This pink rose exudes a very nice fragrance which is similar to that of Body Shop's Wild Rose Hand Cream.

After 3 months of waiting from flower to fruit, my little pineapple is ripe now.
The fruit is small but very sweet and tasty, just enough for DH and me.
Nothing beats the joy of eating a home-grown fruit "fresh from the tree".

Róże i passiflora są piękne, ale kolorowe pnącza bugenwilli są cudowne. Ja kocham je i dziękuje za ich pokazanie. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteRoses and passion flower are beautiful, but the colorful bougainvillea vines are wonderful. I love them and thanks for the show. Yours.
an awesome selection! I can't believe you got a pineapple. That's so cool! I love your bougainvillea and that moth orchid is also so interesting.
ReplyDeleteYour blooms are beautiful and how nice to be able to do your own pineapple.

Your roses and bougainvillea are so beautiful! And what an adorable pineapple.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers :-) I am also wondering how long after planting the pineapple head before it bears fruit?
ReplyDeleteI would also love to have a bougainvillea like yours, i saw it in garden shows. However, what i saw was maybe not well planned, as the growths of variety differ, so not nice for the single grafted plant. It would be lovely if all the varieties have same rates of development. I also would love to trade with you the roses, mother has the red thornless but scentless. My Red pineapple is still immature but already big. The other one of a different variety has not fruit yet.
ReplyDeleteGiga, I am now dreaming of bougainvilleas hanging from European balconies.
ReplyDeleteWendy, Cher, Spurge, the pineapple was grown in a flower pot from the crown of a store bought fruit. In Malaysia, it is easy to grow pineapples successfully this way.
Mama Pongkey, it takes about 2 years for a pineapple plant to bear fruits if grown from the crown and about 1.5 years if grown from suckers/offshoots.
Andrea, you are right. I will need to learn how to prune and trim the bougainvillea to achieve the overall picture I like. Both the pink roses featured in this post have a nice fragrance. I really like the first one which has the rose fragrance I have always imagined it to be. My red roses have big thorns, very mild fragrance but the flowers are beautiful ^_^
Your first rose looks so perfect. Unlike the exploded and the ruffled type this one look so elegant. Also enjoyed looking at the passionflower - its sure looking exotic.
ReplyDeleteI have nominated you for the Versatile Blogger award. Check it out in my latest post. You have a great day!
aloha,
ReplyDeletebeautiful roses i can't grow them in my humid area, i've seen those fourt in one bougies, they look great....thanks for the wonderful garden tour :)
Lovely closeups for this time around. I like all of your flowers, but especially the bougainvillea closeups. I guess I've never really looked past the bracts to see the tiny flowers. David/:0)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! The Roses and Bougainvilleas took my breath away! I'm so jealous--I can't grow Bougainvilleas here. :-(
ReplyDeleteGlad your passiflora is blooming. Mine is regular in giving sweet fragrance .
ReplyDeleteAm eying your pineapple... bet it was sweet and juicy.... no?
ReplyDeleteLovely blooms, Autumn Belle. I've never seen a bougainvillea with different colors of blooms--stunning!
ReplyDeleteVisual treat of colors! Pineapple looks delicious and juicy. Was it?
ReplyDeleteI love your old English rose which I cultivate too, simply for its lovely fragrance. I feel terribly nostalgic looking at your passiflora. I once had this vine. Unfortunately it did not grow back after some hard pruning.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos. so many shades of pink :)
ReplyDeletepretty blooms! I like your roses. My garden roses are struggling to live! ;(
ReplyDeletePineapple? Wow!
I could almost smell that heavenly pink rose, which I know from my childhood days. Alas, I can't find it in any nursery here:(
ReplyDeleteWhat a breathtaking assortment of flowers. How lucky you are.
ReplyDeleteMy first time to see a Passiflora lauriefolia and I'm fascinated with the color and its apearance. You have so many attractive colors of blooms in your garden!
