The return of the plantita

The beauty of living in the province is that you have a larger pool of plants and vendors to choose from. Plants are cheaper, too.

So yesterday we went to the other town south of where we were, which isn’t that far, about 10 mins from our house (yep, no traffic jams). My sister wanted to buy all bougainvillea because they’re maintenance-free (almost). I went for roses, edible herbs for my window sills, yellow bell, and a flowering plant I couldn’t name.

We had to make two trips because my car could only carry half of what we wanted to buy.

These are the more mature bougainvilleas that cost PHP 1000 and above. Photo by CallMeCreation.com

I fixed (transferred to my staircase, pathways) my purchases under the rain. When we were children, we used to play under the rain. This is my adult version now. 😂

I will add soil and transfer the plants when it stops raining. Photo by CallMeCreation.com
Yellow bell that I will wrap around the railings when the branches grow long. It’s a creeping plant. Photo by CallMeCreation.com

This plantita then went to the weekend market this morning for food and my shampoo bar and conditioner…

Went to show my cousin where to buy fresh milk and white cheese (similar to a fresh mozarella). Shelf life is only 2-3 hrs so she needed to leave ASAP for QC so these won’t go bad.
