flowers for today

Somehow flowers sparkle better and sweeter over here in Tanah Merah. The climate is slightly cooler being in the north of the peninsular. With daily burst of monsoon rains, temperature dips further. Kakdah added a few orchids to her orchids collection.  The rest of flowering plants are those brought here from Putrajaya. The plants had to travel far, for a week succumb to jet lag (or rather lorry lag) , and now they are back to their flowering mood.

  14. Steph:.... Veggie just like fish. Monsoon time, they are expensive due to lower haul and harvest. Most delicate veggie can't cope with monsoon downpour.

    Theanne:.... they have gone over the "lorry lag".

    Appalachian Feet:.... something we over here have taken for granted... flowering all year round.

    fer:.... that yellow orchid is very common. They grow well with minimal care, so they dont fetch high price.

    Doc:... yes fresh flowers coming from old plants.

    Ann:... There is one Tanah Merah in Kelantan.

    Pity them, potted plants had to endure such a long journey. We manage to stop as we like, eat, drink and ease ourselves. But plants just endure things... yea, lorry lag.

    Gardening is fun. Come and see for yourself the next time you overshoot to Kelantan.

    Not too many, but enough to keep Kakdah smiling everytime she opens the front door.

    ~Ever Green Tree
    Good luck to your vegetable gardening. hopefully the harvest is bountiful. I am a little bit reluctant to push through veggie, considering the monsoon rains.

    ~Aaron.
    It is cooler here, so the plants and blooms are happy.

    ~P3chandan
    flowering plants is very much kakdah's territory...... I just help here and there.

    ~Pam
    Yes, they are delicate indeed. But we can never guess when the orchid is ready to bloom...

    ~Malar
    We grow Purplish white flower plants in two pots. They just grow and bloom all the time.
