Mgambo Update: It’s Still Alive

My attempt at Bonsai did not kill the plant

Beauty in the Little Things

These plants are all the rage now and look who got one! Look at this beauty! The flowers start opening in the night a little after 12 am and by morning they are fully open. It's so exciting! I will be posting better quality pictures soon but I just couldn't wait to share.

Mgambo Update: New Project

My attempt at bonsai.

Pink Poui

I saw this lovely poui (Tabebuia rosea) while on my way to my friend's wedding. It's supposed to be pink but the colour was so pale it looked almost white. I was fortunate enough to get a picture while the car was driving by.

Mgambo Update: Strange Happenings

Growth

My discocactus is growing.

Santiago and Me

Meet Santiago. A cactus... He is green. He has no spines. I bought him at a pet store but they didn't know what he was. Santiago adds a little life to my desk at work. Beautiful isn't he?
