The gardener who used to work for me one hour every day has left as he got a more lucrative job as the village priest. It is two months since I am doing all the hard work myself. Fortunately for me, the garden and the weather have been co-operating with me. The Swiss Cheese plant, Monstera deliciosa is putting out enormous new leaves.
Red salvias are attracting bees, while in the distance, the lemon yellow Shrimp plant Pacystachis lutea is blooming like mad.
In the frog pond, there are a couple of water lilies every night , thanks to my friend Helen's advice. I have planted the edible red Hongonne Alternanthera sessilis near it, which I use in my cooking.
The shadier part of my garden has white Peace lilys and pink anthuriums blooming among various shade loving foliage plants.
It is only when I go for my frequent trips that I miss my gardener, as there is no one to water the plants for a couple of days when I am away. So far, the weather has been kind with daily showers when Iwas away.
This is my contribution to My World and to Hot, Loud and Proud. My thanks to the team of My World, and to Noel for hosting these wonderful memes.
