Four-o'clock
Sep 22, 2010 | 7:45 PM PST

So far, I have saw pure purple,red,yellow and white flowers of four-o'clock. And I showed you some interesting flowers of  four-o'clock long long ago. Today I'd like to show some more interesting flowers.

As you see there pure yellow and pure red flowers on the same four-o'clock. Anyone can explain it? I also saw part yellow and part red flower,but I didn't confirm whether it was on the same plant.

You know I collect some seeds of white flowers, however, they didn't sprout. It is really a confusing flower!

Watermelon and tomato

Glad to see you, all of my friends. I haven't been here for a long time.

Today I'd like to share some photos with you. You know several months ago, I threw some watermelon seeds and rotton tomatoes in the soil on the veranda at random. To my surprisement, after several weeks, the shoots came out.They grew and blossomed. Though I'm not sure whether they would bear fruits, they looked nice.

When I saw the female flower, I just hope it would bear watermelon. However, they always depressed me. They grew so fast that some of the vine was out of the veranda. Since they didn't bear fruits, I didn't take care of them, only watered them. One day, I thought the vine was too long and might affect the downstair veranda, so I wanted to draw the vine to my veranda. I was so happy to see that some watermelon were on the vine.

It's already middle autumn, I guess they won't grow bigger. The biggest one may weight one pound, I guess it may not taste good.Hehe, anyway, it's the gift of God.

The tomatoes look better. You will see the grown-up tomatoes soon.
