Oh my Daisy!

I love daisies. They give me a sunny and refreshing feeling. But they are often sadly mistaken for chrysanthemum flowers, which is actually a larger breed of daisies, or so its Chinese name suggest. And because of the showing of Daisy in 2006 starring Jeong Woo-Seong and Jeon Ji-Hyeon, I became even more mesmerised with daisies.




One month ago, I received a pot of daisies on my office desk, its just like how the movie goes. But I know who is the sender of cause =), unlike Jeon Ji-Hyeon in Daisy 2006. On the first day, there were three flowers. After a week, there were four. Look how much it flourished under my care!


I know flowered pots don't maintain its flourish for long, the flowers grow and die, its a natural cycle. So when the flowers finally withered, I plucked them out and cut away those yellowish leaves. If you see closely there are still young flower buds growing out (left). They looked healthy at first, but after a few weeks (right)

Ok I admit that I neglected it during my trip and course for two weeks, but I did not expect its life expectancy to be so short! My colleague recommends money plants which thrives well in office conditions. But I do hope to find something more interesting and varied.
