Concrete Garden

In Singapore, almost everyone lives in multistory apartments. As such, greenery is lacking. However, some residents would take it upon themselves to have their own garden along the corridors, one such person who blocks the corridor with her plants would be my mother.

Mum grows all sorts of flowers and plants. She really likes gardening and she claims that talking to plants while watering them makes them grow better.

I talk to my nendoroids everyday but they don’t seem to grow at all. Maybe I need to speak in Japanese?

The plants which is grown makes for very interesting pictures. The things which we take for granted everyday is usually very good stuff for pictures.

This plant has very interesting leaves. Does the dark green parts have more chlorophyll and hence make more starch? If so then why only those parts are dark green?

What were these again? Hibiscus right? I remember asking this question a very long time ago. Was figuring out who to pose with them purple flowers and figured out I probably need a Zange.

Gardening is dirty business, so is putting my little daughters on the soil.

Yellow flowers, belonging to my neighbour’s garden. The lady next door grows more flowers as compared to my mum. The header picture of Rin against white flowers also belongs to her garden.

Spot the Rin.

It’s good that there are these concrete gardens in the concrete jungle of Singapore. I’d die if I don’t see greenery. Do you have a garden with nice plants too?
