Left: Shaggy is easily the most adorable plant of the lot. He was adopted from an abandoned green-wall mock up at Orchard Road. It is an easygoing fern that likes looking at the sun from the shady balcony.
Far Left: Mr. Anderson is a maroon-stemmed Philodendron, the latest addition to our family. In the local landscaping industry call this type of philodendron 'Anderson's Red', hence his name.
Corner Top Left: Green Rabbit is a new addition to the family, and she came from the same shop as Mr. Anderson.
Top: Blue Butterfly Seedling is grown from a double-petaled Clitoria ternatea seed that I picked up from a cooking course in Chiang Mai back in August 2013. Because of the house renovation, it took me a while to get it sown, and out of 20 or so seeds, only this one germinated
Centre ‘Baby’ is the star of this small garden. Baby was sown on this balcony pot from a seed collected from one of my work site. We had to cut down its mum because she has basal root rot. Age: 4 months. It is a seedling of a fast-growing tree species that has the potential to grow into a large (10-15 meter) tree in about 10 years or so.
Top Right Corner: Grey Vanda is an orchid that I picked up from the Singapore Garden Festival. It has a plain-looking but sweet-smelling grey-yellow-purplish flower.
Right: Diehard is a Ficus twig that I picked up from the garden downstairs. I had it put on a vase of water for a few months in the kitchen where it grow lots of roots. It probably does not like it, but since it is a strong plant, it did not die, and as reward for its perseverance, I recently got a pot to put it in.
Far Right: White Spider is a gift from my friend Sadaf!
Bottom Right: Mini Shaggy is a pot of newly split Nephrolepis fern.
