They reall...Wendy - I missed the Donkey's Tail. They really look like the jellybean. I really don't know why it slowly died.<br /><br />Andrea - Yes, I read about the plants which died in your blog. Hope you manage to get new ones to replace them. The orchids at the gate/fence get the best & the most sun in my garden. So far - they are growing wild but no blooms yet. Im banking in the fertiliser which I suppose to use 2 weeks ones - but at most times - I forgot even to do that.<br /><br />One - good to know, do collect the seeds.<br /><br />Stephanie & P3chandran - I guess the climate constantly changing causing havoc to our gardens.<br /><br />Leavesnbloom - I guess its part & parcel of gardening. Thanks for the tip.<br /><br />Belle - Yeah, I guess cacti too are becoming sensitive. Somehow you got your zinnia going - mine is over.<br /><br />Elsie - I think I will just purchase a bunch of mint from a wetmarket for RM1 and enjoy the fragrance for awhile before I use them for garnishing. Putting them in a soil for a week and reusing them somehow gives them a vigour.<br />And yes, I often find them wither away after awhile.<br /><br />Malay-Kadazan girl - Good to know that your zinnias regenerate itself. Thank you for dropping by.<br /><br />Malar - It must be heart quenching to know a desert rose to die especially they are ever so slow growing and very expensive. Hope you manage to reposition them in a non-rainy areas as they tend to die when overwatering takes place.<br /><br />Thank you everyone for your lovely comments.James Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423981835876393119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-56442114361182684162010-10-29T09:18:09.700+08:002010-10-29T09:18:09.700+08:00Few of my plants died too during the rainy season ...Few of my plants died too during the rainy season including my beautiful Adenium! ;-(<br />Anyway it's part of gardening life!Malarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18421349464010347804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-69118150026952573202010-10-23T21:04:46.518+08:002010-10-23T21:04:46.518+08:00Hi James, I think for the annuals although they ev...Hi James, I think for the annuals although they eventually died, they still give us some suprise with self-seeded one. My zinnia died in autumn but I had a nice surprise in winter a few Zinnia self-seeded in our most sunny patch. Now here come spring and I find some more self-seeded Zinnia.Malay-Kadazan girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692400837667241873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-58683675124220804932010-10-20T20:44:47.207+08:002010-10-20T20:44:47.207+08:00I have made many attempts to plant mint.

Some of my plants rotted one by one during the onslaught of rain recently, now its dry hot blazing sun again and even with frequent watering, its better to move the plants in shady places for a while..Its nature's way to create new life, one gone, another will thrive..p3chandanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11103679390426867817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-86382599509808210262010-10-16T07:15:21.215+08:002010-10-16T07:15:21.215+08:00It is easier to accept annuals dying because that ...It is easier to accept annuals dying because that is already a fact of life. But can you guess? Cacti always dies under my care :(<br /><br />The good side about zinnias is that they have a lot of seeds in their dried flower heads which I can scatter around my garden bed and sow them. I started with crimson red and now I am having some bright pink ones.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-80523027291315421152010-10-16T01:10:10.448+08:002010-10-16T01:10:10.448+08:00James how much space is there on these comment for...James how much space is there on these comment forms haaaaah Andrea is spot on we probably have more plant deaths here than you would and I could write quite a list of what died over last winter.<br /><br />I would try that mint again - well worth it as those leaves can be so refreshing to smell. Shade is probably what you need to give some of those plants a helping hand plus use plastic pots rather than terracotta as mositure is lost through the pores of the clay.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting me todayRosie Nixon Fluertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851979959739600135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-90210189279357197642010-10-15T23:23:20.177+08:002010-10-15T23:23:20.177+08:00My mint was hit badly by the earlier prolonged rai...My mint was hit badly by the earlier prolonged rain... died! And some of plants infested with pests... they die slowly... Now that the sun is so hot... my plants are all surviving on my more frequent watering. Always keep fingers crossed... ;-)<br /><br />Btw, that's a lovely zinnia. Glad to see those pretty blooms.

Those you have there are easy to grow, so they are very easily replaced. Malaysia is maybe hotter than us here, that'w what i noticed when i was in KL, but of course you are nearer to the equator than us. But i have a share of dead plants and they are more serious than yours, they are already fruiting trees and many of them died, many species. I wonder if you read my blog on them earlier. Even my orchids were not spared. BTW, i wonder what happened to your Epidendrum which you attached to the gate under the eaves, which i suggested that they need to have full sun, or else they will not be happy where they were!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-33171132481511460852010-10-15T11:44:52.215+08:002010-10-15T11:44:52.215+08:00Too bad about these plants.

That donkey tail was very cute. <br /><br />This summer, some of my new perennials totally faded away, not sure if it's a typical thing for them. <br /><br />But yeah, things die on a regular basis in my garden! :(Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232693432045335251noreply@blogger.com
