Spider Plant (Chlorophytum)

I still don't know if I should plant this baby to a pot of soil. I know for sure though that it is growing wild. When Ellen (LR Admin Sec) gave this plant to me it was just 2 little stalks and it was in a little cup of water. For the first 2 weeks, I had it sets in that cup until it was too tall for it and thats when I transfer it to this base.
Few weeks ago, a couple white little flowers came out from that long stem and it lasted for at least 4 days.
I don't know if planting it to the soil is better.
all I know is that leaving this plant in that base is easy to take care of.

Asparagus Fern

This is my Asparagus Fern. I bought this plant when I met K.S, a good friend. To this date (06-27-08) it's been 1 year and 4 months. It was just a tiny little plant from Fred Meyer, I paid $4 for it...transplanted it and brought it to work...And here it is...Went crazy.... I got so many compliments on it and how I got this plant to survive that long and healthy. People says the average time they can keep this kind of plant is 2 weeks. I think I'm just so lucky that this plant love me..

Jasmine

After the Heart Walk in May 17, 2008, my friends and I went to Hawks Greenhouse to get our basket planted with flowers. I got there ahead of them so I went browsing around and I found this plant(Jasmine) in a 4inc pot. I bought it but it stayed in that little 4inc pot for more than a week before I had it transplanted. See that pink pot? in that same place, there was a plant in it before but it was dying so I decided to take it out and reused the pot.
Few days after I took this plant to my office it buds and there was so many of them. Since then, it keeps flowering and the flowers smells so good. I'm so happy that this plant did so good in my office. People think I have a green thumb but I don't think so. I think its the light (fluorescent), the miracle grow food and my love to this flower that keeps it grow well.
When I was in high school we had some Jasmine in my parents back yard, they just grew wild. We didn't had to take care of them, but they just kept flowering. So, having this plant in my office reminds me of the time when I was home for the weekend or for the summer.

The picture above was taken 2 days ago. The bud opened up this morning, its amazing, so amazing.
