Presenting our six year old plants grown in the province. The Red Torch Ginger/Torch Lily (Etlingera Elatior)
Named after 18th century botanist Andreas Ernst Etlinger, this perennial plant of the ginger family, grows about 12 feet or taller in tropical climates and much shorter in cooler climates. The plant is native to Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.

Who doesn't love pastels? Our Plumbago showing off periwinkle blue color and its lighter shade. The latter is from an heirloom plant from my Lola. I grew up admiring the beautiful clumps of the plant in her flower box.
The story was that the original plant was given to my Lola by an uncle who worked in Iloilo. She took care of the plant, propagated it and made sure there will always be more than two alive before caterpillars devoured most of the leaves. ๐Ÿ’š

Coleus (Mayana)
If you happen to see Coleus in my garden those are all my cousin's. I must say though that Coleus are a beauty when grown altogether in one area in the garden. Planted under the trees (photo #1), mature coleus add pops of color to an otherwise boring graveled pathway.

My Angel Wing begonia was from my sister-law, Rose. She handed over a pot to me back in 2016. It grew quite leggy and became dormant for sometime. After the super typhoons last year, I decided to prune and do some repotting.
This is my TFS container garden. (I have two pots of the same set)
T= Thrill. Choose a plant that will stand out. This cane type Angel Wing begonia that grows upright and produces clumps of pink flowers could do the trick.
F= Fill. I cover the surface of the soil with something that could fill the gaps or space like a simple Spider Plant.
S= Spill. Episcia cupreata aside from it's velvety leaves gives small red flowers and stolons that dangle over, thus spilling it's beauty over the container.๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿต๏ธ

Books and magazines on plants and gardening I have collected over the years. The oldest magazine is a 1996 special issue of Country Living and a 1990 published book on Wildflowers which came as a freebie after I completed payment of a set of encyclopedia (which was donated to a school in 2016 (if I'm not mistaken)).
For this year, I wish to add a books on permaculture and Philippine native trees.๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’š
