Life!!

My dear cousin just had a baby girl~~ She is as beautiful as her mother. Although they are on the other side of the planet, I made a baby blanket for her as always. I just love the patterns on both these fabrics, and I hope they will like it, too~~

May and June is the season of Golden Shower Tree (Cassia fistula). This is one of my favorite trees~~ Just like its name, when its in full bloom, the whole street is showered in gold. Such a beautiful sight!!!!

Since having a yard is such a luxury here in Taiwan, I’m enjoying my little garden on the balcony. Most of the plants I have right now are second hand plants left there by the previous owner. They were not in the best shape when I took over, so you can imagine the joy when I saw the orchid budding!!! Right now it is blooming so beautifully and its such a joy to see it everyday~~

Another one was a mystery plant…. When I took over, it only had some dried leaves left. So I put it in the corner but kept on watering it. To my very surprise, it bloomed last month into this flower I’ve never seen before!!! I Googled and learned that this is a Blood lily (Scadoxus multiflorus). What a wonderful surprise~~
