My Tropical Balcony :)

We came to kl 10 years back...newly married....packing everything from scratch....clothes' hangers....pots and pans.....towels and blankets......rugs and table cloths......furniture and fittings......JUST everything...yeah we moved into an empty house.

Friends and family members gave us wedding gifts that would be useful such as a rice cooker.....sandwich toaster.....table lamps....microwave oven and so on which definitely helped us start a HOME...but amongst all the gifts we had.....what i loved the most were the lovely little plants given by my mom and also my father in law.....they were almost just little twigs when i got it from them. So they hardly filled my balcony then...

So, soon after Nantha and i were a little settled ...we wanted more plants...and one of Nantha's friend suggested we should go hunting for it around KL and PJ . So off they went to cut down some branches and pull out some plants by the roadside and from the bushes. And yes they came back with some interesting plants....so thats how i got the collection of plants at home...

And some of it like the Bamboo....grew so tall in 10 years...it is now touching the ceiling of my house....So....here's how they look ...after 10 years....at my tropical balcony:)

This one came as a tiny twig ...given by my mom from Ipoh.

This is the little bamboo that came from Batu gajah....

Dracaena plant :)

This one i pulled out by the drain in Bangsar as i went walking one eve....now it has grown big Elephant ears leaves :)

Jasmine flower plant from my father in law ...

Orange Lantana flowers :)

So for those of you who love gardening but have not much space....dont give up....choose the right plants according to the amount sunlight needed and identify the best spots in your house that would be ideal for the plants....and dont forget to nourish it with lots of love and attention...and you will be surprised at how well they grow :)
