We woke up early last Sunday morning and we went for our early morning walk. After a light breakfast, we walked back home. Then I swept the porch area, fed my guppies and watered the plants.
Cockscomb flowers in front of my house.
I noticed many baby plants around these plants. Will be expecting a lot of cockscomb flowers when they started to grow and flower.
Harvested 2 bitter gourds from my garden.

So let us celebrate the festival,
not with the old bread of wickedness and evil,
but with the new bread of sincerity and truth.

The bittergourds look amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie.
DeleteThe Cockscomb are beautiful. They are like velvet.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny. They do look like velvet.
DeleteThe colorful plant is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margaret.
DeleteDelicious home cooked dinner with home grown vegetables. Love the prawns and luffa and eggs dish. Can just eat that for dinner with rice. How did you grow that flower - from seeds?
ReplyDeleteThe cockscomb plant is grown from seeds. Actually, the seeds start to fall and self propagated and small plants will sprout out around the parent plant.
DeleteSuch a beautiful vibrant colour of the flower, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mamas.

Thank you, Francisco.
Delete...I hope that you had a wonderful Merdeka Day!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom. It was a quiet day spent at home.
DeleteSounds like a perfect Merdeka Day celebration!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Martha.
DeleteYour Cockscomb flowers are just simply gorgeous! I need to try raising them again. But have tried two or three times and they just don't seem to do good in my yard.
ReplyDeleteOver here, it is easy for the plants to grow without much care. All it needs is plenty of sunlight and water.
DeleteLovely pictures and the food looks really good!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice sunday...
Titti
Thank you, Titti. Have a nice new week.
DeleteWe call them Bitter Melons here in Hawaii. And, yes, they are stuffed with pork hash and fried. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gigi.
Deletedi tempat saya namanya pare dan jarang disukai karena rasanya yang pahit
ReplyDeleteOrang muda memang tak suka, lebih disukai oleh orang dewasa.
DeleteHappy belated independence day. I love all the dishes especially the luffa with eggs.
ReplyDeleteI too like the luffa with eggs.
DeleteI like the stuffed bittergourd!
ReplyDeleteYes, I like that too.
DeleteYou cook well and seemingly so effortlessly. It would have taken me ages to come up with that stuffed bittergourd and you have other dishes too.
ReplyDeleteThe stuffed bitter gourd took a bit of time but the other 2 dishes are very simple ones.
DeleteWe need celebrations at this time to stay happy
ReplyDeleteSo true. Have a happy week. Take care and stay safe.
DeleteThat's quite a feast, and the flowers are very fancy. Mr. BA has something similar in his garden, in both red and yellow.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi. Yellow is rare but red is common here.
DeleteSe ve todo muy bueno. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
DeleteWow! Beautiful blooms.Thanks for linking up with Garden Affair.
