Progress

If you're wondering if the two aquatic plants in my patio are still alive, I've got good and bad news for you. The bad news is, the beautiful fern-like one is almost dead. I doubt the crinkly brown leaves will ever turn green again. It looks like a gonner.

The good news is, the reddish one is thriving albeit losing it's red hue. The new leaves are green and large. Still, I'm happy to see it alive and well. (below)

The dandelion from Petunia has grown bigger too. While it is treated as a pesky weed in many countries, it's a rarity here in Singapore.

My heart leapt when I saw a bud. I'm expecting flowers!

  8. JC - Not exactly. I have only one plant, if I use it, I'll have none. I'm waiting for the flower to turn into seeds. Then I will have a whole garden full of dandelions!
