what
is going on?
It is cloudy and warm today. It rains in the afternoon and I think it is not sufficient for some plants which are in pots. Flowers are abundant and some daisies are starting to blossom. Last year the daisies self seeded generously and I have picked the seedlings and planted them somewhere else in the garden. It flowers profusely throughout summer and I like its easy going nature, all I have to do is stake the flowers and watch them blooms. Some clematis are flowering too and I could never resist them so I have a few growing against the garden fence and pergola posts. I am a fan of the huge clematis blossom but I love the ones which are medium size and deep red in colour. I also have an evergreen 'Armandii' which has not flower this year but beginning to trail up the trellis, so I will be looking forward to its show next spring.
Last year I planted three climbing rose 'Pink Perpetue' against the south facing wall and it is a tremendous sight this year (according to my opinion), it is doing really well and climbing up at a giddying height. Plenty of flower buds and I predict there will be a rose bloom in the weekend. I will take some pictures later.

about hosta
Hosta is another my favourite plant. There are so many types to choose from. I stick with the common ones such as 'Frances Williams', 'Holycon', 'Sum & Substance' and 'Fire & Ice'. The latter which I bought via mail and took a year to get going. I remember seeing a plant similar to a hosta in Malaysia when I was growing up and I think the large foliage really belong to a tropical garden. Slugs and snails do not disturb them much this year, I think they heard my pleas and felt sorry for me.
