My Christia obcordata has been flourishing lots of attractive butterfly-shaped leaves and pretty dainty blooms. This week however, the shrub turned a bit leggy. The leaves might have dried and fell to the ground due to the drier and hotter weather. Well, time to give the shrub a little 'hair cut' ;-)
The other plant that would probably need some pruning is my dwarf Arundina. I love the combination color of its flowers -- yellow, purple and white.
Interestingly, my little Water Lily flowers blossoms the same colours as the dwaft Arundina. Though the form is different but still as pretty.
The purple color shows more at flower bud stage...
The flower that has deeper purple or blue is the true flower of the Sandpaper Vine or Purple Wreath (Petrea volubilis). The sepals are in light purple.
The vine has been blown over by the strong wind a few months ago. The top was actually down, touching the floor, while the pot was not moved at all. I quickly ran out to bring the poor vine back to an upright position. Thank goodness, it survived that bent ;-)
Smooth Asters (Aster laevis) are smiling towards the sun -- must be loving the sunshine a lot!
I thought the Medinilla seeds would be in white only. This time round, one of the bunches turned purplish in color.
Perhaps an annual daisy? Well this little bush has been flowering non-stop since it was planted in my garden two months ago. Like the Smooth Aster, this daisy loves the sun a lot also. But I really hope that it will blossom forever.
Btw, Purple People are people who loves the color purple and all things purple. Are you one of them?
To all my Chinese readers, have a very happy Chinese New Year!
