Garden Photos of the Day

Today was quite a day. In the morning until about midday, it was 30'C, then it started thundering and it rained for a while. Then the sun came out again for a while, then it got cloudy again (along with thunders) and now it's sunny again, though the temperature has dropped to 25'C.

Today I received my paycheck, but for some reason they made a mistake. I had submitted my tax card before I started working, but they must have not gotten it, 'coz they reduced my income by 60% (the law states that if the worker hasn't sent any tax card, they'd use 60% as my income tax). I was SHOCKED when I got the report, so tomorrow I have to tell someone at work about this so that it can be amended.

Now on to the pics...finally my kang kong seeds have germinated (they started germinating yesterday actually):


To Rita, here's the pic of the red flower and the leaves, so I don't think it's kurtturuusu 'coz the leaves are totally different.


Here are the flower buds of the above flower:


I guess this is sunflower, right?


We've just ordered a lawn mower, so our garden looks like a jungle ha ha ha ha...so many white flowers:


Here are the close-up pics of the flowers:


Wanna know how small they are? Here's a bee on top of the flower.


Okay, now I'm going to blog-hop a bit before sauna. Yesterday and today I did some gardening and also exercised using Wii he he he...I need a strong back for this part-time job, people...not to mention having a strong back is important for the rest of my life ha ha...

    Actually that plant looks like a kind of wild hisbicus that grows in our tropics. That yellow flower is not a sunflower.

    Err...sorry to tell you Amel, but the white 'flowers' are WEEDS and that is why they are rampant! We have that a lot in UK gardens too.. Oho! It is White Clover. http://www.dgsgardening.btinternet.co.uk/clover.htm

    I agree, that yellow flower is not a sunflower. The central part of a sunflower is more often than not a dark brown, almost black colour and there is no gap between the petals, which are also broader in shape. I am sorry, but I do not know what that flower is!

    Sorry to hear about your salary.
