Thank you very much for your visits and nice comments.<br /><br />Patty, growing flowers in pots saves a lot of space, hence I can grow more varieties of plants in my small garden.<br /><br />Luna, you are so right. Container gardens are like mobile gardens. My precious plants in pots has moved house with me twice and some came from faraway places.<br /><br />Lui, I hope I got the right name for your lovely flower. <br /><br />P3Chandan, Yes! It is bunga kantan. To plant bunga kantan, you need to get the rhizomes from somebody e.g. neighbour or friend who is growing this plant. You can try asking the seller at the wet market or pasar tani and ask the nursery people. You have to ask because they do usually do not display such plants at the nurseries. If you come down to Klang, do bring along your maid. You can dig my garden for the rhizomes ;-)<br /><br />Orchid de dangau. Our little country has many useful and exotic native plants. My aim is for a truly Malaysian garden style.<br /><br />Malar, glad you like my ‘rojak’ garden.<br /><br />Kitchen Flavours, it takes quite some time for the tumeric rhizomes to shoot. You need to cover the rhizomes with soil and only water it when the soil is dry, otherwise it will rot.<br /><br />Bom, butterflies treat my garden as a birthing centre. If I improve on my skills at raising caterpillars, I will convert my garden into a butterfly maternity centre, lol.<br /><br />Wendy, I am smiling about ‘sticking a tongue at us’. The plant sellers call this plant “Hung Wan Tong Tow” in Cantonese, meaning ‘arrival of good fortune’<br /><br />LC, yes, Tibouchina flowers are as lovely as a princess. They can be easily propagated by stem cuttings.<br /><br />Mac, I am surprised that you can easily get takeaway beef rending and lemongrass chicken in Australia!<br /><br />Barbara, the costus blooms lasts for ages and most of the time, it looks as though the plant is flowering non-stop. I like the name French Kiss too.<br /><br />Lotusleaf, in Malaysia, the pink torch ginger grows wild in the jungles and empty land. If you bring them into your garden, I would like to caution you that some people find them invasive with their roots everywhere. <br /><br />Darla, I’m so glad you like my pink gingers too. I have sacrificed a lot of space for my beloved torch gingers but I think they are really special.<br /><br />Rosey, gingers are native plants here, so they are very easy to grow. Yeah, I too am fascinated with how names of lipsticks colours and plants are intertwined to the extend I wonder which came from which.<br /><br />Melanie, it is less messy and more convenient to use powdered tumeric. I often get my fingers and nails dyed yellow when I handle the raw ginger. However, the aroma and taste of cooked pounded fresh ginger is quite different from powder seasoning. I can chew on it and enjoy their subtle flavour in my mouth.<br /><br />I hope that my Malaysian readers will be encouraged to grow more native plants in their gardens. Many of our native plants are useful, edible and have many medicinal properties.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-65756469920343713592010-11-16T06:15:10.573+08:002010-11-16T06:15:10.573+08:00This is a wonderful series of photos.
