teeny weeny plant(LATE)

This weeny little plant was a stray one. I found it growing with another plant that I bought from the nursery. I couldn't get myself to pull it out and do what should be done with weeds. It looked kinda cute so I just shifted it to another pot- a bigger one. It did pretty well and astounded me with the teeny-tiny things it grew underneath its leaves. Then the torrential rain episode began and by the end, this one was bald. I thought that perhaps the leaves would grow back once it recovers but sadly it didn't.. I found that out when seeing it drooping  I tried to support it and it came right out in my hand.

the 'wormy' plant- Amaranthus caudatus

Believe me this furry thing's nothing from the bio book...... it's a flower! YES!

I don't know the names of many of my plants, and would dearly love to (everyone is welcome to add a piece to my name-game). These plants that I'm focusing on are a really pretty sight in my little balcony garden. They have a spiral sort of bloom (at least I think it is the bloom) which is velvety in its feel and quite tough in its structure. I just love'em! There are three versions i have- red, yellow and pink.

the very first post

I am a fairly eccentric gardener having to make do with an L-shaped balcony of (3x8)+(3x22) sq. feet, for accommodating my green friends, since I live on the second floor and have no such wonderland as they call a 'garden'. My little balcony is my area of finding repose and relaxation. I revel in its shades of green and splashes of vibrant blooms, highlighting themselves now and then. In spite of it being a limited area it receives sufficient daylight and has a good air flow through it, which is what is more than enough to enrapture me and my plants.

My love for plants and animals goes back a long way and is growing steadier everyday. I started this blog partly because I wanted to keep a record of the doings of my plants and partly because I wanted to show them off :) Anyhow, with much pondering this post is done- the very first post!
