Succulent arrangements

Got these from Neihu Flower Market couple of weeks back. The stall had several arrangements for sale. Succulents nicely arranged and tied to a piece of drift wood. The large ones were really lovely but too much work to try and relocate them. These were smaller ones @ NT 500 each. That price won't even buy the plants here !

Olive

Olive ripening after quite a long wait. Its beginning to look like an ozzie variety much smaller than the european ones. I vagely remember the vendor saying that its a warm growing variety from australia. The olives do look very much like the ones I saw in melbourne recently.  Now I am tempted to go back to the nursery to pick up the european one I saw last week. They promised delicious olives. If I can get them to fruit !!

Phal luddy

Moved this Phal luddy to a brighter area. Its blooming and flower is big but flower count is low for now with energy being channeled to support a side growth.

A Gigantea hybrid

Taiwanese gigantes hybrid. Not at prime. Second time blooming and have been struggling to grow well. Bloom is medium size but I think it can grow larger over time.

Here comes the sun....

After a few sessions of heavy rain, this poor Cattaleya portia looks totally exhausted.

My jujube plant think it's a grape vine

My jujube plant is fruiting like a grape vine. So many fruits....  I trimmed down the plant and fertilised the plant a few months back. The flowers although tiny are also scented so this is a nice plant to have around the garden. I am thinking of propagating it.
