My Green theme of Coleus Plant - My mind is always at ease when I am surrounded by greenery. I am still busy with rearrange and relocate my plant containers for some certain plants that does not like the full sunlight. For a showy plant that add excitement to your garden, I really recommend Coleus Plant. It is easy to grow and propagate. The Coleus plant comes in several varieties, each with a unique color of beautiful foliage. I enjoy growing Coleus in plant containers…

Papaya Flowering - Throughout the year, papaya is a fruit that is always available in my garden and on my property. It's great to have papaya fruit because we eat it as a fruit when it's ripe and cook it when it's unripe. The menu item that is commonly available throughout my country is Papaya Salad, which is made from unripe papaya fruit and is known in our local language as "Som Tam." Apart from making Papaya Salad with unripe papaya, I also enjoy making a papaya pickle to…

White Adenium, also known as a Desert Rose - When it comes to gardening, I sometimes feel like it's a game where I have to seek out and collect all of the different varieties of plants and flowers that I absolutely love. It took nearly two years for me to add this White Adenium to my garden collection. I now have white, pink, and a mix of white and pink adenium in my garden. This is the new season bloom of my White Adenium, which had stopped flowering during the rainy…

Euphorbia Milli, also known as Crown of Thorns Plant - Today is a bright and sunny Thursday with no rain, and the temperature is extremely high. I don't take a walk around my property. But I kept myself busy by managing to the garden next to my living room and attempting to group plant containers of various colors of Euphorbia Milli. Euphorbia Milli comes in a variety of colors and varieties, which I have in my garden. I got both small and jumbo Euphorbia Milli flowers in…

Haworthiopsis Limifolia Flowering Buds - How did you spend your Friday? For me, the situation of the Covid-19 new case in my community is extremely stressful, as the new case continues to rise with death. This Friday marks the end of the first week of a two-week lockdown in my community, and the lockdown is likely to be extended for another two weeks. To be honest, I'm not in the mood to go for a walk around my property, so I'm going to spend my lazy Friday with my cats,…

The first Caturday in November - I hope and pray that the number of new cases of Covid-19 in my community decreases, or else the lockdown will be extended indefinitely. After the tragic death of my cats from FPV, only three male cats remain. When those cats get together, there is always a big fight between a big male cat and the other male cats in the family, especially if they are sexually active and ready to mate. My black male cat "Lek" is now displaying aggressive…

Giant Snake Skin Plant or Ornamental Hemp Cactus - I was blown away by the stunning stem of the Giant Snake Skin Plant or Ornamental Hemp Cactus. The stem is long and has geometrically segmented areas that resemble snake skin. Each stem segment will produce a small leaflet that is bright green in color. This Ornamental Hemp Cactus has a beautiful white flower, but without it, each leaflet that emerges from the stem forms a rosette shape. How did you spend your Sunday? I try…

Dracaena or Cape of Good Hope Plant - This is a common succulent shrub that can be found almost anywhere in my country. But this Dracaena, also known as the Cape of Good Hope Plant, has special meaning for me because it reminds me of a special time and memory I shared with my grandfather. My grandfather planted the Dracaena plant for me and my younger brother at our parents' house when we were kids and assigned us to take care of it by watering it before and after school and…
@IamAndy
Pink Crape Myrtle or Pink Crape Flower - Today I am extremely stressed because my community's lock down has been extended for another week by local authority. The trip to visit my parents will have to be postponed. Even though it was dark, cloudy, gloomy, and probably going to rain, I decided to take a long walk around my property that was quite far away from my usual route to clear my mind. Fortunately, there was no rain along the way, and I arrived at this location after…
@IamAndy
Flower of Carambola or Star Fruit - My Wednesday began with a green day due to the rise in the price of BCH. This results in my happy face and not straying away too far from the computer screen for any price changes. So I'm walking around my garden, enjoying the beauty of this tiny flower of Star Fruit or Carambola, which will soon bear fruit for me too enjoy. I planted the Star Fruit tree near my house because I enjoy its fruit, which is high in fiber and a good source of…
@IamAndy
Sunflower Microgreen or Sunflower Shoot - As part of my daily routine, I make an effort to consume fresh fruits and vegetables. And discovered that it is difficult to be certain that fresh fruits and vegetables available in markets and supermarkets are free of chemical and pesticide residues, So, if you have some free time and a spare spot in your garden, I recommend growing your own vegetables to eat at home. However, there are lots of challenges to growing your own…

Friday with Vietnam Rose - The sun isn't shine brightly this morning, but there's a strong winter wind blowing, making it feel cold. I was about to begin my walk around my property when I received a phone call from a village health volunteer informing me that they would come to see me for the ATK Covid-19 test. So I keep waiting for them and enjoy my flowers in the garden in the meantime. I am not a green thumb and have had limited success in planting roses. But for Vietnam…
@IamAndy
White Crown Flower - Although my ATK Covid-19 test was negative yesterday, the village health volunteer informed me that many of my neighbors had positive results. The local authorities will notify us again if there is any possibility of extending the lockdown. if that's the case, I'll be spending my November on a lockdown. I spend my Saturday, as usual, walking around my property to free my mind of those worries and concerns. Actually I had cut down a large number of Crown…
@IamAndy
Solanum Trilobatum fruit - As usual, I began my Sunday by taking a walk around my property. Walking allows me to concentrate and clear my mind of worries and concerns. There are numerous plants with beautiful flowers in my property that grow naturally. Solanum Trilobatum is one of the plants that I did not plant, but it continues to spread on my vacant land. Solanum Trilobatum is a creepy thorny plant. The stems and leaves are dark green, with white spiky thorns, purple…

Mexican Creeper - It's the middle of November, and it's Monday. Time is flying by, and Christmas and New year's Eve are quickly approaching. When I am not in good mood or feeling down, the vibrant colors of flowers in my garden and on my property really help to put my mind at ease. Mexican creeper is one of my favorite flower to enjoy when I'm not in a good mood or need to boost my positive vibes. Mexican Creeper or Coral Vine is one of my landscaping tricks for covering up…
@IamAndy
Flowering of Areca Palm Tree - I'm not going for a walk around my property on Tuesday. However, I spend my time in the garden trimming the branches of plants and trees. I planted areca palm trees in my garden and in a few corners of my house. It adds a touch of greenery with its beautiful feathery leaves and also serves as a great wind screen and privacy hedge. The Areca Palm Tree is a wonderful indoor plant, but I prefer to grow it outside to enjoy its tallest size with…

Oleander Flower - Last night's rain caught me off guard. This morning, the flowers, plants, and trees in my garden and on my property were in bloom. Today is a very busy day for me, and I have a lot of things that I need to handle over the phone. So I walked around my property for a few minutes and came across this pinky beautiful flower that I didn't plant along my property line near the fence. When I get close to this beautiful flower, I feel really bad because it is an…

The flowers in my garden have really helped me to relax. Particularly simple and easy to grow flowers, such as this lovely white Vietnam Rose or Desert Rose, help me to relax my mind and soul. My community's lockdown has been extended for another week by the local authorities. Nothing to say except that the rules and regulations must be accepted and followed. I need to reschedule my trip to see my parents for the next month. I admit that I'm felling very sleepy and unactive…

Time is flying by, and we are almost at the end of our Friday, with the weekend beginning the next day. I'm not in the mood to do anything other than get ready to travel once the lockdown in my community is lifted. I went for a walk around my garden and discovered a flower of Thai Holy Basil leaves. Actually, I don't pay attention to it because I'm only interested in picking the leaves for cooking. Thai Holy Basil has a distinct aroma and is one of many varieties of Holy…

It is a lazy and boring Saturday for me. If I didn't have three cats waiting for me to feed them every morning and during the day, I would most likely not wake up and would instead stay in bed and do nothing. A quick walk through the garden in the early morning revealed the beauty of an unblooming flower of Oxalis Triangularis. Even when it is not in bloom, it retains its beauty. I hope you have a wonderful Saturday and weekend.
@IamAndy
On Sunday, I try to be active and productive. I began my day by walking around my property, keeping myself busy by trimming the trees and shrubs that were overgrown. Especially the Mexican Creeper that I planted to cover the unsightly concrete wall, which need to be trimmed to produce more flowers rather than being completely covered with green leaves. Normally , the Mexican Creeper has a cluster of vibrant pink flowers. But now that I've taken a closer look, I see a single…
@IamAndy
Green Fruit of Star Fruit - I began my Monday with an ATK Covid-19 test, which gave me a negative result. there have been no new case of Covid-19 in my community, and local authorities are expected to lift the lockdown this Friday. I did not go for a walk around my property, but instead spent time in my garden picking Star Fruit or Corambola fruits that had fallen to the ground. There are a lot of them, and I can't eat them all at once. I will ferment the fallen fruits on…
@IamAndy
Small White Morning Glory or Ipomoea Obscura - I discovered the Small White Morning Glory or Ipomoea Obscura creeping and climbing around the vacant land on my property. I don't plant them; they grow on their own. I don't cut or remove them, but rather let them creep over the land to keep the soil moist. Small White Morning Glory is distinguished not only by its white pale to yellow flowering, but also by its heart-shaped leaves and trumpet-shaped flower. For me, the Small…

Haworthiopsis Limifolia Flower - About two weeks ago, I posted a photo of Haworthiopsis Limifolia Flower Buds (https://noise.cash/post/xmr8zgrhj6k). The flowering of Haworthiopsis Limifolia has begun. The flower is not particularly showy in white, with greenish brown midrib and tubular on a tall stalk emerging from the center of the rosette. Even my laziness is still with me, but I try to get out of bed and do something with my day. I started my day early in the morning by…

The colorful of Areca Palm - I wasn't feeling well yesterday and spent the entire day in bed. Today is my last day of community lockdown, and I'm going to the vet with my cats. I don't go for my property walk, but instead enjoy the lovely Areca Palm in my garden, which is showy with its flowers and ripe and unripe fruits. I'm really sad because my black cat "Lek" is having a big fight with my neighbor's cat, who has sneaked onto my property. Lek had numerous wounds all over…
@IamAndy
Passion Fruit Flowering Bud - I am still very busy for Monday because there are so many things that need to be done before I travel to see my parents. Two of my cats have been sterilized since last Saturday, and I have to take my black cat "Lek" to the vet every day to clean his bite wounds. I don't have time to go for a walk around my property, so I settle for a quick walk through my garden. My new Passion Fruit session is about to bloom, and I can enjoy the final stage of…
@IamAndy
Aechmea Chantinii Flower - This lovely Aechmea Chantinii Flower, also known as the Amazonian Zebra Plant, has been blooming in my garden for about two weeks, but I have yet to photograph it. Today, after returning from the vet with my cats, I noticed this snowy red bracts that emerged from the center of its rosette on a tall flower stalk that grabbed my attention. Aechmea Chantinii is a bromiliad native with deep black undertones on its green leaves that contrast with…
