Alone. Waiting.

I passed this small pond with a fountain in the middle. It was a serene corner. But nobody was there. The chair was empty and the pond was without spectators.

In My Garden

After doing some readings on photography (and not really successful), I went out -not far-, to the front garden, and took some pictures.

Batavia flower. A survivor of mites and ants.

This one is Air Mata Pengantin flower. I took the seeds from the Mataram Palace in Solo. The seeds grew well at my garden and at my parents' garden.

And then... here comes the roses. I have this rose bush at the fence. It was planted to keep away cats from entering. I have the white, red, and the red batik. The red batik only bloomed twice, if I'm not mistaken. I plan to plant more roses with different colors to improve my bush... haha!











Not so focus, I'm afraid. This reading might help you take more beautiful pictures in your garden.

Always my favorite

More Adenium

My Adenium Collection

My first Adenium (named Adenium Number One) in our new a.k.a own house is from my father's collection. He didn't give it to me willingly, though. I asked for it from my mum and she said something like, "quick. Put it in your car!" Fortunately, the plant grows well in our house so my father's grudge didn't last long.

Adenium Number One

After that, my aunt gave me four others. Those plants were still young when she gave them to me. They are still small right now but two of them have bloomed once or twice. Their flowers were small and the color was pale pink, not as bright as Adenium Number One. I have to admit, my first Adenium is by far still the best of all. When the flowers bloom, the flowers cover the whole plant.
