New Flowers: Three Months and Angelonia

We were visiting some nurseries last weekend, supposedly to buy some fertilizers for our roses but ended up with our car brimming with flowers instead. These flowers are simply way too gorgeous not to own them. Alright, blame it on our impulsive instinct...:)

This is called "pokok bunga tiga bulan", translated as Three Months. Odd name, I know. I checked out wikipedia. Apparently, it is a tree species flower Hydrangea originated from Japan. And I discovered a little fact: the color of the flowers can vary from white to a range of blue to purple to pink, depending on the pH of the soil. How interesting, eh?

And this is called Angelonia (nope, it's not named after Angelina Jolie). It was said the flowers need warm temperatures and large amount of sunlight. Well, we do have lots of that, don't we?



Now, the challenge is to ensure they survive...:) Ah...I so like gardening!
