Flower shopping near AVA today, Dad has the sudden urge to get an indoor water fountain for our house, as we were browsing around, Mum found Asparagus in the nursery, selling $18 per pot. This is my first time seeing asparagus with my own eyes...not my favourite vege but definitely Mum's fav...Pretty!
We are having a great time, this is not only huge but with lots of variety of flowers, plants or trees to suit everyone.
We have a little pond outside our unit and it was in terrible state after our Japan trip because my dear neighbor grandchildren have been creating havoc at it and my dear fishes is almost gone upon our return.
Mom & I are very upset but she never give up...she bought more fishes, "cheappo ones" like guppies, molly and some "Long Kang fish" and my pond is once again buzzing with life. We are very happy to see fishes swimming in the pond.
One of the "LongKang fish" is pregnant and Mom seperate it and about 3 weeks later, we found little fish fry. Not long after, another LK fish is pregnant too, Mom again seperate and we wait patiently...in the end we have about 30 fish fry but sadly most didn't make it and now there are only 9 of them survived. We were told not to introduce them to our pond as the bigger fish will eat as dinner. Now they are still swimming happily in our little fish bowl.
But this is not all, Mom made a discovery and found one of our shrimp is PREGNANT too! She is not optismatic if we are able to breed those shrimp but anyway, we try...it is a very long wait and miracle happen, we found little zoeae in the maternity chamber.
They made it and We are really happy and thrill. As there are really really tiny, Mom can't clean the MC as she afraid she might accidentally remove our little zoeae.
Sorry no picture to show cause it is really impossible to take.
My neighbour's grandchildren was caught red handed by my uncle yesterday for "playing with my pond". When discovered, they quickly ran to lower floor instead. Mum was quite upset because she believed this is not the first time they done that...now with enough evident, she went to our neighbour and highlighted the incident to their grandparents whom are very understanding folks. Mum hoped they can explain to their grandchildren and stop the mischievous act. I hope they learn. It really pain our heart when we witnessed the death of our fish and shrimp...
In the evening, we went to shop for some plant or flower for Chinese New Year but Daddy bought me a "bowl of pond" instead. The shopkeeper was very nice and gave me 10 fishes too! Dad even allowed me to try to catch those fishes using my hand!! (despite Mum disagreed...oops...) Oh...I'm so happy and overwhelmed with all the excitement, can't wait to put together the pond, water plant and of course, my lovely fishes. I even offered to help Daddy & Mummy to carry my new pet home as they are already hand full. It looked plain from this picture but Daddy told me that tomorrow he will put more water plant to make it look better and complete.
Mom bought a Ribena plant from a farm that also sell those wheatgrass drink during a excursion organsizered by RC.
She was told about the good benefits of consuming the flower of this plant but the main reason she bought was because she like the lovely red colour of this plant.
Unfortunately, this plant is already "sick" when she buys and about 2 weeks later, mould and white spots started to appear on every parts of the plant and she needs to discard it before the fungus or whatsoever "infect" her other pot of plants.
How can someone do such a dishonest thing? So bad!
This is the first time Mom bought a plant w/o the presence of Daddy. So Mom, you need to be more careful when choosing a plant next time...if it ever going to happen...
It looked plain from this picture but Daddy told me that tomorrow he will put more water plant to make it look better and complete.
