[Kingfisher]

I am so envy that you have such a beautiful garden compared to us living in a flat. Does it take a lot of time to maintain the garden?

what is the butterfly pea? that's the clitoria - i have that too but never took a pix. i think i posted 3 blue flowers. the fan shaped one is the scaevola, then there's the otacanthus caeruleus, and there's the browallia.

[islaverde]

yeah, I too started out with English/Cottage Gardens. That is because there are so many books written on them.

[Neverend]

Wow, simply beautiful! You sure have a lot of exotic flowers!

Yup..been looking for the clitoria as I was told this plant actually increases the nitrogen level of the soil.:)/> And the fact that I can have rice with a blueish tint is kinda cool too :P/> Wonder anyone can spare a cutting to get me started? :)/>

Love your English Garden design...no way my garden can do that...what with three mango trees, one jambu tree, one kedongdong tree, 2 banana shrubs, 2 palm trees and two papaya trees scattered all over the place (my dad doesn't really believe in an organized fruit orchard :P/> ), it will look like an English Garden on an acid trip lor! :hysterical:/>

i love the colours in your garden..... very, very, very nice

[shamrock]

thanks, everyone. but there have been major changes since the initial pictures were taken.

[balistyle]

shamrock,

Wow, so colourful and so many varieties.

What did you do to your lotus? They are lovely! Can share your secret? ;)/> What is the name of the waterlily, pink, at the last picture?

Thanks again. Cheers

[shamrock]

thanks, balistyle. not sure what it was that made the lotus burst out in blooms like that - there were 13 buds and flowers all at once in various stages. i use the normal waterlily tablets they sell at garden centres.

i'm afraid i dont know what the pink waterlily in the final picture is called. it's a night bloomer. opens at 8pm, closes at about 10.30am. maybe someone on GCS can tell us.

[alan lim]

wow shamrock , your garden is so impressive and so beautiful.
must visit your garden if go to KL.....

i guess u have spent alot of time and $$$ on this garden....

[skyfiery]

Beautiful garden, Shamrock!

[milkbone]
