first Green Thumb Sunday

let's see how this works out. for now, I am restricted to taking pictures with the camera in the Motorola SLVR cellphone. not the best cameraphone out there (and certainly not the best camera), but it at least lets me take pictures. I'm currently saving my pennies to go buy myself a good digital camera; maybe I'll make it my CCNP certification gift to myself, yay!




anyway, this, if you can't make it out, is a gardenia blossom, specifically Gardenia jasminoides 'Veitchii', that was growing in a pot on my stoop back home. this picture cannot do it justice at all: it is way blurry, but mostly because you can't have its absolutely intoxicating perfume in your nose. (anyone who has had success growing one can attest to this.) this was taken after a rainy day (notice the water droplets). as to its whereabouts nowadays, I hope it's still alive: I'm the one who takes care of all the plants whenever I'm home; when not, my mom makes an effort to keep them alive, but this one might unfortunately be too much. I guess I'll be doing lots of plant triage and damage control (as well as schoolwork) when I get home for Thanksgiving!
