Flower Power 2

Mood: immersed in the dramatic overtures of Phantom of the Opera



CONIFER [See Blog-entry dated Dec 05, 2005]
AGE: 3 weeks old
HEIGHT: 11.5 inches [0.5 inches taller]
CONDUCT: shedding grain-sized acorns
by the bucket; the cutest thing
to sit inside my window sill.
TIP: this breed of conifer do not scorch
under direct sunlight, so allow it to drink
up the warmth of the sun!



Be wary of what you say: You never know when you have to eat your words *lor*. [See Blog-entry dated Dec 05, 2005 for what this writer accused about flowering plants] I introduced an orchid sister to my conifer. Why had I overlooked this breed of flower?

FENGSHUI TIP: For those born in the year of the SNAKE, place a plant that has red/purple bloom, such as orchid, is rumored to encourage luck in romance. Unlike GARDENIA, my orchid baby is as much a breeze as care-taking for my conifer. There are pretty things which aren’t a pain in the ass.


ORCHID
AGE: A week old
BLOOM: 23 [9 more from date of purchase]
CONDUCT: standing prettily immediately behind my front door, welcomes me home with her reddish-purple bloom.
TIP: even though orchids adore moist conditions, its roots ain't too happy sitting in water or very moist soil...use charcoal instead of soil in pots...charcoal absorbs water and time-release it as moisture!


*Which plant shall I bring in to accompany the existing two?* anyone with an informed suggestion: perhaps an herbal one, such as basil or dill?
