Whites in the Garden

Its going to be difficult to explain when it come to colours especially when it is white.
You see - you don't really notice it. 
Somehow the whole white thing falls into the background with the rest of the foliage greens and before you know it - its invisibly everywhere.
(or perhaps that's how it appears to my perception)


Again - when a bug sees it - Does it really see it in white?
I saw a documentary where when they see it in an ultra-violet light - these whites are actually brilliant blue.
Ain't that a beauty - transforming all my white into blues.
And again - in a science project that a white light can be split into a spectrum of a rainbow.
Now, Isn't that really a something to consider.


And all the while - I thought that white is only clothed by plants which gives focused in giving out its fragrance. I can't quite make sure why foliage too makes its colours.
Nevertheless - I love the shades of lime, cream & pink in my garden.


What is your White story in your Garden?
Love to hear that Snow white Story.

A Blue Frog Figurine

I'm very sure everyone have more than one frog story. Be it similar to the Frog & the Princess or a fact that many proverbs and legends pertaining them.

My story is simple - I'm fascinated by them. I had more than once rescued all the tadpoles from a puddle and nursed them into baby frogs or toads (really never get to see them once they are out of the water) And they do more good in your garden - keeping all the mosquito at bay.

Not really sure what wrong with my camera setting- I cannot get the right blue in my picture.

The blue that appears to me is mysterious and exotic - here it appeared as a wash-down plastic blue.

Anyway, I wanted to set all the slow growing plants with an exotic look.

These are the plants in the collection:

1) Philodendron Xanadu - planted inside the blue pot

2) Silver Squill - Ledebouria socialis

3) Matchstick Bromeliad - Aechmea gamospepala (I'm guessing - it could be a neoregelia)

4) Cardboard Palm (Cycad) - Zamia Furfuracea

5) Caladium Humboldtii

6) Chinese Evergreen - Aglaonema Valentine

7) Calathea Majestica - (hidden at the back)

Looks like only the Philodendron Xanadu & Cardboard Palms putting up new leafs after planting them in this pot.

I'm glad with my collection coming together with a nice little figurine setting in place.

Right now - the frog is totally hidden - guess it sort of creates a mysterious, secret garden concept thing.

Let me know what you think about this.
