Update on Brinjal Plant : Jun-09

Earlier this week, Aunty Nancy's brinjal plant bloomed its first flower since arrival! We have been speculating for a while when we saw tiny bud-like sprouts on its stem - whether they are leaves or will they become flowers.. Well, one of them bloomed!! :) Now I know, brinjal flower will close its bloom at night only to bloom again the next morning..

First flower..

This morning however, the much-awaited fruit from a withered first flower did not appear. Instead, the flower just dropped off.. :`(

Then we caught sight of an even more beautiful second flower!! Hopefully this beautiful flower will hang on more securely onto its stem and eventually bear fruit..
