Flowers From My Garden

Instead of sharing a food post, I will share some of the flowers from my garden.

Cockscomb flower.
Once you have grown this in your garden, they will self propagate from the seeds fallen on the ground. They will just sprout out of the ground every now and then.
A Gardenia bloom.
Pink Mexican Pertunia (Ruellia Simplex).
Yellow Alder or Buttercup.
Deep Pink Balsam.
White bougainvillea.
Pink Cleome or Spider flower.
This Taiping clock tower is located at 55, Jalan Kota, Taiping.
The original timber building was built in 1881 and was rebuilt with bricks in 1891. It was once used the Town Police Station and also served as a Fire Station. During the Japanese occupation, it was used as a torture center. Today it operates as a tourist information center.


Unless the Lord builds a house, the builders' work is useless.
Unless the Lord protects a city, sentries do no good.
(Psalm 127:1, The Living Bible-TLB)

  14. Your flowers look very pretty! I need to plant my pansies this week and an indoor plant I bought a couple weeks ago. I enjoy this time of year when there's so many plants blooming. I bought some carnation flowers when I was shopping at Fred Meyer for groceries and other items I needed today. Our weather is finally getting warmer, thankfully. Less rain now but we still get a few rain showers. Take care and God bless!

    1. The weather here is hot and the plants dry up easily. I am waiting for the weather to be cooler before I start to plant some edibles. Take care and God bless you. Have a wonderful day.

  17. The cockscomb flower is striking. Must have flower though or the plant probably isn't that attractive.
