The Newbie

As usual, when Hubby is away I will always do or buy something new for the garden. Stumbled upon this chilli plant at the nursery. I think it is kinda cute...

And re-arranged some of the potted planst. I thought it is a good idea to place the two heliconias outside the slim windows... so when we are inside looking out, there is always something green, something blooming :)

All By Myself

Hubby is now in the Netherlands attending a 5-week course, while yours truly is home-sitting again.
June is going to be a very busy month at work, so at least I will have plenty to do for most of the days, and maybe weekends. Meanwhile, I suppose I can fill the quiet weekends reading and doing little bits of home stuff e.g. like throwing out 2-year old goodness-knows-what from the fridge. Sounds like a splendid idea. And the two dogs will always enjoy a few cuddles from time to time :)

Counting down the days till my mom and dad arrive in Miri to keep me company later this month....

More Orchids!

New Addition

This is the new family member in my mini orchid shed. Please be good and try to survive and bloom like your siblings ok?

My Orchid Plant Has Flowers!

I took the plunge into the unknown and scary realm of orchid planting six months ago. I saw how mom could keep hers alive with minimal care and I did some research on it for a while before buying my first plant. So I got myself some and kept my fingers crossed. Dad even made me a nice little orchid hanging corner beside our main door.At long last, one of them plants bloomed! There are now 3 sprays of purple flowers and 2 on the way. I am very happy!
