Last night my mom, aunt and I went to Far East Flora just like we do almost every year before Chinese New Year to buy flowers. Flowers are gorgeous.
Pussy willow is a must every year...but I wonder WHY they call it pussy willow (Peg can't stand that name so she just calls it WILLOW...damn act cool sia). And what's it's significance? It's so annoying cuz every year I have to pluck the damn brown things from the buds and I must be extra careful not to break the buds off somemore.
Orange trees are seen every year as well...that one I can understand why.
Orchids are gorgeous. I love the purple and white ones the most.
These are Axaleas...I'm not sure if that's how they are spelt. They grow pink when they are in acidic soil, blue when they are in alkaline soil and purple in neutral soil. HOW COOL IS THAT!?
I thought the purple chrysanthemums were gorgeous. Much nicer than the usual boring yellow ones.
I'm amazed by this flower every year. It's called "Cockscombe", but I call it the "brain flower".
I'm sure you can understand why.
