Little Blooms

Sunday, January 31, 2010
Earlier when I saw the 'little bird flower' plant (read more in my earlier post) for the first time, I must admit that I didn't think much of it as I thought it's merely another plant that would be popular for just a while. But as Chinese New Year is drawing closer, this plant has suddenly attracted a lot of attention.Well, after growing...

Her secret: Years of gardening experience and her mighty greenfingers :-D The garden is simple in arrangement and decoration, yet very tidy and pleasant. One part of her garden is dedicated to...

Calathea

Wednesday, January 20, 2010
I have two Calatheas in my garden. The pics you see below are taken when they look their best. For me these two ferns are quite hard to please.

Last Sunday when I...

It turned out that all the seeds germinated. Now I could see three little plants in the pot....

Zee Zee Inflorescence Returns

Sunday, January 03, 2010
Below is a pic of my Zee Zee plant taken on the seventh day since the inflorescence started growing out from the soil. Funnily, the flower's position is about the same spot as the last one almost a year ago. It's definitely looking as pretty and hiding behind a midrib...After the spathe rolls down (like peeled banana!) on the eighth day, the whole...
