Panabon (Ardisia brevipetiolata)

The firstime was a failure due to super dry fruits/seeds. Last August, I got a chance to germinate again a handful of Panabon (Ardisia brevipetiolata) fruits and here it is. It took 3 months to germinate in the common pot. 😍🌱🌳





Lots of flowering species at BORIS PRIVATE SANCTUM


Badak from Palawan

Outplanted this Badak (Artocarpus integer). This is grown from seed of the ripe fruit from Brooke's Point, Palawan.
