	Datura, originally uploaded by malyousif.


	The first of the season! I love this plant which I grew from seed a couple of years ago. Although heavily attacked by mealy bugs and fungus this year, it survived after I heavily pruned the worst affected parts. I look forward to more of its gorgeous flowers.
I&#8217;ve got some seeds [...]]]></description>

	&#8220;Wat Aroon&#8221; the Temple of Dawn, Bangkok, Thailand
They&#8217;re almost &#8220;normal&#8221; in Bangkok, adeniums are all over the place and they flourish, puts mine to shame and eggs me to do better.
Well, thanks to a friend, I received 5 adeniums grown from seed in Bahrain. [...]]]></description>

	The Shy Plant, originally uploaded by malyousif.


	It seeded itself from another that unfortunately died. But I&#8217;m really glad that it took matters into its own hands. It&#8217;s still a very small bush by the front door but I look forward to it filling that space.
Have a wonderful Friday my friends.

	The Buddha Patch survived the summer a lot better than I expected this time. Even the bamboo seem to have finally taken root and are really getting on. Buddha is happy!
Have a wonderful weekend my friends.

I have no idea what type of plumeria it is. You could clearly see that it&#8217;s leaves are a bit &#8220;weird&#8221; and unlike any frangipani I have seen before. The garden centre didn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

	Portulaca, originally uploaded by malyousif.


	Happy Friday!
There isn&#8217;t much happening in the garden at the moment; end of summer, still hot and barely recovering from the onslaught on the house by the painters. Only the toughest plants are flowering at the moment: this portulaca in the Cauldron, some lantanas and of course the frangipanis.
I hope you&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

	Gharra Date Palm, originally uploaded by malyousif.


	Gharra is one of the sweetest dates available. It usually is one of the first varieties to become available in the summer.
I hope your Friday was peaceful. I wish you a fantastic rest of the weekend.

	The dates are really getting close to being ready to be harvested&#8230; hopefully we&#8217;ll get some of that before we go on holiday.
Have a wonderful weekend my friends.
