Oenanthe javanica in the family of water dropwort
Flowers or bunga-bunga are beautiful and treasured here, whereas in some other parts of the world, the word bunga bunga has different meaning which Silvio Berlusconi (click here for more : Italy in suspense as 'bunga bunga' trial is poised to lift lid...) had made famous in Italy last year,

Beautiful vegetable flowers!
ReplyDeletePretty flower of selom!
ReplyDeleteCan we eat the malabar spinach fruit? they look like mulberry to me!
The cleaning guy here in the office utilized some space around the building for his vegetable garden, and his okra are all fruiting now. The bitter gourd have started to climb the trellis, while the tomatoes are already starting to ripen. It was a sight to behold every morning i pass by it. Certainly those okra flowers are so beautiful, always. I love its 'bunga' too. We have here a whitish variety with branches and longer life span than the green. We have the same 'bunga' term but we include a prefix to denote plurality. Haaaay, i want to harvest fruits, maybe like Kakdah!
ReplyDeleteThe malabar spinach ripe fruits look like mulberries. Look yummy but can eat? Detective Sue sent you an email without a tittle ops.. hope it didn't go into your junk box.

ReplyDeleteThanks. yeap, vegetable has flowers as exciting as roses..., less colourful though.
.....Malar
I dare not try malabar spinach seeds, i will let it stay longer to save seeds.
.....Andrea
We are compiling words with similar meaning now, malay and filipina (tagalog right?) Last time was ubi and now bunga. I have not seen the whitish okra here, but i have seen creamy one.
.....milka
Kakdah pick malabar spinach leaves and shoots. Not too bad. The fruits, so far not yet. Tak Berani, takut sakit perut. There is rather large seed inside. I have replied the email...... a Porsche milka?

Beautiful!! :)
ReplyDeleteStatus report: I've freshened up the soil in my vege patch and fixed a trellis on my backyard wall. Some vege seeds have been put into mini pots. They should be sprouting in a few days. Kacang bendi is one of them! Woohooo! I want to plant Malabar spinach too but I can't find the seeds anywhere. Can they grow with cuttings too?

ReplyDeleteI am glad you come up with status report. So you grow bendi too... that would be very nice! About malabar spinach, wait until I have collected enough seeds.., then those interested will get angpau with malabar seeds in.
Cheers,

there is a white flower weed which smells bad, do you know the name. Looks a little like your photo.

ReplyDeleteI am not sure which one you are referring to, but this selom is edible, always taken raw as ULAM.
Pretty flowers and all from vegetables.
ReplyDeletepretty photos. I did not know that about bunga and it's plural bunga-bunga. what a fun way to pluralize a word.
ReplyDelete....greenapplesgarden.com
ReplyDeleteThanks.... vegetable is like any other exotic plants as far as flowers is concerned, only that vegetable is edible.
....Wendy
English will put s at the end for plural, in our case, repeating the word will make it plural. There are exceptions for some words just like English. Thanks.
Cheers, have a great weekend

A great favourite is the okra flower. Bright and bold.

ReplyDeleteYes, Okra flower is the best.., just a head of roselle.
The flowers of selom really look like Queen Anne's lace.
