Life In A Snapshot

One of the flowers growing beside the house that’s been planted by the former occupants. Sorry I don’t know what it is called so I am naming it a Blue flower. I am so tempted to remove it days after we moved in but it looks beautiful especially when it blooms. It never stops flowering so it’s great to have it. How I wish resources would be like these kind of flower. It never stops from pouring so we could save for our long term investment which is to buy gold bullion. The only problem with this plant is the flowers doesn’t last for days, unlike gold that lasts a lifetime.

The color speaks of my mood this morning. I hope I’d overcome it soon and change mood in a little while.

Teheee! After almost two years of waiting, my Bangkok Kalachuchi (Adenium obesum) plant bear flowers weeks after we moved. How stupid I am not to take photos of the first few flowers and what I only took are the second batch of flowers from another branch. It was worth the wait. I bought a cultured plant (around 3 inches tall then) for PhP10 during the Kadayawan 2008 Agri-Trade Fair. After two years of watering it and occasionally fertilizing it, flower buds start appearing a week after we moved from the apartment. I wasn’t expecting it will flower this soon! How I wish I know how to culture plants so I could produce hundreds of this in no time. A degree in horticulture is a must for me to mass produce plants from a single tissue but there’s no way I would go back to school just to get that degree. I just wanna learn the technicalities in tissue culture, that’s it. But if you are interested, I would suggest my alma mater or you just research college degrees where you will find accredited universities or colleges offering horticulture or tissue culture.

My Euphorbias are in bloom! I took out the camera today to take photos of my blooming Euphorbia plants but this is so far my fave of all the blooms. My plants almost stopped blooming when we were still living in the apartment because I rarely fertilize them. I have put complete fertilizer twice since we moved and now they are all blooming! Fertilizer serves as vitamins for the plants so it is necessary to fertilize them to supplement the nutrients that they need to keep them healthy and blooming. Now this reminds me that I ran out of complete fertilizer so I should include that in my shopping list come payday.
