Cannas

A friend decided to donate most the the cannas from his garden to the CG cos' his garden was getting too shady for them. They were grown in their pots at the staircase before they were transferred to the present location. They grew tall and managed to flower. So here's a pretty yellow canna bloom. Enjoy!

Bromeliads

A couple of these ornamental pineapple plants were donated to the CG about a year ago. They have grown and fruited a couple of times. They look pretty with the way the striations are colored on the leaves but they fruit cannot be eaten. While repotting them I got my two arms scratched quite a bit.
Nevertheless, they are lovely to look at but got to be careful when handling them.

Bittergourd Again.

Another CGer loves bittergourd. Another attempt to grow them and it was successful with the huge fruit harvest there.

Giant Yams in the CG.

My favorite CGer here planted the Giant Yam plants here when it was only less than a long ruler length. It took more than six months of growing to reach human height. Looks like it will still be a while before we can harvest the tubers. Meanwhile more baby yam plants seem to be sprouting out from the patch. I found out from the internet that the tubers are huge and they don't look anything like the ones we buy from the supermarket. I am so looking forward to this.

Another Brugmansia Bloomed.

This post is long overdue. It's a pretty pink bloom and all too soon it was gone.

Heartland Ambassadors at the CG

Twenty Heartland Ambassadors are chosen from Xinmin Primary School to help the CG volunteers to conduct the CG programme for their schoolmates.
They came over to the CG to plant at the Hibiscus Patch.
