OMH. (oh my home!)--Flowers Edition (garden)

FINALLY, the end of the garden edition!

Ah, the distinguishable plant that almost every Thai house has to have: the crown of thorns plant. My mom has alot, but right now, they're not in bloom--they're still suffering the winter effects.

DOOD! These things are like poison ivy! You've gotta be careful! They cause skin irritation!

And, they cause skin irritation because of those thorn-like daggers! D:<

I think of Disneyland when I see these flowers

They're actually not flowers, but a weed...'tis a shame...

CHERRY TREE.

CHERRY TREE. just wait till summer edition: i'll upload hibiscuses, plums, peaches, cherries...the whole nine yards...

Ah, the onions (or leeks...)

I thought it was pretty funny that my mom jacked this shopping cart to help her weed the garden.

This is my passion fruit vine. It used to be GIGANTIC, but we trimmed it down. It never gave us fruit, but the flowers are pretty. But, it does attract alot of these nasty little hairy bugs.

Mint herb. We use it for salads, instead of basil because it's very hard to grow our holy basil (no, thats the name of it) without a certain amount of humidity.

Some kind of chili plant...its chilis looks like tomatoes

I think this is an Aloe Vera plant...

Another type of jasmine. Thai ppl like jasmine not only for the smell, but it's kinda a custom. We like to make garlands for blessings and whatnot with jasmine buds.

Loquat Tree! We have a kumquat tree somewhere...

Loquat tree. I dont think we'll have much loquats this year, but we'll see in the summer.

this is the jasmine vine from the other day's post. See? It writhes around my tree...

I never have to buy a Christmas tree; I always decorate this look a like.

More crown of thorns.

This is a flower from that onion-leek type plant. Honestly, the onion smell is worse than the original onion smell, but it tastes really sweet, for some reason...

Full shot

This is that chili-tomato plant I ranted on about earlier...

A dying Thai chili plant planted with one of the biggest pot of crown of thorns we have.
