The Sassy Lawyer & Pinoy Cook on food, family and home.
I’m still digging into my old photos and look what I found! These are some of the flowers that used to grow in our garden. We have a lot of new ones now.
If the colors appear too bright in some photos and totally washed out in others, that’s because I took these photos with a stinky old cam called the Kodak LS443.
These white gumamelas used to be a favorite… until they grew wild and covered the windows leaving us with little ventillation.

In 2003, a time when I hadn't heard of the term "blog", I started a recipe website at cooking.houseonahill.net using a now defunct content management system that ran on ASP. Ok, never mind the geek talk, I'm sure you're not interested in that. The contents easily multiplied and, in 2004, I moved the food site to pinoycook.net. Always unhappy with the fact that the dot com versions of houseonahill and pinoycook weren't … (click here to read all »)

great shots, connie. beautiful flowers.our gumamela just keeps on growing, with leaves multiplying, but without the flowers.
thanks, lemon.
ayaw mamulaklak gumamela nyo? you know, I noticed that if left alone, the bloom profusely. the more trimming they get, nagtatampo yata.
bigla ko tuloy na-miss ang garden kong maliit sa antipolo. ano na kaya ang hitsura nito ngayon. nung iwanan ko siya last year, nagtanim ako ng mga bagong gumamela na hybrid.
siyempre naroon pa rin yung mga mainstay kong lavender gumamelas na napaka hirap alagaan.
naku, mai-post na nga yung gumamela na bigay nyo ni Jet.
Beautiful gumamelas.I love the colors,never seen anything like this before.
