Forest in my Backyard

While the delicate flower plants slowly disappear from my garden, non-flowering plants and trees are flourishing well. My backyard gradually becomes a forest. That was also part of my intention to reduce the noises and dust from the four lane highway at the back. The highway was a pain in my ass. My house was a happy, quiet and peaceful stay for thirteen years, suddenly a four lane highway was built behind my house five years ago. It brought anxiety, sleepless nights, dirts, pollution and sickness to me as the thousands of vehicles passed through the short-cut highway everyday. 
Damn the authorities for putting the busy highway through the residential areas!

Bougainvillea magnifica

Still, the rich bright pinky red and very eye catching large bracts of this plant are the best to look in the garden. With high rainfall, December is again the season to watch.

Malaviscus arboreus (Turk's cap)

The plant is now blooming with missile flowers, pointing upwards, as if ready to be launched, but which aeroplane to shoot?
 

Evolved Baleria Cristata (Phillipines Violet)

Did not expect the flower to evolve into totally light violet flower within such short time, a few years! 
What has prompted the change of colour from white and pink (previous posts) to complete light violet, I wonder. It is at my backyard garden in Kuching. The original colour looks much better and graceful!

Sugar Cane Plant

Nobody is taking this plant raw nowadays (You need very strong teeth to do so), so my brother cleared off the bush some time ago. Well, the plant springs out again after a while. Any taker?

Butterfly Stabilising Landing

Butterfly normally folds its wings upwards the moment it lands on a flower or a leaf. 
This butterfly wants to scout the bunch of fruits and therefore have to spread the wings and bend the legs to stabilise itself on the irregular surface. It seems to respond different situations by instinct and not like humans by training! 

Liana Vines in my Farm

These Liana vines must be very old for growing into such big sizes and the barks are also covered with green algae. The wood is not that hard and at right angle they can be chopped off and kill the plants which crawl all over the tree top. 
But beware of the angle of chopping, if you chop from top down in vertical direction with great force, the knife may end up on your knees. If you you use insufficient force, the knife will just spring up and you would fail to cut the swinging stems.
