This is what happen when you bought too much fresh turmeric for cooking. In the end all the fresh rhizomes start to grow on their own and I have no choice but to plant them in pots. At the moment I have like 3 pots of turmeric plants. This...

I think it is called Japanese Lily – Lilium speciosum based on what I read from Reader’s Digest-The Complete Guide To Houseplants book. But I’m not sure whether this is what species because the picture in the book is different that the one that I have in my garden....

If you ever wonder how galangal (lengkuas)plant looks like, check out the picture below. The picture was taken right before it started to rain last week. I have to dig out the rhizome because I need it to cook singgang. If you want to learn what singgang is all...
