Summer greens in Nuvali

Look at what greeted us in Nuvali after a year of being city-based:

Ligaw na sitaw! This just grew in the wild.

This is our papaya tree out front, now bearing fruit:

Perfect for tinola, I\’ve been told. This tree was not even an inch high a year ago.

Was also nice to see our ivy slowly making progress in covering our front garden wall…

…And our passion flower vine climbing all around the trellis:

The flower of this vine is so lovely. Here\’s a pic from last year:

One thing I miss about living in the South is the abundance of fresh flowers. These are my neighbor\’s purple blooms by the sidewalk:

The Green Ribbon is also in much better shape now, although personally I\’d still prefer to leave it a little wilder or less manicured.

All in all, Nuvali is getting greener and greener — which is its promise after all. I just hope the management is ready to hire grasscutters round the clock, especially with the coming rainy season!
