I think)

The initial stage - the center is dry.

Then young leaves come out. At this stage, need to spray fertilizer. If not the soft young leaves will be eaten.

Then old leaves at the bottom slowly turns to yellow.

Flowers in my garden 2

My bell flower alongside bitter gourd flower.

According to my husband, water and plants are two main element of a home.
Can't agree more with him.

Small and clustered. Great formula.
Subhanallah. Allah is great.

My long bean or kacang panjang flower.

Bitter gourd or peria katak flower.
When the whole bunch are blooming, it's a sight to see.

My lotus plant

I was pretty excited when the first bud was spotted.


When mature enough, it starts to uncoil early in the morning.

At this stage, it makes me wait with anticipation of its real beauty.

By 10 a.m., its beauty is already mesmerizing.

By third day, petals starts to fall off. My three day beauty is now captured in my blog!

Flowers in my garden 1

A local breed. An undisputed beauty.

This species only permits its beauty to be appreciated in the morning only.

At only about 3 cm wide, a nature lover would still notice it.

My lovable bell flower. Its color gives a sense of excitement.

Another 3 cm flower. A rising beauty in the bright morning.
