O-oh... the summer season here is almost over. Afternoon rain showers are becoming more and more frequent. I just want to share some pictures of the flowers in my uncle's garden that has withstand the extreme heat and late afternoon showers. My uncle grows these plants in front of the house, in what little space he has for a garden. And that inspire me even more to push through with the container vegetable garden i'm planning. Flowers, vegetables, fruit-bearing trees which my other family members are cultivating, doesn't fail to bring joy to everyone who sees them.
I love the combination of green and red in this plant, reminds me of the colors of christmas! The tiny flowerets almost cover the whole plant with thin stems and no leaves.
One of the flowers of the yellow bell plant crawling on the wrought iron fence, lovely!
Ooh and some pink flowerets too!
I don't know about you but yellow flowers always reminds me of the month of May. I got a lucky shot of a busy bee taking a sip of nectar of this attention grabbing flower.
I love the color red! Especially on flowers... like this one which i even bend (carefully!) to take picture of.
This plant always has flowers. Yes all year round, it blooms with tiny white flowers. So pretty!

I love this twin bougainvillea blooms. My uncle has several varieties but this white one is my favorite.
Native euphorbia plant. I remember there used to be a craze over these plants several years ago, almost all gardens have different varieties. You can't even plant this outside your fence for fear of being stolen.
Hopefully these flowers brightened up your day. How about ,you what's your favorite flower?

Pretty flower photos. I'm a big fan of cottage style plants like lupin and delphinium. Looking forward to seeing your container garden. I grow some veg in containers (potato, carrot, salads, etc). Blogs are great for learning and sharing information. I like your 'whats in season' at the side of your blog. All the best, Kelli, Northern Ireland.
Thank you Kelli. You have such wonderful words to say. That is right, I have learn and been inspired so much by the blogs I read. This blog is sort of like a "thank you" to all the bloggers that have inspired me and hopefully my progress will be a testament to the joy of sharing to others.
Beautiful blooms. The first one remind my of my childhood memories. We plucked the bloom and suck the honey from the back.
Malay-Kadazan girl : yes, my playmates and I used to do that also... I almost forgot all about that, thanks for reminding me! I'll remember to teach my daughter how to that.
These photos really did brighten my day. Thank you. I'm glad you stopped by my garden to visit earlier too. Your uncle has some beautiful flowers. I'll be back to visit again.
