Seasonless Little Garden
Sunflowers originate from America where seasons are permanent feature governing how plants should behave year after year. Putrajaya where I live, is tropical therefore season is seamless, always a hot and wet summer throughout the year. We just had a delightful season of blooming sunflowers in the garden. Now we are ready to see sunflowers making a comeback with seeds saved last season.

Another eight of them are placed close to the site where the old papaya once grew mighty high. The other three are placed on the vegetable bed replacing the place once filled by eggplants. This time round, it will be interesting to see how two plants fare within the constraint of a container. The light yellowish green is a familiar colour for sunflower leaves, and will soon be the focal point.

ReplyDeleteSunflowers are such a hardy breed and so cheery. Keep us posted on their growth.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed growing sunflowers so much this year. I can't wait to grow some next year from the seeds from this year so I can be like you :-)
ReplyDeleteI just did a post about sunflowers too - mine are just starting to bloom. Glad to see yours are working out for you!
ReplyDeleteLooking good Bangchik! Love to see plant growing healthily like these that you have. Yup, we can have sunflower whole year round :-D
ReplyDeleteI love sunflowers...nothing happier!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! Everything looks very healthy!
ReplyDeleteHealthy looking plants. Where the sunflower is, surely I'll find the sun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visits and comments.
ReplyDeletethey are growing alright, no pest
attack so far. Alphids attacked a
cluster last growing season. The
interesting part is to see if the
plant will produce single or multiple
flowers.
Cheers, bangchik
