Look What You Made Me Do

I really wonder if the maidenhair fern (Adiantum sp. - Peruvianum???) really died this time cos putting in sphagnum moss did nothing. As a lsat resort, I'm putting her in Seramis clay granules with very diluted nutrient water (Seramis vitalnahrung) in a makeshift pots with the plastic food bowl.  I figured I won't dry her out this way this time. I'm very reluctant to buy a new one here because I only see the very tiny-leafed. What we have in Malaysia are of the size that I prefer. 
What's left of her. Roots were so brittle and black.

While potting I did notice a tiny clump of healthier(?) roots.

I thought I was going to lose P. Hastatum (Helena) as her leaves are turning yellow since last week and few days ago, they dropped but a new leaf unfurled. Today I noticed two new root nodes.


I snapped one of the juvenile leaves of P. squamiferum (Squami) when I watered her. Sigh.

Meanwhile, I have a new yellow Crocus flowering. I should get some fence for these. 

A couple of tulips are pushing out their flower buds too.


I didn't plant anything on this part of the yard and it appeared some bulb plants are growing.

New European Babies

Me being me, a crazy plant lady I acquired some new ones. 
Olive sapling - Olea Europa.

Never a Calathea fan but this one captivated my heart. It is Calathea Musaica 'Network' Goeppertia kegeljanii Network.  It also happened to be my first Etsy purchase and she came from France.

Moving on the outdoor plants - my mother-in-law got me this balcony planter with thyme and rosemary while I added in the Basil that I have. 

Husband bought me a pot of yellow mums. I didn't care for it well the blooms were gone by the time Autumn started.

I bought some Dahlia tubers and some spring bulbs that I don't remember to plant but I had to leave the country due to visa complications so they were planted into ground late by my MIL. 

 A single bayleaf from my MIL.

Horseradish my MIL planted whilst I was away.

Our new apartment comes with a lanky fig tree. 

Garlic chives, also from my MIL.

And of course, my life is not complete without hydrangeas. Yes... I finally get to enjoy many of the wonderful varieties! I got these two half-priced from Bauhaus as they were not pretty but it's ok! They will be pretty next year!


Autumn bulbs like tulips, Crocus and Daffodils are in the ground few weeks ago.
