OUR PORCH TODAY

 

OUR NEW COLLECTION EPISCIA

Episcia is one of my favorite ornamental plant.

My new collection is hanging on the southern balcony.

Beautiful leaf color and pattern.

The velvety texture is really lovely.

Finally I can add more collection in our garden.

This pinkish leaf is really beautiful.

I really love it.

A SELF GROWN COLEUS

So fun... finding self grown Coleus on the raised bed!

As long as I remember, I have never grown this variety. 

I'm not sure, it might the seed spread by the wind or other.

Growing so lush...

Actually I really love coleus.

Coleus is the first plant collection.

You can check my old collections on the past here.

BEGONIA : ANOTHER PROGRESS

Another Begonia that I got last year and grow so healthy.

Look... we could check the stem that I got on October last year in the picture below.

It was on the right side.

The little plant on the center have turned into  two beautiful plants that I have posted before. 

Now... the stems have turned into two beautiful foliage.

The foliage is so beautiful...
I like the edge of the leaf... it seem like a row of thorns...

Thanks God for the beautiful world.

THE POLKA DOT LEAVES

 Every time I pass this pathway, my eyes always stuck on this raised bed.
Yes, this raised bed is full of volunteers.
Lots of self growing plants and some of plants that grown from cutting.

The most interactive plant is Polka Dot leaves.

I took a short  cutting of Polka Dot leaves from my aunt on June.

I planted the cutting on the edge of the raised bed.

Now, it grows like crazy.

Growing here and there.

A beautiful foliage...

Actually, I have two varieties of Polka Dot leaves.

Another one has green color as a base color, and the pinkish splash just in a little amount. 

I took the cutting from a road side last year, when I on the way home from checking a landslide area.

At the first time, I think both of them were the same variety.

But, the leaves looks different each other time by time.

Thank GOD...

BROMELIA STRIPED GREEN

This is one of the tough plant that I have.

I got a little plant from my friend about two years ago.

Then... it grow so lush.

It produce some saplings, and became new plants. 

I have divided the saplings and planted at individual pot.

Right now we have four pots of new bromelia plant.

Very tough plant...

DRYING AREA : EXPANSION

Love to spend time here in our drying area.

We use to dry our wet clothes here.

We need more space to put some new plants, especially ornamental plants.

We moved here some plants from the backyard, after my husband reload the old fiber roof.

We also put four seedling tray on the corner to get best place for their growth.

Now... with the new fiber roof, the roof is much clear than before.

And we get more sun shine, great for the plants.

It seem like a green house... LOL

We also removed the old wooden chairs, and put a pair of chair here.

New atmosphere... 

Enjoy so many color of blooms here...

Enjoy the breeze...

Enjoy the time...

TRADESCANTIA : A NEGLECTED BEAUTIFUL FOLIAGE

That's really embarrasing, I let this beautiful plant grows wildly,  far from my attention. 

I took some cutting from my parent's garden last year, then I planted them in a pot, and let them grow. 

Now, they are dangling on the vertical planter. 

Beautiful foliage... 

The color is so striking! 

The little beautiful pink flower is so interesting. 

Thanks GOD for the beautiful plant... 

FLOWERFUL EPISCIA

Our front yard looks so cheers this morning.

A real sunny morning with a warm sunlight is touching the skin.

The sunshine is making the leaves of copper Episcia looks so fascinating.

Red flowers are blooming happily more than usual.

Usually we only find 2-3 flowers bloom each day.

It's a really beautiful morning.

CREEPING...

Two of our creepers climbed on our front wall.

Both of Syngonium and Philodendron lemon lime grew so lush and high.t Syngonium was growing like crazy.

I think that was not good enough.

Then my husband 'pulled out' the Syngonium.

Look... the imprint of its roots seem very real on the stony wall.

The roots really marked the wall.

We just let the Philodendron lemon lime creeping the wall, and cheering our front yard.
