I absolutely love the beautiful and easy-to-care-for Vietnam Rose. If I don't know what to plant on my empty field, Vietnam Rose is always at the top of my list. I planted Vietnam Rose as a ground cover in this area less than a month ago and am now enjoying its lovely blossom. I wish you all a wonderful Monday.

My hectic Tuesday has had me busy since early in the morning. This week has a lot of tasks that need to be accomplished. Since yesterday, young trees, fruit trees, and banana plants have arrived. These young plants will rest for one week at the location where they will be planted. Some Vietnam Rose Flowers that I planted as a temporary ground cover will be removed and replanted in the new spot. Today, the white flower of the Vietnam Rose has helped me relax my mind after a…
Wednesday is another hectic day for me. Since the last rainfall two days ago, the weather has returned to normal, with temperatures remaining exceedingly high. In the afternoon, I take a break at my junk yard, where I store gardening tools and equipment. The Pink Dendrobium Orchid that I planted and hung in the basket has begun to blossom, and it is very gorgeous. Wishing everyone a wonderful Wednesday.
Even though it is a sunny day, the weather is cool because it rained the night before. I can spend more time on my property marking the locations where I will plant the new young trees and plants. I planted trees and a variety of plants as ground cover in some areas to keep the soil moist. With its green foliage and stunning white blossom throughout its blossoming bloom, the typical Spider Lily with green leaves is one of my favorite plant to keep as a ground cover. How did…
This area of my property is vacant, and I have no plans or ideas on what to plant. However, it is fantastic that this place is organically populated by Solanum Trilobatum Plant. They now have beautiful purple blossoms that I can see from afar. For its common name, Solanum Trilobatum is also known as Red Pea Eggplant. It is a perennial herb with thorns underneath the leaves and even on the fruit stalks. The shrub produces beautiful purple-violet flowers. Fruits are small and…
My three kitties are the first thing I see in the morning. They are a part of me, and I am happy with them. Today's weather is pleasant, with brilliant sunshine, which makes it a perfect day for bathing and cleaning my kitties. My youngest cat, "Ginger," is always the last one to be bathed and cleaned. Ginger always waits patiently alongside me for his time to bathe and brush his hair. Ginger is a playful, hyperactive boy who enjoys running and discovering new things. Every…
Today is a cloudy Sunday, so I decide to go for a walk in my garden before it rains. The noni plant is an exotic plant that I have in my garden. It is a tiny shrubby tree with tubular white blooms. The fruit is huge and yellow-greenish-white in color, with a pebbled surface. The ripe fruit has a distinct cheese-like, unpleasant odor. I love its small bloom that sprouts from the tubular. For its distinct aroma, we use the leaves in Thai curry or wrap them over fish for…
After raining all night until noon, the rain has finally stopped. After the rain has ended, I rush around my property looking for any damage or flooding. With their new sparkling green leaves, it seems that all of my plants are pleased with the rain. The dragon fruit has begun a new fruiting cycle. The flowering bud is so tiny and incredible that it will transform into a juicy sweet dragon fruit. Happy Monday to everyone!
I strongly recommend Vietnam Rose or Portulaca to anyone who enjoys colorful flowers that are easy to care for. I really enjoy planting them as a ground cover in any empty space when I don't know what to plant so that I can later take them and put them somewhere else. I planted this Vietnam Rose, as seen in the photo, approximately 3 weeks ago in a hanging pot, and it has now begun to form floral buds, so I will soon be able to enjoy the variety colors of Vietnam Rose Flower.
The rain continues to fall on and off throughout the day, so I limit myself to my home and enjoy the plants and flowers on my balcony. The Mexican Sword Lily Plant continues to blossom, especially after rain. This aquatic plant has a gorgeous white blossom and is very easy to care for. Have a wonderful Wednesday, everyone.
It shocked me to see this snake on the lawn when I was enjoying my garden. I'm so glad my cat "Tiger" is with me, making noise and ready to tackle that snake; else, I'd be walking nearby and getting bitten by it by accident. After my cat made a noise, the snake moved to a neighboring area. I should be extremely careful when enjoying my garden, and I should make a noise to alert the snake to my presence.
Thailand's National Mother's Day is a public holiday today. I'd want to take it easy, but I saw a snake in my garden yesterday, so I need to clean it up and mow the lawn. There are many shrubs that need to be trimmed, as well as certain tree branches that need to be chopped, in order to provide more light and a less dense habitat for creatures such as snakes. After a long day of cleaning and clearing my garden, the gorgeous blossom of the Areca Palm is a beautiful surprise.…
My last rain was approximately 3-4 days ago, and the weather has returned to normal, with extremely hot temperatures and plenty of sunshine during the day. I didn't have anything planned for this Saturday, so I spent it cleaning and bathing my three kitties. It's time to enjoy my plants and flowers on my balcony after spending time with my three cats. Today, one of the Rain Lily bloomed with such a gorgeous light yellow color that it completely filled my Saturday.
I was fascinated by the beauty of the Coleus Plant, which has a unique capacity to change color depending on the amount of sunlight it gets. My Coleus in the photo is being placed in a shady area, thus its color will be more on the green side. However, if I set them where they will be exposed to more sunlight, the color will become more red and darker. Nature's beauty has always amazed us. Have a wonderful Sunday, everyone.
In my garden, Gac Fruit is the exotic and super fruit. I'm overjoyed because it's finally bearing fruit. Gac Fruit is high in carotenoids (especially ß-carotene and lycopene), antioxidants, and other nutrients. Vitamins A, E, and C are also abundant in the fruit. Gac Fruit is a seasonal melon fruit that is only found in Southeast Asia and Northeastern Australia. Gac Fruit fruits are round or oblong in shape and have tiny spines on the exocarp. When Gac Fruit ripens, it…
It has been raining heavily since last night and shows no signs of subsiding, despite the fact that it is currently only a light rain. Several locations surrounding my property have been flooded, but thankfully there has been no flooding or damage to my property. On this Tuesday, I have nothing planned other than to enjoy my plants and flowers on my balcony. My Oxalis Triangularis has begun a fresh blooming session with a nice light purple color. I try to keep my Oxalis…
There was heavy rain again last night, but it is wonderful that there is no rain today with plenty of sunshine. With no more rain, the water level of flooding at my neighbors' property will drop significantly. My Dragon Fruit bud, which I showed you the other days, cannot survive with so much rain and moisture in the air for several days. This beautiful bud, I believe, will be destroyed by the ants that cause its frailty and inability to withstand rain. Even though I lost…
For this Thursday, the sun is shining brightly and it is extremely hot. I spent my morning inspecting my property because my neighboring property was flooded. In the afternoon, I visit my garden before taking a rest. Adeniums are blooming profusely in my garden. But it's the light pink Adenium shading that catches my eye. Pink Adenium in two tones is a lovely color. Even though they received a lot of rain, which turned their leaves dark green and shiny, they still produced a…
I have been so blessed that I have not purchased any fruits for many years because there are plenty of fruits available in my garden and on my property all year. For me, bananas are a must-have fruit. In my garden and on my property, I planted a variety of bananas. Aside from the banana fruits, the banana shade is always beneficial to my young trees. This banana photo was taken in my garden, and I need to cut it before the birds and squirrels eat it. Have a wonderful Friday,…
The heavy rain that fell last night had stopped by midday today. When the rain stopped, I rushed around my property, checking for irrigation and flooding. I'm relieved because nothing has been damaged. My neighboring property is still flooded, and it appears that it will take a month or so for the water level to drop. Before taking a break in the afternoon, I spent some time in my garden. Even though the weather is gloomy today, this lovely Pink Adenium has brightened my…
I started my Sunday early because the heavy rain began yesterday afternoon and continued all night until now. I'm afraid of flooding on my property, so I can't wait for the rain to stop before checking the irrigation system. Some of my property has been flooded, but not severely. I am so lucky today that I can witness the open blossom of this Dragon Fruit Flower in my garden. The beauty of its open blossom is truly a phenomenon that helps to peace my mind. Have a wonderful…
Sorry for not interacting much over the last few days; I spent most of my time outside, around my property. Since yesterday afternoon, it has been pouring nonstop again. The majority of my neighboring properties are flooded, with water levels hovering around 1 meter above ground. My property and land are unaffected, but I must send several water pumps to help my neighbors in discharging water to vacant land to avoid crop damage. I planted this Red Adenium a long time ago in…
It's another hectic and busy day for me. There hasn't been any rain since last night, which is great because the water will naturally drain. I feel really sorry to my neighbors for the flooding and allowed them to discharge water onto my vacant land to avoid their crop flooding and loss. For the past few days, I've spent the majority of my time in my garage, where I keep tools and equipment. It has pleasantly surprised me with lush greenery and trees that I planted many…
Today's weather began with bright sunshine and became extremely hot during the day. Then, from the afternoon until now, it has been pouring heavily. I'm not feeling well and need some fresh lime juice to brighten my day and boost my Vitamin C levels. It's wonderful that I was able to pick some limes for my lime juice before it started to rain. How did your Wednesday go?
My property's surroundings are still flooded. There is no rain during the day, but there is heavy rain every night for the entire night. As a result, it appears that the flood will take some time to recede. After a long day at work, I always go to my garden to unwind. My dragon fruit has begun to bear fruit, and I will soon be able to pick it and enjoy its fresh and sweet taste. Have a wonderful Thursday, everyone!
It's a bad day for me because I'm suffering from a neck sprain caused by my poor sleeping posture. Because I can't easily move my head, I need to limit my head movement. If nothing goes well, I'll have to see the doctor the next day. The weather is gloomy, and it seems to be raining again at night. Flooding has persisted around my property, and it will take several months for the water level to recede. I only went for a walk around my garden to get away from my boring day.…
I'm still in pain from my neck sprain, but I'm feeling better than I did yesterday. Even though I need to limit my movement, I was worried about flooding last night. Today there is no rain and plenty of sunshine, and I am hoping that this will help the flooding to subside. Greenery surrounds my property, which is replenished by rain. The color green helps to calm my mind. The noni flowering bud catches my eye because of its unique texture and shape. Morinda Citrifolia is the…
As usual, I got heavy rain last night, but the rain had no effect on the weather during the day. Flooding near my property still exists. I'm feeling better after my neck sprain, but I don't do much except enjoy my garden. Neoregelia Johannis is a Bromeliad variety that has begun to bloom. This flower bloom reminded me of my mother's garden, where I used to enjoy and witness Neoregelia Johannis's flowering bloom three months ago when I was visiting my parents.
It rained heavily again last night and only stopped an hour ago. The flooding on my neighbor's property is getting worse. After the rain stopped, I went to my garage, where my team was busy preparing a water pump for an emergency. One lovely pink rose surprised me, despite the fact that I had removed and cleaned the plant bed of my roses in the garden many months ago. Later, my staff informed me that this pink rose had been rescued and was being kept in a pot plant near the…
I had no more pain from my neck sprain, so I spent the day around my property preparing a retaining wall and a water pump in case of flooding. It's another hectic day for me, and I'm spending it in my garage. But it's great that I have Adenium's vibrant red color to brighten my day.
Even though there hasn't been any rain in the last two days, I'm still keeping an eye out for any heavy rain that could cause a flash flood on my property. This massive Bird's Nest Fern is taking up space in my garden, and I'm not sure where to relocate it. I planted this Bird's Nest Fern many years ago, and it has grown to be about 1 meter in diameter. I simply love the bright green color of its new leaves, which have sprouted in the center after being refreshed by rain.…
