GREEN Fingers Day

Today is a rare day for MooMoo.  MooMoo wanted to wake up for an early LSD (Long Slow Distance) run in the morning but as usual, the night before she was too intoxicated with her iPhone.  Therefore, she only woke up around 930am.  

After showering, she went to take bus to "FAR EAST FLORA" at Thomson Road.  She decided to go get some plants to help her colleagues replant their Terrariums.  This is the 1st time going there.  After checking out the bus schedule, she hopped on the bus and off to the plant nursery.
The place is really huge with different sections for BIG plants, small plants, indoor plants, creeping plants, etc.  There were even another section for fresh cut flowers.  They even have trolleys for you to do plants shopping.  Cool yea...

Here's rows and rows of different sections for different types of plants.  They are also selling different types of pots and accessories to go with it.  

Here's all the Greens... without any flowers...  for those who like the 'Lalang-Lalang'... guess the one with the flowers are more difficult to take care and maintain as it will die faster... if not enough TLC (Tender Loving Care)
Here's one section for all the 'Terrariums'...  It's like a mini garden that's easy to maintain and does not need a lot of maintenance.  Looks real nice when they put all the plants together but it's pretty expensive.  It ranges for $50-$100++.
Then, there's the cactus section with all the colourful cactus.  MooMoo bought a couple of cactus as they just look so colourful and lovely.
There's also the Orchids section but MooMoo's not a big fan of Orchids though they all look so lovely.  Anyway, there's no room for big plants at MooMoo's house in Lion City.... not even her house.  LOL!!
MooMoo found a section with all the 'Heart' shape cactus... so CUTE!!! They are so creative as they painted the heart shape cactus with colourful paint.  Nice yea....
Here's some more of the 'HEART' shape cactus.  MooMoo's got one at home too... from Ms. Mo... it's guarded by Prickles the Porcupine... Haha!!
And guess what?!?  The 'Heart' shape cactus actually came from this plant... the original plant looks funny yea... kinda ugly actually... Haha... Ok, beauty lies in eyes of the beholder.... =p
MooMoo took this picture from the Fresh Flowers corner.  MooMoo just love the WHITE Roses... they look so white and lovely... ^=^
In the end, MooMoo decided to buy these plants and 2 cactus.  After buying the plants, she rushed back home to grab her gym bag and headed off to GYM to generate her HAPPY hormones.  ^=^
Maybe MooMoo should test out the Terrariums with cactus plant.  It could possibly survive longer since it does not need much water.
