Changing location, better colour for chryothemis pulchella

Kakdah had been placing this potted plant under her orchid house ever since the orchid house was ready early of the year. Then a few months later she decided to to embark on garden facelift, swapping plants from left to right, taking out some and put them under brighter light, and some placed under shadier place. Flowers somehow need light to show off their exotic outfit. And these flowers really bloom!






Thus the issue of nature versus nurture comes into play, applicable to development of child, career development and flowers too.

    ~ Yes the flower is sweet, with yellow and orange.
    ~ The right spot is a compromise. A vintage spot for viewing may not necessarily be the spot the plant will grow best.
