My new favourite spot in the house is currently my balcony cum "garden".
Last two weeks, I dragged Mom to Sungai Buloh to get meself some plants.
A lil bit of history - I tried caring for flowers before, but all died because one, I didnt water them *facepalm* and two because my balcony gets direct sunlight during the day. So none of those "feminine" flowers could stand the scorching sun.
So, with all that in mind, I specifically wanted to get plants and flowers that are more "macho" against the sunlight. Went to the nursery and asked the abang to recommend me some "tahan panas" plants.
And so far, my lil garden is looking so green and good! Ahhh, the flowers are blooming and the green plants are healthy looking! I bought some lanterns and have tea at the balcony these days. That was just so serene. Life's small lil pleasures.
Oh, I also think that my talking to the flowers and plants help them grow. I think they love me talking to them, and c'mon if you know me, you'd know that I absolutely LOVE talking!
Here are some pictures of my favourite spot.
The view during the day.
And the view during the night. Sorry, you can't really see the plants at night, but I just wanted to show the mood the lanterns and candles exudes!
Since I took these pictures, I have added some more plants. Oh, I also have a rosemary and a basil! I want to get some chili plant next.
I also want to paint those garden furniture to a pale yellow colour. I think that would make my garden more lively and vibrant.
For now, I'm happy :)
