A week’s worth of garden - Week 3 of February 2024

 Every Saturday, I go unto my Indonesian garden to see what’s blooming. I cut, soak, and arrange. The flowers go first to the hall and then come home for personal enjoyment.

This week during rainy season, the garden is flourishing.

I pluck a dozen gardenias and leave more on the bush.

Self-seeding, the 8' (2.6 meter)-tall yellow flowers look like monstrous marigolds.

There's a variety of color around one of the planter-ponds.

Vines trail from the upper storey behind this "spaceship" shrub. When it blooms, there are clumps of black and gold flowers.

Along the porch, a burst of color sits in front of the yellow-green "mosquito-repelling" shrub that smells of bitter citrus when touched.

The ferns are happy. This 5' (1.6 meter)-wide bird's nest fern on the 12' (4 meter)-high green wall separating us from the neighbor.
