WATER JASMINE (Wrightia Religiosa)
Wrightia Religiosa commonly known as Water Jasmine, also known as Sacred Buddhist, Wild Water Plum & Wondrous Wrightia. Its considered a sacred plant for Buddhist - as you can see even the name indicate it so (Sacred Buddhist) and (Religiosa).
Here, my Winter Jasmine had flowered graciously after their heavy pruning. I had downside all their leaves and keep them at bare minimum. I tried to age this plant doing some experiment in making it into a bonsai tree. Whether it is deemed successful or not - one thing for sure - the fragrance that floods in the evening is truly enchanting.
I had planted these from seeds. Now it is finally giving me the results. - the great reward for all the worth of waiting. I had 2 trees - One I kept (this one) and another - I passed to a friend.
He is more critical than me and had chopped off the whole branch leaving a few inches from the roots in making that an ideal bonsai - the problem is: The plant got dormant.

Echinodorus palaefolius commonly known as Mexican Sword-plant is truly enchanting when it gives out its spikes of flowers. Somehow there is always a new flower inflorescent at each buds everyday.
They last until late afternoon and I'm not too quick with my camera before the flower fades. This one is very much an aquatic plant, lacking of an adequate water at the base can be detrimental for this plant.
WHITE ONCIDIUM ORCHID:
My Orchid bloomed at the shades of the Spanish Moss.
Something that I admire the most here is that they seemed to create a symbiotic environment with each other. This orchid is unique - it turns to white when it matures.

Despite your professed tardiness in caring for your plants, they are actually doing very well. Your Water Jasmine (Wrightia religiosa) for example has many blooms which would add some fragrance to your garden. These sprout wildly in my garden too. Its not that easy to make bonzai out of them.
I am glad you are back to posting again. You and I are the same....I water late at night and the poor garden is the very last item that gets my attention. That does not make you a bad gardener!!! :0) David/
Hello James! Well, same same. No time to update my blog as well haha... It' s good to see your white jasmine blooming profusely for you. Very nice and pretty! Sometimes plants make us happy this way. Just when we feel tired, they will sort of give you some reward hehe... Have a great weekend!
Hi James, well, we all get times when we feel the garden may need a little more attention. But hey, look at the results you get.
Guess I'm getting lazy or feeling lethargic.
Hope my garden put-up with me.
Thanks guys for your support.
