To my pleasant surprise, it really didn’t die within 3 weeks. However, I like colours and didn’t feel motivated to get more leafy plants after that one miserable plant.
A couple of weeks ago, I was at Jewel when I came across an NTUC which sold plants better looking than the average NTUC. so I bought a few pretty plants, which included a tiny pot of fern, a red-leaf plant and a plant with multi shades of green.
A few days ago, I saw a plant with tiny purple flowers at Cheers. It was $3.90. I decided to get it even if it’s for a few days. Subsequently, I bought another small pot of pink flowers at NTUC.
When I opened the door to go out, it felt uplifting to see pretty plants and flowers greeting you.
Perhaps there’s some truth in the lyrics of Edelweiss,
“Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me”
Today I was at Bishan and found my way to the stretch of nurseries at Thomson Road.
I bought a pot of pink flowers at Far East Flora and towards the closing time at 7.10pm, I discovered this nursery Candy Florist which sold hydrangeas! My mother loved them and I found a pot that was light enough for me to carry home. It was $26 but I thought it was really pretty and worth it.
I have also ordered watering cans from Taobao which will arrive next week.
Can’t wait to use them on my pretty flowers!
