Free Penang Peach Plumeria cuttings by Free Tree Society that they salvaged from a cut tree.

Hope they thrive.

My Maung Pani's inflo. I am patiently waiting for it.

I tried again planting edible plants, this is garlic.

Green onion. It didn't look like it's going to grow so I pulled the one behind out and lo and behold, it grew a new root.

Just planted this parsley. Was clearing the fridge and found this withered parsley.

My lemon grew more flowers. It seemed like I overwatered again. I suppose that caused the yellowing of the leaves. I also threw the moss away.

My plumeria corner!

Bought a new lotus - it's white. I also changed the pot to this. 

Mom gave me this pandanus (screwpine) to grow when I went home last weekend. It's expensive to buy the leaves in the city.

I brought back some wild poppy seeds from the vacation. It's been almost 2 weeks since but... let's hope for the best.

Gorgeous wild poppies.

Got myself another fiddle-leaf leaf for the living room last week. Only repotted today in the pot I used to grow lotus.

Brought Ms Coco to KL for a holiday :D

The Medium

I usually shop my gardening tools at Ace Hardware in Mid Valley but a recent visit to Ace Hardware in Publika just wowed me - they have a wider and attractive range. Today I bought a 12-litre New Zealand sphagnum moss and more perlite to repot BF's pitcher plant. I also bought some coco peat save for future plumeria rooting too. The Saree cutting had rot too I had to cut them away and dry the tips again. I'm just missing one thing - neem oil. I suppose I could buy it when I'm visiting Europe this month. Yes, I'll be traveling again and I will bringing a couple of plumeria cuttings for BF's mom and partner. They love gardening, I hope they would enjoy plumeria as much as I do.
I'm very happy that the guppy has given birth - last count was 16 babies. I have removed some of the evasive duckweeds, I can see the guppies are happy about that. BF seems happy to see the babies. I think at one point I would have to donate the guppies to the neighbourhood fish shop for sale.

I was pretty industrious after spending the weekend with a bout of stomach flu (fever included) - I cleaned up the filthy floor at the balcony. I pulled out the dead hydrangea and cleared the soil. I changed the position of the stick that straightens my Kauka Wilder. I fastened the tall lotus leaf with wire so it would stand straight. And oh, I'm experimenting garlic growing too.

I should be investing in another fiddle fig leaf for the living room after I return from my European vacation. My kitchen is a bit dark so I'm unsure if I should put a fiddle fig leaf there, it's looking a bit sad there.

And just wanna share that I felt so good that I did some gardening today :D

Glory Days

Last Saturday saw me and my sister braving the rain and went to two separate nurseries - Selangor Green Lane Sungai Buloh and Green Mart Tropicana (the latter is my regular joint). I bought more plants. Heh.

Inedible lemongrass, serai wangi. The leaves were so fragrant oh my god, it blew me away. Bought this to keep mosquitoes away. Hope it works.

Pink lotus. Finally. I sealed the potholes with epoxy putty but I'm unsure if it's working. Water still leaks a bit from somewhere. The body of the pot is also leaking - I didn't waterproof it. We even managed to snag 6 guppies for RM4 from a nursery. The petshop nearby sell one for RM1.50. What bargain.

 My pale pink plumeria, which one plumeria expert thinks it's a seedling, looking very pretty in a new pot and ballet pink gravel.

 My Gina Red cutting is going to say hi soon. Excited.

 My Malaysian Red, my first love. It's good to know it's still going strong.

 A broken branch of my Maung Pani cutting is also looking good. My Salmon Pink cutting didn't survive, it got rotten but I managed to salvage a few inches of the tips and they are being calloused. Will stick them to the soil again in a few days.

My adenium upgraded - looking so much better.
