Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day - March 2014

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day! The orchids seem to be loving this month. Many are in bloom while others have begun spiking.


Pink Amaryllis

The dendrobium anosmum orchid has produced its annual inflorescence a month earlier than last year. There are more blooms too, as a result of better care given.

Dendrobium 'Sripho Stripe' Orchid

I love roses but roses do not love the Tropics. I am always on the lookout for cultivars that can grow here. The shrub rose 'Belinda's Dream', with its many pink petals, seems to be doing alright.

Today's Flowers

The rainy season started late last month. The plants respond well to the copious amount of rainfall but the weeds like it even more.


Pink anthurium. It is not uncommon to see these growing under the shade of a mango tree in someone's yard. Some cultivars are also grown for the cut flower trade.


 Hard-cane fuschia dendrobium orchid. Dendrobiums are among the easiest blooming orchids.


 Matte petals


Purple Mexican petunia (ruellia simplex). Grows easily from cuttings and requires little care. A plant for those with a brown thumb.


Red wax begonia. Instant flower power. Great in containers and beds. 

Thanks to the team of Today's Flowers, where we can see what is blooming in different parts of the world.
