Shades of Orange

Here are some of the items with shades of orange in the garden.

Top view of Moon Cactus.
With barely any care for the last 6 months, this yellow-orange moon cactus still look gorgeous, doesn't it?

Marigold
They are grown in between cabbage plants.
I don't know exactly what the marigold did, but I certainly managed to harvest all my cabbages this time and in good shape too.

Geiger Flower Tree
A row of these trees are grown by the developer in front of my house.
They look good from this direction.
Lots of fallen dried leaves and fruits on the opposite direction.

Canna

These are thriving despite daily rain last month and rainless days this month.

Titty Fruit (Solanum mammosum)

These are not edible but I think they look cute.

Fungi
See the peace symbol?
We use our fingers, the bug uses its antennae.

Orange beetle.
What could it be up to?

Skipper - not a true butterfly nor a moth.
More of this in another post.

Fish

It's purpose is to ensure no mosquito larvae in my lotus pot.

Sometimes I scoop up some of the water and fish waste to add to the compost pile.

My favourite orange items would have to be these 3 dragonflies.

I have yet to see them catch their prey.

So far, I've only seen a spider eating a caterpillar and a praying mantis eating a fly.

Wild Flower Bloom Day Dec 2010

It's Summer. 

It's always Summer.

There is only Summer.

My yellow cosmos is blooming like crazy.
Cosmos arrived in my garden on its own 3 years ago.
It has continued to self seed ever since.

I was hoping for some 'fall' colours and thought I could get away with a wilting flower above.

Kindly acknowledge the cute praying mantis that just said 'Hi!'

I have Hibiscus, Zinnia and fruit plants blooming but I prefer to post these wild flowers. 

I am in the mood for fall and winter colours.
It must be a contagious mood.

The wild flower blooms above look like alphabets O and S, don't they?

It says; 'Only Summer!'
