I hope it works out. The senduduk reminds me of my late father who thought me about its use to stop bleeding. He taught me this during a field trip to the mining pool when I was little. These senduduks were growing wild there.<br /> <br />Mia, I’m glad you like my ginger flower. It smells great too. I think very therapeutic. <br /><br />Barry, thanks for the visit. My senduduk has woody stems and it grows upright. Sometimes weeds do have pretty flowers and many wildflowers are beautiful, aren’t they? <br /><br />Angel Pearls, welcome to my blog and thanks for the nice comments. <br /><br />Muhammad, I have not seen the bunga kantan at nurseries here too. The flower is available in many wet markets and supermarkets but the rhizome (root) is difficult to get. We need to grow bunga kantan from a rhizome and usually we get it from other gardeners. The torenia comes in pink and white flowers too. This plant can be grown as a ground cover and it looks very beautiful in clumps. I just found this out from a local gardening book. <br /><br />Lillibeth, if you google this cat whiskers plant, you will be intrigue by its usefulness. There is quite some research done on this plant.<br /> <br />James, I am just like Stephanie when it comes to herbs. I have tried and like the taste of the Alitea tea bags but fresh leaves, I haven’t tried yet. I will do this soon enough because I love tea anyway. There are also other herbs in my garden waiting for me to try. Thank you very much for the encouragement, just like how after you commented in my first hibiscus post a long time ago, I actually tried eating the hibiscus flower petals and found that it is in fact quite tasty! The reason I planted the cat whiskers in the first place was because of its unique beauty and out of curiosity. I like the vinca with a red center too. Do plant the seeds. Will be interesting to know the outcome.<br /><br />Kanak, thank you so much for the lovely comments.<br /><br />Rosey and James, I think I’d better catch the grasshopper and give it a new home far far away from my garden. This fella has been around here for months already and it can certainly hop very far. Maybe it’s a male, that’s why no eggs and babies yet.Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-9014521937843326192009-09-18T20:05:41.620+08:002009-09-18T20:05:41.620+08:00You never cease to amaze me with your variety of b...You never cease to amaze me with your variety of blooms.

It seems to spread quickly by underground runners, also sending shoots across the surface until they it an obstacle then they too root and grow.

Too bad I don't have space, if not I would get more shrubs to be planted in my garden. And no I have not tried the cat's whisker's leaf yet. The alitea bags too... I have not tried. I am just bad at trying out this kind of things. I have two herb plants in my garden that my neighbour's mom passed me. They are growing nicely now but I am just not using them. I am just not used to it. Also, have to take it regularly at a long period of time to see the effect. I think I am just not that discipline type of person. I wish you have a wonderful day today!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867061279916535777noreply@blogger.com
