To make Cranky Putz jealous

Hey, I couldn't resist. I know I have one reader who always come to my blog, and takes the time to encourage me (it's the comments CP, dey like water to your plants... ooops!).

So after reading her blog (a daily dose woulda been nice, but it seems she has to feed herself too, ergo a job gets in the way) about her
little office plant I could not help but show off a bit :-)

Sorry CP, is meh funny bone. Cyah write poetry nah :-) so I dedicating pictures of healthy plants fuh you.


This is the fever grass, also called lemon grass.

The 'podeina' aka Spanish Thyme I've been told.


The poinsettia, already trimmed and ready to grow for Christmas 2007.
This little fellow is going on 3 years old.

The lemon grass or fever grass as we called it in Trinidad was given to me by a neighbour (in Trinidad) on my last visit. I wrapped it in wet tissue, then in foil, then poked it into my suitcase. Unleashed in a glass of water until green shoots appeared then potted.

The poinsettia I bought here in England 3 years ago, but have been trimming it myself. As you can see, it has retained it's red colour until now.

The 'podeina' I got 3 weeks ago when mom and my sis surprised me, by turning up on my doorstep. The rest of the plants outside and it is raining so I am not able to take photos.

All three photos have the little bamboo in them.
