A gift from dear friend: Buddleia Davidii

My good blogger friend gave me her extra buddleia davidii or butterfly bush plant when i visited her in July. I have tried to grow this plant from seeds so many times but so far none of the seeds germinate. Thanks a million Kak A for your gift.  It had bloom and produce pink flower. It is said to be fragrant but i never detect its fragrances even when my nose is only mere centimetre from it! My aim now is to get black knight variety

nice small flower

black berbera : the sweetest fig

Of all the varieties of fig that i grow which is already fruiting Black Berbera is the tastiest and the sweetest. This is also the most expensive variety that i bought followed by black madeira.Both are from Portugal. This is the main crop, unfortunately since the plant is small it only bear 2 fruits.

Rarely mentioned flower

I’ve grown this rose moss since i started gardening which was donkey years ago because it is easily available and easy to grow.  Initially i started with deep purple and pink bicolour. Subsequently my collection grows as more hybrids become available. This creeper is not easily killed as long as it is not overwatered.

I rarely get to enjoy its flower because it blooms when i was at work and already wilted when i reach home. Furthermore sheep really enjoyed it.  Recently i repotted it and move it to the front yard. Today I’m not working and managed to snap its photo in full blooms. Enjoy!
