Kemuning- Murraya paniculata

I’ve been meaning to ask the readers of LamanHati about the name of this flowering plant since September..huhu! But due to my hectic schedule, I keep on neglecting to update this blog until last week when I bought Laman Impiana Nov/Dec07 edition and found the name of this plant....

Floria 2007 – Flora Fest In Putrajaya

It’s like an annual event to go to Flora Fest held in Putrajaya. This time it was held for 9 days. I was hoping to go on the first day but I was busy with with work and only managed to go on Saturday before it was over. Of...

Spathoglottis plicata-Philippine ground orchid

Thanks to a reader who pointed out, I think the previous pictures of my orchid-like plant should be renamed to Spathoglottis plicata. It grows well in tropical and semitropical areas as it thrives in great air circulation and very bright light, as well as hot temperature. The flowers will...

Is This Orchid Palm Grass?

I have been searching for the name of this plant for many weeks. When I bought it, I read the tag that says something to do with orchid and palm, so I thought this is another type of tropical orchid. I have divided the original plant three time, one...

Oleander

With sad heart I have to admit that this is not jasmine. Thanks to Layman for the info, although I really want it to be a non-poisonous plant, but as a matter of fact Nerium Oleander L is a poisonous plant that could kill people. Taken from a website,...

When I bought this almost 4 years ago, the man at the nursery...

This is what happen when you bought too much fresh turmeric for cooking. In the end all the fresh rhizomes start to grow on their own and I have no choice but to plant them in pots. At the moment I have like 3 pots of turmeric plants. This...

Japanese Lily

I think it is called Japanese Lily – Lilium speciosum based on what I read from Reader’s Digest-The Complete Guide To Houseplants book. But I’m not sure whether this is what species because the picture in the book is different that the one that I have in my garden....

Curry Leaves

I have this curry leaves plant for almost 4 years now. By right, it should have grown taller and bigger than this but I don’t know, maybe because I planted it in pot rather than on the ground. But I am grateful that it is still alive after all...

Dracaena

I am sure this is one of the dracaena genus but I still couldn’t find the exact name of it. I have checked in my The Complete Guide to Houseplants book but I couldn’t figure out if this belongs to Dracena Sanderiana or Dracaena Reflexa Variegata. When I first...
