Colourful Gems

By Stephanie

Whether one calls it cat's whiskers or bat flower, Tacca chantrieri Andre blooms non-stop. The plant is most pleasing when the stalk of bloom appears up-right and sizeable. Do you think that the bloom look scary? Sometimes I think they are, especially when it is fully opened like the one in the pic below :P
Regardless, every time I spotted the bloom, I feel glad. Firstly due the fact that the plant just bloom without much attention and secondly, it has the ability to bounce back quickly after I have neglected or forgot to water it.

Forever Roses® roses are still in bloom this week. A peach-pink flower appeared and it has really put a smile on my face. I have been wanting a flower of this colour in my garden! Now I finally have one.

As always, my Rosa 'Othello' flowers -- no matter rain or shine. Truly a wonderful rose to have. The bloom is so bright and sizeable. I am so so glad :-D

Well, here's my Low Baby's Breath (Gypsophila murals 'Garden Bride'). Though small in size, its flowers are like sparkling all around the low growing bush.
