These are really huge and sweet smelling roses! 2 almost gone this morning, and 1 more left after spending 5 days with them! That is very long lasting if you ask me, especially for cut roses. beautiful. One day a room of roses will be grown and I’ll put a white nice bed and sleep in that room. Now, the roses are in their ‘bed’ in MY room. : )
Some how, I have this feeling that you will not be coming back.. yeah, I know, I’m weird that way! But I hope I’m wrong! Well, at least got this picture to remind us!
Who else can I go to for brainless banter, and intellectual discussion at the same time! But aiya, you do mumble way too much - a sign of your generation, surely! haha.
And yes, I will definitely try to visit! And you promised you will try to get a real nice apartment for all of us friends! heh - sabo.
All thanks to Yan wei and Yimin, went to the Herbarium at Singapore Botanical Gardens. Really, really nice, and such memories and inspirations! Thanks to Prof Benito too! He is a really, nice nice guy! All the talk about Moss, Liverworts, Lichen! Pai sae, I still don’t really know the differences! But I do know the difference between the algae and moss, now! hur hur. After the herbarium, we walked and I found this dirty colored hibicus that’s surely it’s natural color! Like huh and wow at the same time.
I do think that having people like the Prof around does grow the passion for plants. I’m already passionate about plants, but he just made it that much more interesting!
When I got back, I also found out what terrarium meant, I’d thought it meant ‘a collection of growing moss’. I’ve been googling ‘grow moss’, and the information is not exactly forth coming. Maybe it’s a hint that I should grown moss together with other plants.. Well, now at least I’m not talking nonsense with the professionals. heh. Still can’t seem to find info on just moss growing, though. Will do trial and error!
This Lichen above is called the Graphis because of its weird ‘fonts’ like structures. Try to make out a word! haha..
This is how I felt after the whole walk around the gardens! Quite telling since my next ‘time for myself’ thingy would probably to buy and ride a bike!
Yes, I was wondering why I keep hearing about death and found it odd. But not familiar. Until last night, when I realized that it was the ghost month, and for the past 2 years, have noticed that there were more deaths that happens during this time of the lunar year.
Last year was the continuous funerals that happened in my estate, all different people. This year, was just friends, or relations of friends who moved on to better pastures.
Yes, I’m mobid.
Noriko, I know you read this pretty often, so this is for you.
This was taken about almost a week ago, so they should start full bloom in about 2 weeks! I counted about 30 of these flower buds and more has grown since. AND, there was another tree that has even more flower buds!
Enjoy!
Update! These are the blooms a few days later!
Since when did ‘Industriousness’ become a moral virtue?
