Wildflower : Torenia Fournieri (Wishbone Flower)
I thought this flower plant went extinct in the garden... Well it has found a nice spot to grow back after some months, probably from the seeds left by the previous plant.

Wildflower : Zephyranthes Rosea (Rain Lily)

Rain lilies, so named because of their tendency to burst into bloom after a rain, originally from Mexico, Guatemala and the grassy plains of South America. These clump-forming perennials start small, but when left in undisturbed will develop over several seasons into truly impressive sights. Poke these little bulbs in here and there; then forget them. One day you'll glance at your garden and there they'll be, blooming away.
Lovely starry blossoms, easy care, tough constitutions and inexpensive - rain lilies are hard not to love.
A beautiful sight can be seen at KLCC with white rain liles /fairy lilies (Zephyranthes candida)

Wildflower : Thunbergia Alata (black-eyed Susan vine)


Black-eyed Susan vines are cottage garden favorites. They look good in window boxes, mixed containers or climbing on trellises, arbors, fences or other structures around the home, and as a groundcover. Also effective in hanging baskets where the vine can twist around the basket supports or in patio containers with a small trellis. I found this plant along some roadsides in Kampar Perak.
