Phal princess kaiulani flava

Princess kaiulani flava in bloom.

Phal violacea

Leaves a bit yellow from the strong sun but the bloom pretty as ever !

Its getting rounder

The good amount of rain and increase in humidty is good. This Bellina "chen" is giving larger and rounder blooms. Looks great against the morning sun.

Germinating seeds from dried gouji berries.

I got the fresh seeds to germinate and was curious if the dried ones will also germinate. I soaked the died gouji berries from the market overnight. Extracted the seeds and planted them like the fresh seeds. They germinated within a week.

Same but different !

All from the same seedpod but their flowers exhibit diverse characteristics.

Begonia iron cross gets new growth

I see some new growth on the old leaves which were planted several weeks ago.
