Kokedamak(Moss balls)~~~

The other day,I went shopping for some summer plants and I found one amusing type of gardening plants...

They are called kokedamak or moss balls..

They are actually moss wrap around a ball of earth and we just need to keep them damp so that the moss will growinto the earth balls.

Then in the center of the moss ball there is a small hold where you can plant in any type of small flowers plant or any green plants,then you just need to add abit of soil into that small hole to cover it up.

You can place the moss ball on a small garden plate and water them as to keep them moist.I bought several of them and place them in various parts of my home.

They are very beautiful as you can see from them the second photo above..

By looking at them,I feel they make us have a cooling feeling..against the summer heat...

Don't you thing so??? Hehehehe...

My iPhone(16 GB)~~~

I got my new iPhone yesterday,and I can't wait to show you all...kekeke...

I am still very blur blur about the setting...

It is a 16 GB with a 3G serving..and it is not so expensive as they are having a campaine now...(with discounted unlimited internet useage ).

My iPhone is black in colour and I bought a green casing to protect my iPhone from "apple store.com"The back of the iphone with the green casing looks like this in the photo above,as you can see the "Apple Icon"..through the green casing..

I am also using my son's iphone to show you the contrast of how my iPhone looks like after I encased it in green.

I spend the whole day trying to install all my favourite songs into its iPod..and also set up my address book..

I also try how to surf the internet and also watch several youtube dramas..kekeke..

I am still very confuse with its setting so maybe I will be very quite these few day...hahaha..

Wish me luck ,ya.......as an old aunty is trying to be hi-tech in iPhone settings...hahahaha.

Ready for harvesting,,my Uan Sui's seeds~~~

As I said in my previous post..my Uan Sui's plants bears flowers and later the flowers withers and they form many small green berries..

These green berries are now all turning dark brown and also drying up..

They looks like small dried peppers seeds..as you can see,I took some of them and snap their photo using my fingers as the background..hahaha..

I collected those dried seeds and sun them again on a sunny day..

I then prepare some of the seeds for planting and keep the remainers for next summer or will plant them again if the first batch of planting is not sucessful..

So,wish me luck..ya !!!Lets hope my newly harvested Uan sui's seeds will grows into many Uan Sui's plants for me this year...hehehehe..

My cute portable HDD~~~

A few weeks ago,my eldest son saw me saving my songs files into several of my pen drives,and he asked me.."Don't you get confuse which songs is in which pen drive?"I have altogether 8 pen drives...hahahaha..

I told him,all my pen drives are only 2 GB size,so when they are full,I have to put all my "things" into another pen drive.

My son says that I could put all of them into a portable HDD,and no need to keep so many pen drives.

So I joking asked him,"Are you going to present me one?"..and to my surprise he says okay...hahaha..

So ,yesterday(sunday) morning,he took me to a computer shop and let me choose for a portable HDD.

I was looking at several types and can't make up my mind,when he brought a pink portable HDD to show me.

He says,"Okasan(mummy)..I know you like pink and this portable HDD suits you fine.."

I looked at it and it was love at first sight for me,just the perfect pink...hahaha...

I told him.."wow..my favourite pink and it is so cute!!"

My son says that it can handle until 320 GB, and also it is very compact size..9cm by 12cm and weighs only 190gms.

My son says that I can carry it inside my handbag and saved all my "properties(keh hoai)" in it..hahaha..

I like the the way that it can even keep its usb cable in its usb socket as shown in the photo below..So I no need to reattach the usb cable each time I want to use it..hehehe..

I will sew a cute pink pouch to keep my cute pink portable HDD ..kekekek..

How? Do you all think it is cute or not??? Hahahahahahaaa....(^0^)

Uan Sui's seeds~~~

I hope you all remember my previous post about Uan sui's flowers.

I was so surprised that after the flowers drops off,I found that little small berries are formed.They are so cute,like little small green beads(manek)...

I will wait to see what happen when these small green beads turn ripe,maybe I will be able to get the uan sui's seeds inside.

This is the first time,I get to see real uan sui's seeds fresh..hahaha..

If I am lucky,I would be able to save the seeds for my next planting..

Wish me luck,okay??? (^0^)

see how they looks alike~~~

The above photo is our famous "Fu kwai fa".The real name of this flower is "Adenium obesum" or commonly called "desert rose".I love this flower very much but it is hard to find it in japan.

So ,today..I will show you a type of flower which is very similar with our famous "fu kwai fa"(adenium obesum)or "desert rose".

Notice the shape and struture of the flowers...from the photo above..

The name of this flower is called "Dipladenia Boliviensis"...

I like to call this flower "japanese fu kwai fa" as it is hard to call it by its real name..hahahaha..

The leaves are a bit round shape compare wit our "fu kwai fa" and it does not have that thick plant stem or obesum as "fu kwai fa" have..

If grown on the ground,it can grows quite tall and tends to climbs as cucumbers plants..They also have many colours,such as yellow,white ,dark red and pink...

At present ,I have 2 plants..one dark red flowers and another is pink flowers.

I was thinking of buy a few more plants...like having yellow flowers or pinkish white flowers is also not bad,right???

Cherry trees~~~

It is going to be summer very soon,and now there are alots of flowers and plants out for sale.

I was looking for some flowers and house plants when I saw these cherry trees for sale.

They are not so big,I think they might have been "budgrafted" type,or should I say,the "katek" (midget)type..hehehe..

They are not so expensive either,you can just buy them back and plant them in your garden.

I like these japanese cherrys,as they are soft and sweet,compare with the califonia's cherrys which are dark red in colour and are not so sweet.

The probelm is I am not sure we can get them to bear some many cherrys or not by ourselves.Those on sale are grown by the "specialist planters"..hahaha..and that is why they can afford to offer them on sale..but what happen to us who does not have "green fingers"?

Anyway,I do enjoy admiring at these cherrys trees,and hope oneday,I will have the courage to buy one of them and plant it in my garden...hehehehe..
