Is morning sickness finally over? I really hope so.I've been missing in action for awhile :P ... nausea overwhelms me throughout the day, it's depressing! I just could not be in the garden hence leaving all gardening duties to 'mother nature'. Hubby and MIL helps with waterings only on hot consecutive days. Terribly grateful having garden maintenance last month to weed, remove weak and old plants, trimmings and thinning everywhere, fertilizing and pesticides.
Suddenly I developed a keen sense of smell. Moths been laying eggs and caterpillar more frequent (weekly) leaving pungent feces and chewed Periwinkle leaves.
So we replaced the 6 feet tall Periwinkle with our beautiful grown Wrightia antidysenterica, now reaching 3 feet tall. The foldable support helps to give it a lift from those heavy downpour.
Planted Peace Lily on Wrightia's old pot, will post it soon. Its other names are Spathe Flower, White Anthurium, White Sails (Spathiphyllum spp.). Perhaps the 'white sails-like' attracted MIL as she loves the sea, ocean. Has air purifying properties, removing toxins from surrounding atmosphere. Love the deep green shiny broad leaves. Made sure its caterpillar-free :P
We've replaced our potted Periwinkles with newer flowering plant, yet to find out its name. Coming soon.
Pretty pink bloom, despited heavy downpour and wet season, and neglect. It's sustaining well compared to Red Christian Dior now naked (leave-less) brown stem. Seeing it about to bloom, gave natural fertilizer (recommended by Rose Nursery).
Desert Rose is budding too :)
Surprised really from the neglect and wet days, and its budding. Mother nature is helping :)
Desert Rose accompaniment with Bougainvillea and Sui Mui for the sunny (sunset) spot. Sadly Bougainvillea losing out most of its leaves from insufficient heat, as if hibernating. Sui Mui, more and more leaves.
Will be posting soon on our revamped flowerbed - design to weather the wet season and daily heavy downpours.
Thanks for visiting :D

Hi,
Good one on morning sickness .I recently found out 1 million children are accidentally poisoned in their homes each year.And also I did find the toxins we use in our home here www.debtfreeliving.healthyhometour.com.I think it's time we all know about the toxins we use.
Thanks,
Camilynn
Are you expecting? Hopefully your morning sickness is really over :)
Such a great rose you have there. I bought 2 pots of rosa centiflora a few weeks ago to replace the dead one I had before but now they seem to be not doing well..isk!
Camilynn - thanks for your informative site. Very good reference and advice on use of fertilizer from storing to correct application. Great work! :)
LamanHati - yes thank you. Much better now, so relieved! 'Rosa centifolia' (http://www.garten.cz/a/de/1408-rosa-centifolia-variegata/) they're beautiful and big! Checkout www.rosegrowing.blogspot.com, he grows healthy roses in Shah Alam.
