A 'Taman' in Taman Keramat

My sister CY has some interesting plants in her garden in Taman Keramat. Like me, she loves gardening and potters about it almost everyday. We have both taken seeds, seedlings and cuttings from each other and share what little we know about gardening.  Here are some of the plants that are growing in her garden.

1. Beautiful yellow bamboo (Schizostachyum brachycladum)

2. Very fragrant pretty pink roses. (That's CY out of focus in the background).

3. White Asian rosebay (Tabernaemontana divaricata)

CY also has many plants that make up the edible garden. For years I used to pluck green limes from the three trees that grow in her garden, but sadly today they are no more. CY suspects the termites might have gotten to them.

4. Lemuni leaf shoots are used to make a wonderful herbal rice dish, nasi lemuni.

5. This herb (Strobilanthes crispus) with pretty yellow flowers is used to make tea. Touted to be 'traditionally used for improving blood circulation, for relief of flatulence and stomach ache. To improve urination and bowel movement'.

6. Beluntas shoots make very good ulam. Very delicious with sambal belacan.
