my not so green hands

Taking care of Orchids is not easy. I remember my mom used to spend hours in the garden bercucuk tanam. And I would play badminton or just listen to my walkman sambil duduk atas boot kereta and goyang kaki. That was how uninterested I was.

However, now is a different scenario altogether. We don't have a garden but our house is slowly dipenuhi with pokok². It started this Winter before the big 2011 celebration that my husband decided we should have some 'greenery' in our house. So we bought a pair of Zebra Grass and a pair of pokok that we have no idea apa nama dia. Followed by a very pricey Orchid that turned out dead after 2 months. (Sedihnya).

Now the history of pokok² is building up. And right now, we have 2 lovely blooming Orchids (placed next to our night table. On another note, we FINALLY ada katil. Before this we were sleeping on a tilam (mcm orang bujang). But Carie decided to give up her sofa bed and akhirnya kami tido atas katil. woohoo!).

Along our corridor ada pokok Yucca (2.99€), which needs very little water (easy care) and a lovely Vriesea. The two Zebra Grass' are still alive and now dia dah panjang². I put one in our bathroom and another dia mcm mobile (currently in our living room). I also have some dead Gerberas but the leafs are still nice and lovely. I pulled out the dead Gerberas and left the leafs for perhiasan. It is now located dalam bathroom jugak. For my birthday, I received a bouquet Roses sorted with pinkpurple Chrysanthemum. Cantik sangat. And also, last week, I bought a bundle of white Chrysanthemum.

So here are some pictures of my flowes and indoor pokok². I apologize kalau pics are not so nice since I have backache skarang nih and susah nak tunduk² .. Plus, I am not in the mood for intense photography, due to my backache. I should really go to the doctor :(
