[StH] Pink for Michaela

We see a lot of red bottlebrushes (Callistemon) everywhere - but there is a 'Perth Pink' variety. My neighbour (over the fence) has one such tree and when it blooms, it is really very nice. (Spring - October 2011)

Colours of Chinese New Year (Part 1)

Mandarins (and kumquats, oranges, etc) by virtue of their gold colour is a MUST during the Chinese New Year. In this photo, you can see the two small citrus plants with Michaela and Luke. By the way, this is my favourite photo of the season. This photo was taken at Jalan Mengkudu where Great-Uncle Francis, Great-Auntie Irene, Aunt Marie and Stephanie and Emily live.

Water lilies (Nymphaea Sp)

Water lilies (Nymphaea sp) bloom on stalks that rise above the water. Lotus flowers bloom on the surface of water. These two lovely water lilies are at Jalan Lepas. That lovely girl next to the blooms is pretty Michaela Kate Lim !!! From an article at the Sungei Buloh Nature Park website http://www.naturia.per.sg/buloh/plants/water_lily.htm I read that one can harvest seeds from these flowers. Agatha should give it a try.
