Dragonfruit

Some people love dragonfruit ( red pitaya (Hylocereus undatus)); others (including me) think that taste-wise, it is rather insipid.  But all will agree that colour-wise, it is a striking fruit.

Here is my dragonfruit plant growing from a Tuscany pot - not really the best way to grow it and I should really put it in the ground.

 

Poor brave little plant

This poor brave little plant has been brought to Jansen Springs, a place infamous for the death of many other houseplants (See Feb05-2010 entry).  On top of the poor light condition at Jansen Springs, the owner there is prone to (a) overwater or (b) under-water (depending on her mood) all plants and also there are three demonic cats which love to dig up all potted plants (just for the hell of it).
So poor little Syngonium, be brave.

[S] Growing from seeds

I have always enjoyed putting seeds into the earth and watching seedlings emerge.  There is something magical in the process and one can sense the presence of the Creator.
Today I planted a package of brinjal (egg plant) seeds and I look forward to seeing them germinate within the next several days.
