Xia Gu Cao

Boiled a bunch of them yesterday, added black sugar and it tasted so good! Better than store bought liang cha!

Misa Kuching

Red Hibiscus

I am expanding my hibiscus collection... Started with the light orangey ones.. Now I have the red ones!

Passiflora G

Many blooms but no fruit! Argh... Wondering if it is like the Passiflora L... difficult to get fruits!

Red Okra

Seeds were blessed from someone. They are growing sooooo slowly....

Portulaca

Rare to snap both colours together!
I just discovered that portulaca has medicinal values!! The whole plant can be boiled in water and drank like herbal drink!

NTU Herb Garden

Visited NTU Herb Garden yesterday. What a hot afternoon - typical of weather these days!
Thank you, Mr Ng, for the generous cuttings of some of the herbs and flowers!
Another bunch of herbs, laksa leaves, misai kuching (white & purples flowers) & hibicus red!
And I saw a big Jambu tree with many jambu!!
