Seven Roselle plants are growing healthily, enjoying full sun exposure from dawn to dusk. The other day Wan Zainuddin came over and looked around the garden. At first he thought that row of seven roselle was bendi or lady's fingers. He grows roselle too but the leaves are much longer. I remembered searching through internet for information on roselle when I noticed UKM (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia) had developed 3 new varieties of roselle (New varieties of roselle produced by UKM) .
I don't know which particular variety I am growing even though I have been growing the same variety over three years. The original seed came from my sister's garden in Pantai Remis. So that variety had gone through quite a process of acclimatisation over in Pantai Remis, Putrajaya and now Tanah Merah, Kelantan, not forgetting friends throughout the country had these as giveaways. And the same variety of seeds had travelled far overseas to gardeners/bloggers gardens. That's what happen to a single seed pod of roselle from Rosiah's (my younger sister) garden in Pantai Remis, Perak, Malaysia.
