Some house plants and an attempt at super macro

Some not-so-random pictures of plants around the house:

Ever since the mother retired, the oldies have developed green fingers. Or at least they THINK they’ve developed green fingers since their new plant acquisitions have an uncanny knack of dying on us. There was a time when we’d visit the plants section of Sunday Market every weekend to get new stuff for the garden. All well and good except the oldies seem to have a knack for choosing the hottest and sunniest Sundays to go all the time. -_- Ehhh, before you think I’m some white chick freak, let me clarify that I don’t have a thing against the sun. I only have a thing against humidity and sweat. In fact, I love being brown (as in skin colour) and can’t stand this Asian obsession with being white. To me, white looks like you’re ill or anaemic or something or other. Besides, don’t you think being tan is a symbol that you’ve actually had time to go on a holiday whereas being all pek-pek means being stuck behind your desk for far too long? But I digress, this is a post about house plants afterall. Oh, and about my attempt at super macro too.

Wombok’s posts on super macro and the how-to got me really intrigued on the subject. I just had to try it out for myself to see if it really does work. Yeah, us loyars are super skeptics and cynics. So this is a macro shot of my cross and chain:

And this is the super macro shot of the stone:

Whaddaya know, it really does work afterall!
