Gone to Pot

I got depressing job news this morning. So instead of going to the gym and buying groceries like I planned, I stayed home and potted the two plants we bought from Home Depot this weekend.

Calamondin Orange PlantMy sister found this plant for me at Home Depot. I thought the fruit was just decorative. But Bernie (my brother-in-law) told me you can make a drink out of it, like lemonade. And that very night we ate Phillipino at Crystal's and I drank a refreshing citrus-y drink made out of Calamondin Oranges. He ordered the same plant from a grower.

BegoniaI've always liked Begonias, ever since I saw the plants at Susan's (sister's friend) teacher's apartment. (What a mouthful!). I remember thinking those were the most beautiful flowers I had ever seen. We received a few cuttings, but try as we might, they didn't grow. And we bought more Begonias later and still couldn't grow it. Hopefully this time will be different. Maybe it's because we put them in full sunlight the other times, which Wikipedia claims Begonias don't like.
