We love cat... and we have lots of cat whiskers....
Yeah... here they are our Kumis Kucing (Orthosiphon aristatus).
Kumis kucing means cat whiskers.
A beneficial plant that even grows wildly or as a home garden plant.
It well known as a medicinal plant.
It is a member of Labiatae or Lamiaceae family.
I grows it by cutting.
Look... we can see some flower cluster there.
The white flower is so beautiful...
The leaves usually used as traditional medicine for urinary disorder.
Love to see them blooming almost everyday in our tiny garden.
What a fun plant! The blooms do look like cat whiskers! Your front garden is very attractive with the flowers and the beautiful rock wall.
