Pink CNY

This year, my plants seems to be 'enjoying' the Chinese New Year more than I do. The weather was hotter than usual and I stayed indoor most of the time. But my plants, they are sending beautiful flushes of blooms. And it happens to be more of pink ones!

Look, my Desert Rose basking in the sun and shouting for attention...

My bougainvillea that has not been flowering nor growing lushly, bloomed for weeks. I was enjoying how the blooms blushed to pink by the days. Then recently when the rain came pouring, all its blooms dropped... sigh!

In front of the Bougainvillea is the little dwarf Azalea that I propagated from a cutting years ago... sweet?

This pot of dwarf Azalea (mother plant of the Azalea above) which I bought for 2011 CNY, bloomed again -- for this year's CNY :-D The pic below shows how it was before I left home to my hometown for CNY...

This is how it looked now! All buds and flowers opened!!

Close-up view of the gorgeous flowers...

Before CNY, my Medinilla sp. sent out its last bunch of flowers. Lovely sight to behold :-)

Meanwhile, this pot of Japanese knotweed (Polygonum capitatum) that I let grow and then pruned a month ago, has now grown denser and sent out lots of tiny spikes of blooms.

Close-up view of the pink pinheads... interesting?

The other shrub that I pruned was the Chinese Fringe Flower plant. Shortly after, the shrub flowered profusely...

Next, I hope to see my Gloxinia flowering soon. The flower bud below (in the center of the pic) looks rather small now. Still, I hope it will develop properly and the flower would be large.

Also, I hope this spike of blooms from my Coral Ardisia would set fruit and develop into berries. Oh, I am so excited!

And I am happy to see my Peace Lily blooming after a long rest...

To all my Malaysian followers, I hope you have had a good rest (CNY or not!) and now already back to work, haha... 

Here my Senecio confuses 'Sao Paulo' for your admiration ;-)

You have a wonderful day :-)
