i love my plants!

I never quite considered myself a person with green fingers.  In fact, I always thought that I wasn't so great with plants cos' for the very few times I had plants - they didn't flourish that well.  So you can imagine my delight when I saw my lipstick plant flowering!:) ain't it so pretty? :)

I guess all it takes is some love - that bit of attention and effort....and probably the sweet potato water I watered it with! ;)

tiring fun day

Today the hb and I cycled to a flower shop near our home and got a bigger pot for our plant, more soil and a lipstick.  Yup, you read it right - we got lipstick from the florist.  Here's proof!:)

kekeke...the lipstick is actually a plant.  it caught our eyes cos' it looks so pretty with the leaves overflowing down...and it sold itself when we saw the pretty flute like flowers!  :)

We went to the florist cos' my neighbour was telling me that our plant needed a bigger pot as the roots were not having enough space - so we went to get a bigger one.....and i re-potted it all by myself!   but i sure stank like crazy after all the cycling and re-potting!:)  what a simple yet really fun day!
