Do you know spider lily? I have one,but I thought it was Amaryllis.Now I know it and I found it's opening. I grew it in a iron bason originally, however, it grew so quickly,so I plant it in the field,grow so fast.
I also plant tiger lily,some of you may have seen the plant before. It has flower head now and I found it became yellow these days. Now I know the small buld in the leaf axil can be used to reproduce.
It is summer now,so hot everyday. However,the weather is cloudy today,not hot,so I went to the west lake and nearby scenic spots.
Well,firstly,let me show some flowers.
This is water nymph.
Actually,it is far from me.So I the highest optical zoom and put the camera against a rock,so we can see it clearly.
This is Hosta plantaginea. It is said to be fragrant, however, I only found its beauty. It's clear,isn't it?
I don't know the name of this flower,very common near the river,very beautiful.
How about the Ivy? I think they are very strong since they are climbing the trees and seems succesfull. Hehe, perhaps someone helps them.
This morning,I climb the mountain firstly. The mountain is called Huanglong,means yellow dragon. There is a hole on the mountain which is called Huanglong hole. It has an old story. Long long ago,Hangzhou city had a drought. The local people prayed for many times,but in vain. Then one day,a axman found fog in the mountain everyday. So some of them went to find the origin.They spent a lot of time and finally found a hole. To their astionishment,they found a dragon in the hole. They told it to the village head. The village head has heard from the grandfather who also heard from his grandfather,that there lives a dragon in the mountain,which could disgorge water. They wanted the awake the dragon,however,they were afraid of it. At last, they found a method. They beat the drums through the day near the dragon.At last,it woke and flied to the sky. Then it disgorged water from its month. The drought ended. Well,it is only a story and I descried it as I remembered.But it is really very cool in the hole,I mean the temperature is low there.
Thanks to the public bike,I can visit the lake easily. It's free of charge. As I remember, the government learned it from Europe. And I also heard that the European failed because of high preserving cost. There are many spots nearby,so it's very convinient. Actually,there are over 10 000 public bikes among the city. There are also some spots in my town.
Beautiful lake! I have never seen this before. It is really a good day. The wind is strong,so the waves are also big. You know some boats even can't move because of the waves. However,when the wind is weak,the waves disappeared. So interesting.
Qu Yuan Feng He park is very beautiful too, so silent and with so many beautiful water lily.
Remember my megranate flower tree? Well, it has some fruits now. Not too many fruits, since it was moved here for only ony year. But I guess those fruits will grow up. My mother said the megranate is very big, perhaps as big as sold in the market.Well,I don't like eating it,too acid for me.
You know I bought red Gerbera jamesonii when I was in shaoxing. Today,I saw it in the market too,so I bought one again,but yellow this time.So far as I know,it can blossom all the year round. To my astonishment, it has siamesed flowers. From the root,we can see more flowers will blossom.
The real evening primrose is coming.It is not beautiful,but very famous.It blossoms in the night,very fragrant.Some other flowers have the same ability as I told last time.
There are some begonias in the market,with so many color and flowers.I bought in the new year,however,died.It has a lont time of blossoming time. So I want to try it again.
I saw Sinningia speciosa too today. So beautiful.I can't take too many flowers,so I choose one color.It also has a long life, and can be reproduced with its leaves.I've tried it.Actually,I reproduce many kind of flowers today,with their leaves or branches in the sand.
Hi,everyone,so busy these days,miss you.
I'm free tonight,so I'm going to share some photos which were taken last weekend.
Remember my lily? Well, it has some flower heads.I guess they will blossom in half a month.
The Mirabilis jalapa has grown up,with so many flowers. It is so common here, however, when you see it at the first time,you will feel it's beautiful.The color is pure,and the flowers are so cute.What's more,you can see it blossoming only in the night.So it is also called Telosma cordarum Merr.Its seed looks like land mine,so some people call it land mine flower.
The China rose has a beautiful flower today,perhaps it's not as beautiful as in the real world.
There are some Gardenia trees in the community. The flowers sent forth a delicate fragrance.So some people like to take some of them in bottles.It is very easy to reproduce,just use its branch.
Remember my hyacinth orinntal? Well, it is blooming now. It seems that the flower can last for several days. And I've found that the flower expand its petals in the night. Hehe, so I took some pictures in the night. It was not bad. It has different face in the night, another kind of beauty.
In the day
In the night
The cactus is also blooming now, yellow, beautiful. This kind of cactus is easy to keep. No matter how much water I offer, it won't die.
I grow some lily of which the corms were bought from the supermarket. In may last company, I offer good soil and enough fertilizer,so those grow better, though I haven't seen them for a long time. These seem to be less heathy. The flowers are growing for a long time, but still small. So I give them some inorganic fertilizer. Today I found that some small purple flower heads in the axil. I didn't take photo of them, just wondering whether they will bloom.
My mother cut some branches of the pomegranate several months ago, now they not only have many leaves but also have some flower heads. It's amazing. So mall.
To my astonishment, I found some Mirabilis jalapa long ago when I got rid of the grass in the garden. They grow so fast, and I could see the color of the flower now. Big surprise!
It is summer now, so hot during the day. What's more, it seems that she doesn't like to travel around West Lake. So I have little spots to take photo of. I uploaded some photos of vegetalbes in the garden some weeks ago, and now they grow up and have some fruits. So I'd like to share them with you today.
Did you remember eggplant? Well, we have eaten some of them now and there are still many in the garden.
I guess yours is different, which looks like an egg, right? Hehe, we also have the same kind of eggplant. However, we used to grow this kind. By the way, take a near look at the flower.
The tomatoes grow bigger, but are still raw. They need such a long period of time. My mother is regretful of planting them.
My mother grew some cucumbers those days, the flowers are still yellow. The cubumber grows fast, I guess one week or 10 days is enough for it to grow mature.
We also grow kidney bean( I guess so), its flowers looks like the wistaria, specially of its color. There so many fruits now and we have already eaten once.
I didn't show you the soybean last time, some of you may have investigate them in the full picture. They have mature fruits now and may be pulled out soon. So I must keep them in my computer now. There are many kinds of it, what we grow is of the small kind.
The towel gourd becomes strong now, and have some grown-up fruits. In the summer, we like to cook them in the soup which is good for our health.
Some ants are working busy on the flower. 
There are some grass in the garden, we should get rid of them, however, too many gravels inhibit us. Never mind, we can do it by hands.
