So nice to see her snake plant blooming.

Snake plant has such pretty flowers.

Her Cordyline Red Sister plants are also flowering.

The flowers are so pretty.

They do look like orchid flowers.

Once upon a time, I too had this plant in my garden but no more.

Found this truck model next to the lobby of the hotel we were staying in when we were in Penang.

And these portraits on the wall at the same place.

These must be some famous celebrities.

it is better to have self-control than to control an army.

Salted Egg Yolk Cookies, Boiled Chickpea & Lazy Dinner

Last week, I had a breakfast appointment with 2 friends. We haven't met up for months since the 2nd movement control order. Hubby and I woke up early and we had plenty of time for our morning walk and returning home to get ready before driving out to meet my friends.

Sunrise at 7:45am.

My friends and I went to a new eatery to try curry noodle. We were busy talking and I forgot to snap photos of our breakfast. The curry noodle was like any average curry noodle and nothing special about it. On the drive home, we stopped to buy some cookies.

A rotating machine for toasting peanuts for making the cookies.

This machine removes the skin from the toasted peanuts.

My friend and I stopped to buy meat floss salted egg yolk cookies. The picture on the box shows cookies without meat floss. I think it is RM3 per cookie but I am not very sure.

I also bought the above snacks from the same place.

Boiled chickpeas for lunch.

I soaked the chickpeas in the morning before I went out.

I went into lazy mode.

I opened a can of mutton curry, blanched some home grown Brazilian spinach and cooked dried noodle for hubby. I cooked oat porridge for myself and ate most of the Brazilian spinach.

Snake plant aka mother-in-law tongue plant.

Snake plants rarely flower.

When it does, it is usually because the plants growing in a flower pot is root bound.

Let your roots grow down into him and draw up nourishment from him.

See that you go on growing in the Lord,

and become strong and vigorous in the truth you were taught.

Let your lives overflow with joy and thanksgiving for all he has done.

Growing Mother-In-Law's Tongue Or Snake Plant In My Garden.

I have the Mother-in-law's plant or Snake plant in my garden for many years. I have 2 pots of this plant and I placed them outside my house.

It is very hardy and grows easily. It is low maintenance. The plant is also drought tolerant. Over watering or bad drainage will cause rotting.

 This plant spread through rhizomes. Propagation can be done through whole plant with rhizomes or stem cuttings.

One day, I decided to decorate my plants with egg shells. My neighbour's grandchild loves to see the egg shells.

 Unfortunately, all the egg shells were blown away by strong wind and it happened a few times. I gave up collecting egg shells and at present they are without the egg shells.

 I just found out that these plants cleanse and purify the air. I intend to propagate one or two and grow them in decorative pots to place inside my house.

Having such great promises as these, dear friends,

let us turn away from everything wrong,

whether of body or spirit, and purify ourselves,

living in the wholesome fear of God

giving ourselves to him alone.

(2 Corinthians 7:1, The Living Bible-TLB)
