苦尾菜 bitter romaine

Visit mother again. This time round in saw some flowering bitter romaine, 苦尾菜in her mini garden patch. Beautiful flowers with tiny black seeds. Father said if I want to keep the seeds, use a plastic bag to enclose the ripened seeds before pinching the stalk otherwise the tiny light seeds will be dispersed while they were shaken. What a wise advice. Yes, I wanna bring home to Singapore and plant it in the  garden.

Today was a good day at Singapore Garden Festival! It was $12 per ticket, but we got it free from my dad's school!  These were the cool things that they sold at the Marketplace! There was lots of food also at another section! We then saw the largest edibles!  We also visited different themed gardens like the garden of Rosacea, one tropical one, and one coffee one.
