apologies

sorry, we have to postpone the newspaper article post as the piece of paper is lost...

flowers

OK recently, i had a look at the newspapers and i found some articles on nature...
its about some flowers i guess...
OK lets look at them....




this flower (sorry about the blurred images) is called the
desert rose
it is drought tolerant,a succulent plant that produces attractive
pink or red trumpet shaped flowers. These also come in other colours if you are interested.
it is best grown in well drained soil with lots of sunlight
and it can be left to dry out for short periods only any more and it may die. oh and no over watering... it will lead to rot now you wouldn't want that right?

this is called the scarlet star
it looks like a pineapple and it is a pineapple relative.
its a hybrid and the colour can range from red to pink, orange,
and recently, purple. it is much safer than the pineapple as the leaf edges are spineless.
these flowers grow in semi shaded area in an open mixture that is moist at all times. it traps water and empty it every few days...
its to prevent mosqiutoes.

oh im out of time.... i'll give you the next three flowers to look forward to on the next post
they are... the fittona, tropical pitcher (carnivorous), and miniature dendrobium*
orchid.

( dend-drob-bium)

more bracket fungus

1)fungus on tree stump 2)fungus on leaf pile 3)fungus on tree log

fungi: bracket fungus

ok, recently, I visited the Mac Ritchie reservoir and took the tree top walk.
I found out there are many types of fungus-mostly bracket fungus and mushrooms,
growing there. If you keep your eyes peeled, you might find some bracket fungus on tree stumps,
logs and leaf litter or leaf piles.
Well there is more pictures and I will post them on the next
post.

singapore

ps,

intro

OK, now as nature worlds blog is open, let me tell you about what I'm gonna post.
i have at least 5 categories where my posts will be grouped. they are:

• plants/trees
  
• insects
  
• fungi
• other small creatures
• nature collecting

OK for other small creatures, it means animals like spiders, snails,worms etc.
nature collecting means catching bugs, taking samples etc.
