Cypress Vine Update - Full Use of the Trellis

Here's a quick update on the Cypress Vine. The first bloom has become a fruit and is now ready for picking for the seeds. It took a few weeks before it browned.


The small fruit yields only a few seeds - only two or three. They're small, black and oblong in shape.

Burning Leaves in the Lawn

A few months ago, we had our neighbor's tree cut. This was after asking permission of course. The trouble with all the cutting is that it left us with this.


The above is just a part of the huge mound of leaves, twigs and branches. Some of the branches have been cut and split into smaller pieces and have been sun-dried to be used as fuel.

Evolvulus glomeratus or Blue Daze

Over a month ago, DH and I went to Los Banos, Laguna to accompany our daughter Karen to her UPCAT review at Brain Train. As the review was scheduled from morning til afternoon, DH and I went to the gardens in LB for a look-see. We bought a couple of forget-me-not's and a couple of small plants with blue flowers that the vendor could not definitely identify. When we got home, DH set them at a side of the garden.

Here are the "mother" plants.
