This is the beautiful view my husband took just as we arrived.
This part is the root of a big old mango tree. He was able to design it to look as lovely as this.
These are the Alembong plants I ask him for. He told me to pick as many as I can. And I did. He even helped me cause he was gardening that misty morning.
This is already at my home. He gave me this beautiful centerpiece and it fits perfectly at our terrace.
Forgive me as I am not so good with plant identifications but I knew some plants he has given me, these two last photo are "Mayana" varieties. He also gave some other ornamental plants which I wish would live since I just discovered today as I went home that my husband's nephew along with his playmates just sabotage my garden. lol. I call it sabotage but then they thought they gave me a hand while I was at work. Roar! But I've managed my anger because I've realize my likeness for gardening has an influence on them. I will just reconstruct everything and hope that all the newly planted will live. I just told them not to go there anymore so they will not get bitten by mosquitoes.
I promise the next time, my post will always be complete including the plant names. I am just tired today but was very excited to share the beautiful garden I discovered.
His garden looks amazing! I can't wait to have my own garden and to plant loads of pretty flowers etc! Although it won't look as nice as this one :) xx
ReplyDeletePlease make a post if you have started your own. I wanna see. It's so fun and its a bit of an exercise. Thank you. His garden is really beautiful.
