Melaka Urban Greenery

Pistia stratioses or kiapo.

Some ornamental whose name escapes me, and mugwort (damong maria) doing quite well. It seems a thing to grow stuff in styrofoam boxes here...

... Like this pandan!

Unintentional green roof.

Wild Amaranth or Kulitis


Kulitis, the thorn-less version of uray, is an edible spinach-like leaf that grows everywhere. It has been described in permaculture material as an "encouraged weed", which it definitely is, to many people in the world. It is delicious.

Plants in High Places


Euphorbias and sanseveria along a wall in Davao City. Beside is a thriving plant growing from a crack-- possibly an alagaw.

Since I'm moving around lots, I'll be stepping up my street photos to bring attention to the plants that cross the everyday person's path. I feel like the seeds of some kind of commonsense, urban garden wave is there. I will also aim to make people a bit happier with the small plant-related details they see everyday.
