Lovely Hibiscus Flowers Pt.1

A GCS friend grows some lovely hibiscus in his garden in JB. I read his hibiscus threads recently and fell in love with the hibiscus flowers. I copied his hibiscus flower pics here for reference as he gave me many cuttings of his hibiscus plants. It was a last minute thing that I managed to get the cuttings but they were all mixed up ..... LOL So here lets enjoy the blooms first before I get to try to identify what kinds of flowers I will get from the cuttings he gave me :-)

Roses in the CG Update 1

One of my friend from the GCS forum passed me four pots of roses cos' they were not doing well at her balcony during this time of the year. Also the roses had spider mites problem. So when she passed them to me I cut off all the leaves and let them regrow the leaves while leaving them under the young Mango tree in the CG and since then, many new leaves have grown and one of them even bloomed. So here is the pot with the red, red rose.

Garden in Rose Valley

The garden here has got quite a number of interesting nooks and corners for one to relax and maybe smell the roses too.
By the way notice there's no crowd? Well we were there about an hour before closing time. No need to jostle with the crowd to take pics and smell the roses too. I can't imagine if there was a crowd cos' the paths were really narrow to walk two by two comfortably.
Enjoy the pics .....

Rose Valley in Cameron Highlands

I had the chance to drive up to Cameron Highlands earlier in the year. Arrived there at 5pm and only got to visit this place before heading for dinner. Even though the visit was for about an hour before the place closes for the day, I got to see a visual treat of roses growing everywhere and also the garden centre. So here enjoy the beauty of these roses as we walked down the pathways ......
