Orchid no. 2

Two days ago, Gunnar told me to stay put in his apartment after we had dinner. He grabbed his jacket, car keyes and asked me if he could borrow my cellphone and headed out the door, assuring me that he's not going to do something weird or dangerous. So I stayed behind in his apartment.

About 45 minutes later he came home with a huge paperbag fra Plantasjen and he was talking with his father on the phone. He handed me the bag and I went into the kitchen and opened the bag. The first thing I pulled ut was a bottle of orchid nutrition and then I figured it out. He bought me an orchid. I wanted an orchid because my last one kind of died because we opened the freakin' window in my dormroom so it froze to death. So Gunnar invested in a new orchid just for me. :D And it's so beautiful! You will see that I've added my dearest orchid to the table list. Pictures will come.

Our garden.

Our garden is small. So far it's the home of a halfdead bonzai tree, one "lucky" bamboo plant and one orchid... 3 bamboo sticks died. When it comes to the living; 30 bamboo sticks. YAY! So far a total of 3 1/2 casualties... and rising, I guess..

How to take care of your first "child"?

When buying a plant. Read carefully on how to take care of it. It is good to keep your full attention on the plant for a while, so you get to know it. Keep it warm and healthy. Provide enough sunlight and fresh air.

Table test

I have to try out a table in this post. Just to see how it reacts with the webpage design, Therefore I'm posting this "Plant schedule". :)
