A PINKY CANDLE ON THE RAIN

This is my old fashion collection, a wild plant but so lovely.
We call it as 'Boroco' or 'Kembang Lilin' (Celosia argentea).
Look ... this is mine in my front garden.



It grows so easy and also so fast.
There are two version, the green and red leaves, but the color of their flower are similar.
You can see they grow so healthy side by side on the road side.



They grow so well during the beginning of the dry season, yea... the best season for this plant.



In the beginning of the rainy season, the new plants from self sowing grow so wild so rapidly.
Look... they look so beautiful on the road side.



We can find them grow wildly with the pinky-white color like candles in the rain. 


These flower make the country road looks more beautiful.
So lovely...

LAST FROM THE HYACINTH BEAN

The white hyacinth bean is finishing its peak season
Peak of flowering and harvesting season.
Rainy season have came and this vine will optimizing the vegetative growth, just produce new shoots and leaves.
I think this is the last flowering time this year.
Rain and wet weather is not favorable to initiate flower and the bean too.

GROWING BLACK MUSHROOM

Again....gardening on the kitchen.
Yes, last week I bought three baglogs of 'jamur kuping hitam' or black mushroom on the Agro Expo.
Now, they are grown on my kitchen, beside the sink area.
In this area, the humidity is much higher than on other parts on my house.
They just need a little bit sprinkle of water twice a day.
This mushroom has a great taste.
So delicious for soup and other dishes.
I think next three days I can pick the mushroom for the first time.
Delicious soup will ready to be served soon...
