The Messy Garden - The 5th Series

















If you had followed through my constant experiments of my Messy Garden Series, you would totally understand my predicament of this constant never ending change that take place in this section of my garden going wild & messy.

Well, I guess these things happen. One of the hangers of this flower pot had snapped and the plant left dangling. Apart from the rest of the plants spraying itself forth here and there. This time I totally lost the idea that they will ever do well for the next coming 3 months.

Hope this last till Christmas as I really need to concentrate on other areas as they need attention.
Will keep posted on the updates.

























And so this what happened:

I had removed the Joyweed and installed only the Spider plants together attached with it Trailing Water Melon Begonias as the front-liners.

The bottom:
Costus were once they were in pots now were nicely tucked within the brick space and they are growing taller and the flowers more richer compared to the previous installations.

Garden Update - August 2013






















Its been about 2 months after the last reset.
These garden plants and they are behaving very well. 

I really like how the Coleus plants standing up well with their coloured foliages. The Costus had well behaved too growing in a well manner at the background.

Usually they will spike out from the original position and span out upfront blocking whatever plants that is in front of them. 
This time around - it really look satisfactory to me.

Blue flowers are coming out well in my garden. 
Thanks to my friend who had passed to me his garden plants - He now wants to focus more on planting Orchids.

This is how it looked like after the heavy pruning

Garden Update - August 2013























On my earlier post, I mentioned about the Bleeding Heart Vine.
Just around the corner these are the other residence that somehow forms the background around it.
I often prune and braid these vines and my other plants become visible once again.
Here are the residence:
Variegated Bougainvillea, Firecracker plant & Variegated Costus.

My Ground Orchid seemed to going strong for another month. I noticed more flower spikes sprouted.
Its been a little more of a jungle here and may have to find a weekend or a holiday to reset this area again.
Time seemed to be a big issue in gardening.

When I find the time, as always: its always raining.
