The Green Connection - Part 1

Sometimes Green is just not enough.
I'm pretty sure those who goes hunting looking for variegated plants
will testify that colours truly makes all the difference in landscaping.
The challenge however it keeping them all together.
It is something like keeping all the fish in an aquarium
making sure one doesn't eat the other.
Likewise - some plants just can't handle another strong plant overshadowing them.

The secret is constantly checking and adjusting and changing them
according to their need.
Once established - they are quite stable.

In this collection:

1) Red Flame Ivy
2) Joyweed
3) Devil's Ivy.
4) Chinese Croton
and some of which I had yet to discover their species names.

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.

Cleared the Messy Garden

Finally I decided to put the Costus into a planter box spacing and just keep the big pots with Coleus as the mains. I had ditched the Angelonias as they seemed to be messy here.
Hopefully these will prove to be neat looking and beautiful for months to come.

I just kept one good looking blue Angelonia here. My Ground Orchids are blooming gloriously this season and few of other novelties that requires to make mention. I might come to that later in more detail as I need to clean up the internal side of my garden.
