The Sun, the Heat & the Blooms...

After a period of cool, heavy rainfall for almost a month which indirectly affected many residents' homes & geological structure of certain areas in this country..the humid hot weather are here again.

To welcome the bright sunshine almost every morning in my potted garden, is a basin of the sun-loving Water Hyacinth (locally known as Keladi Bunting in Malay) with its beautiful non-lasting light lavender blooms. Thou its blooms are non-lasting ie. it lasted only for a day but with rich medium (water & fertiliser) and direct sunlight, it is a fast grower & a regular bloomer.
