Hello, hello, Hive gardeners!!
How's your garden? I hope your plants are thriving. 😊
Well, today, I won't be sharing about my garden, instead, I'll show you my neighbor's.
I went to my neighbor's house to share some afternoon snacks. My husband and I found out that our neighbor's gate is closed from the inside. So we tried to call them from the gate, but nobody's answering. While I was at the gate, I noticed the yellow bell flowers at the corner of their lot. So, I took some photos.

It rained just before we went there, that's why you can see raindrops on the flowers and leaves. The flowers look so healthy and vibrant against the old and rusty metal fence.
Near these yellow bell plants, I saw a few santan flowers, also known as Ixora. They're just growing wildly in front of the gate.
Looking at these santan flowers, I remembered we had planted some around the house a few years back. But they are no longer there. Maybe they dried out, withered, or maybe my mom pulled them out. I can't remember.

While I was taking some pictures, my husband was shouting at my neighbor's at the top of his lungs. 😂
After a few more shouts, my neighbor came out. She said they were doing something inside, and they didn't hear someone calling. My husband gave her the snack we brought, and I grabbed the opportunity to ask my neighbor for some santan cuttings 😁 She gladly said yes.
They said, Santan isn't that hard to grow. They thrive in hot and humid environments. I hope I can make it grow 🤞
