MY HYDRANGEA TODAY

For several weeks my Hydrangea have been showing me its beauty.

Now, the color is starting turn paler.

Even though it's not as beautiful as before, but I still enjoy the beauty.

In Indonesia, especially Javanese, Hydrangea is called ' Panca Warna'.

Panca means five, and warna means color.

Yes, Hydrangea is an interesting flower, the color always turns following the stage of maturity.

This is my hot chili 'Rawit Besar' today.
I'm finding three red fruits, there are several reddish-green fruits hanging on the branches.
I guess this chili is so hot and will be great for 'sambal' (Indonesian ground chili sauce)
Hot...hot...hot....

GIFT OF THE WEEK : EGGPLANT, CHAYOTE AND LEUNCA.

Such a lovely day...

I got so various vegetables this morning from my coworker.

Two white chayotes, a handful of leunca (Solanum nigrum), and a lot of finger eggplants.

Oh yes... there're a handful of red chilies too, but I forgot to take a picture of them.

These are really nice gift...

The young green leunca is great for eaten raw also stir fried with chili, anchovy, tempe or tofu.

I will save the black ripen leunca for seeds, I want to grow it in my garden.

I think it's better to grow our own vegetables.

The finger eggplants are so cute and great for eaten raw with 'sambal' (ground chili sauce).

Actually I want the ripen fruits for seed, but all eggplants that I got were still young and immature.

Hope next time I find the ripen fruit.

Anyway... thank you so much friend!

You gave me great gift!

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY RUNNER BEAN?

I don't know what's going on with my runner bean.

I sowed two bean on September 1, and transplanted it into raised bed on September 14.

One seedling finally have died a week after transplanted.

And the only one remain on my garden but looks so poor.

The growth looks so slowly, and I think it have stagnant.

The picture above I took on September 21.
And the pictures below I took this early morning.

Although this plant have been bearing some flowers, but they look so small.

The leaves look so small and wrinkled.

This is the only one that I have.
I want to treat this plant, I will do my best for this plant.
I have no experience about growing runner bean.
What is going on with my runner bean?
And what should I do with this plant?
Readers, please give me your advice and share me your experience about growing runner bean.
Thanks before.

PERESKIA ; A BEAUTIFUL SURPRISE...

Finally, my Rose Cactus or Wax Cactus (Pereskia bleo) is blooming.

I have been waiting for about four years to find the blossom.

I don't know how many efforts that I have done to stimulate the blossom.

That's really frustrating.

Finally, I moved this plant from pot to the ground, and I let it grow wildly under the Bilimbi tree, without intensive handling only watering during the dry season.

I took a cutting from our office yard about four years ago, than I planted it on a pot and grow so well, but just the leaves, there's no flower appears.

The Rose Cactus that planted on our office yard grow so well and sometimes show us their beautiful orange flowers.

That makes me so jealous...

Actually on my office yard, this plant grow wildly without any treatment, except pruning, cause this plant grow so fast especially during rainy season.

Although the old stems have sharp thorns, but this plant too beautiful to be ignored.
