Patio: Being out in nature

Having a garden that stretches from the front to the back had us unleashed dreams of having a patio for alfresco entertaining, dining, working, etc - just overlooking our garden, our sanctuary, and connecting with nature.

A view of our terrace from patio, jade pothos (Epipremnum aureum) commonly known as 'money-plant' here. Easy-growing-maintenance plant, does well in our humid weather.

[Update May-1,'09] This spot had us the opportunity to capture Tailorbird and Sparrows on video. Do have an entertaining viewing at http://jaimeboey.blogspot.com/search/label/birds





These are my favs and its evergreen but it hardly flowers. Flame Violet (Epicias Kee Wee) http://www.logees.com/prodinfo.asp?number=T5080-2

Episcia - The "peacock plant" or "flame violet". These are the most beautiful of all gesneriads, known for their very colorful, textured foliage. Great under lights or in a warm window. Blooms in blue, pink, red, and yellow. A hint: you'll get more bloom by limiting the number of stolons the plant produces. http://www.robsviolet.com/episcia.htm

[Update Jun-13,'09] Great news, Episcia (mother-plant) has been flowering non-stop since Dec'09. Each bloom could last about 4 days, lipstick red and crispy leaves draws curious stares to touch. 4th propagating-batch started to bud & flower end May'09, all eye-catching on the window sill.




Have fun trying out our reflexology walk, sets for the beginner and amateur.

Stepping on these stones barefeet is almost like connecting to earth.

[Update Jun-13,'09] For beginners, tread the right path and left path for the advance (or the maschochist).
