Assalamualaikum.
My name is Nabilah and this is (one of) my hobby. Gardening.
|
Kailan. Fresh after the morning rain. |
|
Baby spinachs |
|
Young basils. Love their fragrant. |
|
Kuchai |
|
Young papaya leaves |
|
Screw pine leaves. They smell heavenly. Best added in fragrant rice and sweet porridge. |
|
Not really sure what flower this is. Morning glory? |
|
Baby kailan |
|
Not so much a baby kailan anymore. A young one then. |
|
Kailans are delicious with salted fish and fried rice. They need lots of space to grow big. |
|
Sawi. A pok choy? |
|
A type of lime. Tastes like calamansi. The design on the fruit and leaves are unique. |
|
Young limes |
|
Classic rose. This plant has produced many flowers for more than a year. The flowers get smaller with time. Perhaps they need more fertilizers. |
|
Sawi |
|
The kailan growing big and leafy |
|
Delicious, aren't they? |
|
Mama spinach |
|
Ah, we have a guest. When i bought the seed, the packaging said "Bayam" but it didn't really grow into the bayam we so often see in our supermarkets, eh? Wonder what breed of bayam this is. |
|
Can you see the flowers? Lots of new seeds coming. |
|
Classic kang kung |
|
New flower for a new roselle fruit. Best boiled for a nice sweet roselle syrup! |
|
Ladies fingers. Still young. |
|
Honey lime |
|
Okay this plant came into the house already big, with fruits. RM 25 at one of the shops in Sungai Buloh. I love lime leaves. They smell heavenly citrusy! |
|
Water orchid. Nice blooms early in the morning. |
|
The flowers and stalk is very unique. Never quite seen anything like it before. Got the seeds from a friend in Indonesia. |
|
Classic kesum! |
|
Pokok misai kucing with purple flowers |
|
Kuchai breeds from its flowers. Once they dry, the seeds will pop out and out will come a baby kuchai! |
|
Classic baby celery. Or daun sup as we know it. Bred from a baby, and into a fine, healthy shrub today maa sha Allah! |
|
Daun selom. An ulam so they say, but i've yet to try it. |
|
Daun sup. Aren't they gorgeous? Gives out a nice fragrant in broths. |
|
Baby aubergines |
|
Aubergine flower |
|
Recognise this? Yes, it's the pineapple. Just replant the pineapple 'head' when you buy one. |
|
Baby kailans and sawi |
|
Baby bayam |
|
Chillis. I suspect they need more fertilizers. Or not if they are cili kampung. Just chuck away dried chilli seeds unto the soil! |
|
Chillies in your very own garden maa sha Allah |
|
It's a green plant given by grandma. Doesn't emit any fragrance. Purely leaf and a very thin, black stalk. |
|
And my very own, classic, calamansi |
|
New ones budding from the flower soon |
|
Beluntas flower |
|
Pokok periuk kera hanging. Or, the pitcher plant in English? |
|
Caught some bugs in the "pitcher" a few times |

Oregano. Loves the hot sun. Does not like water. |
|
Winda flowers. Love how they hang so beautifully over the flower pot |
|
They come in various colours. Purple, pink, baby pink, white... No fragrant though. |
|
Our very own classic pegaga |
|
Curry leaves. Good for the bones. Delicious in ahem, curries, and butter prawns |
|
Always good to have bananas in the house. The leaves are always good for baked/grilled food. They'ld come of the griller smelling heavenly indeed... |
|
Some leafy green that invited itself into our garden and we love it |

Purple petunia |

Your classic mint leaf. Good in tea of mint infused drinks. |
|
Red petunia |
|
White petunia. Don't last very long though. |
|
Cekur, always fresh with lots of water |
|
Rosemary for the lamb |
|
Thyme. Sad to say, mine is dying due to the excessive amount of water given to it. *sob* Smells heavenly. Try adding it into English dishes. |
|
Gorgeous leaves maasha Allah |

Not really sure of the name but smells like Jasmine |
|
