On the last of September I took some Gomphrena and Cosmos seeds from a country roadside.
Then I sowed it on the east raised bed near my bedroom.
The Cosmos grew rapidly, but the Gomphrena looked so poor.
Maybe the seeds were immature.
So, I only found a little plant remain on the bed.
Then I moved it into a big pot together with my citrus.
Now... the little plant is giving me a striking color in my eastern back yard.
Here, this flower is called Kembang Wudel or Bunga Pentol Korek.
A simple plant, with its simple flower...
Please enjoy the beauty...
It's a lovely colour & it does seem happy where it is now.
ReplyDeleteYes, Sometimes I see this plants is grown in a group or plot to give great color and shape on a flower garden or park. A simple plant but looks so special on a landscape
DeleteThe seeds for this flower are sold here and the flowers are often dried,
ReplyDeleteYeah, the dried gomphrena is usually used in so many handycraft and flower's arrangement.
DeleteI haven't seen this flower, it is an interesting one for sure, at least you got one nice plant from your efforts.
ReplyDeleteCollecting plants is my hobby, especially a rare or old fashioned plants. This is an usual plant here, especially in middle and lowland. But now, we only find it on the park or a few amount of home garden.
DeleteI do not know this flower. It is very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreetings.
Maybe it's a summer flower in your climate.
DeleteHave a nice week!
Lovely colour, it looks happy enough, and now you can harvest your own seeds from your own plant :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, that's right. I have collected a few seeds from this plants yesterday. I hope I will get more seeds for the next planting.
DeleteThank you for visiting
I use to see this plant while young! Now I seldom see them. I planted them before but it never strive in my garden....
ReplyDeleteYes, this plant was very popular in my country, when I was a little girl. As an old fashion plant, this plant is so rare now
DeleteEndah, It's more cheerfull if we could plant it in variety of colours - pink, light pink and white.
ReplyDeleteYes, it must be so cheer. I have ever bought a package of mix seeds of gomphrena several years ago, but what a shame, no seeds were germinated.
DeleteI have never seen that plant before...It is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHere, sometime the seeds were flown by the wind, fallen down, germinated and grown wildly on the country road side.
