We dont have many flowers in the plot.
Hibiscus or Bunga raya
Little plant that looks very much like
kuchaiThe little reddish brown things really look like flowers
as
asin-asin or
cekur manis (Sauropus androgynus) is getting matured.
We planted last year with cuttings of kitchen leftovers.
Asin-asin is best cooked as
masak lemak adding
sweet potatoes
(ubi keledek) and prawns
(udang) in it.
Senduduk (Melastoma malabathricum).
We let three of these wild plants grow in a row
since January 2008. Now they are
almost 6 feet high and regularly trimmed.
I suppose senduduk seeds are scattered around
by the little birds known locally as
burung ciak.
Selasih (Basil?) .. For kichen herb.
The flowers are very upright.
ixora
Our yellow bitter gourd flower or
peria. Normally there are two or three bees hovering around the flowers early in the morning , sucking nectar I suppose.
And of course the light yellow
flower of tamotoes,
Wild plants or weeds I posted earlier do have flowers,
tiny, pale looking but beautiful like this one,
which I like most..
Glad to find another gardening blog in Malaysia, through Blossom Blooms. All your veges looks great.I have basil with purple flowers.

The cekur manis in Sabah is called sayur manis or pucuk manis. Now that's good to change info. We usually tumis and mix egg with that vegi, its so sweet...
