Mo!

I recently acquired some new plants, one of them being a Marimo ball which I named Mo! I is an algae ball native to Japan, Iceland, and Estonia. They require very little care and like to live in cold water. They can even be refrigerated on hot days! Here is a picture of Mo in his jar, as well as a picture of the lid that I decorated for him. In the first picture, he is pearling (which is what they call it when he forms little oxygen bubbles during photosynthesis... the bubbles stick to him and take on the appearance of little pearls).

The other plants that I bought are all names after characters from Buffy (go figure).

This is Tara. She is a Hawaiian Volcano Plant. Recently she had been dropping leaves, but after moving her to a sunnier location, she seems to be happy.
















This is Willow. She is a Money Tree.


















This is Giles. He is a Palm.


















This is Angel. He is an Asparagus Fern.



















This is Buffy. She is an African Violet.












I have no idea how and where I am going to put all of these plants in my dorm room when I go back to school, but I will find a way. :)
