The blue ones are amazing: die every evening, born again every morning

Sure a huge difference what can be grown in the north, than down here in the south! ASTX ^

My Grosse Lesse (spelling? too lazy to go find the packet) toms are blooming, but perhaps with rain season coming, timing might be off

Solanum lycopersicum 'Große Lisse'

"Große Lisse' Something like that.....^ I am sure that is not quite correct either!

Let's move on to Poinsettias in Chiang Mai... another plant that does not do well down here in the Tropics!

Ok....not many of you are interested in weeds (they can be as beautiful as flowers), so I will give you flowers.

And just an introduction to weeds.

Did somebody mention weeds?

We imported some exotic weed...

The bugs loved it, so I could never do the " she loves me, she does not love me" thing.

weeds..unwanted, invasive, generally unpleasant , not really good for anything- bit like a few people in this world too...mmm

hey Nudes that looks almost edible.. maybe not a weed afterall..??

Yes.... dandelion root, dandelion salad,...

When we are in Europe, my wife always eats lots of weeds or flower roots etc (on the advise of Thai friends here).

When I google those plants, I always find that Europeans ate them too - a long time ago. We have forgotten them now.

Currently my wife is into FIGS, tomorrow we fly back home to Chanthaburi with kilos of fig cuttings from Madeira - and fig leaves make an excellent tea as well!

Crazy: learning about Europe from a Thai!

mm hey nudes you obviously don't go foraging much.. it is coming back in the West ..they call it new wave back to grass roots (literally) eating.. but your missus has always been a newageforager !! hows that for a new latintit word ?? cb will get this :0

That weed looks a bit tired!

^Under better conditions, the flower should look like this:

After the war, we made some nice "honey" from them...

Blowball, too late for "honeycooking"

Sorry for posting, photos NOT taken in Thailand.

I find this flower very interesting as it begins the day almost white but changes color during the day.

^^ hi VF nice to see your posts.. . First time I have seen you do a flower...but I have not been around very long do you know what it is called?

My wife thinks it is called Dok Fai Muang Loei but I am not sure. I just walk past it on the corner of a soi each day and noticed how it changes color during the day depending on how much sunlight it gets. It is quite a tall plant and seems to grow without any care.

thankyou VF.. it looks a bit like a hibiscus variety. There are a couple of plant experts on here , maybe they will see and can let us know.

Passion fruit flower.

I think I found it. Hibiscus Mutabilis or Confederate Rose.

These pictures were taken in November 2004. I still have the flowers, in the same pots, but they are nowhere near as bushy as they once were. My landlord says that I shouldn't water them too often as they don't produce so many flowers when well-watered.

^^ I agree .. mine like a real hard prune once a year too.

Canna lilies, beautiful

A holly hock for BC! (up north, Pai area!)
