Plant hunting in Cameron Highland

Last Saturday i had a meeting in Cameron Highland. I arrives on late Friday afternoon, went straight to MARDI, 30 minutes before it  was closed, managed to buy 2 pots of raspberry seedlings, a pot of lavender stoeches and this plant with a needle like leaves and ruby red flower. ( forget its name but it is .......glow)

At night I went to night market and bought bought 2 pots of strawberry which are laden with fruits. There are 3 strawberry plants in each pot. I'll try to propagate strawberry from this runner.

Berries

In addition to local fruits i also love to eat berry, my legacy from a stint in Europe. Try to grow berry (raspberry, blueberry, blackberry and strawberry).

Despite doing all that i can to simulate its natural condition, only a few strawberries germinate.

 This strawberry seedling is the sole survivor of caterpillars attack.

This strawberry plant has produced  runners. Now i have 7 pots of strawberry plant . However after 5 months there is still no fruit!

                                     
  But i have mulberry which is the favourite of house sparrow. Most of the time they   end up with bigger share than me.

                                

I also have seedling of local berry ( pokok kemunting) . It is very slow growing; i wonder how long it will take before I can taste the fruit of my labour.
