Things that make me happy 讓我開心的東西

Got them on the way home from the hospital and brunch. Can you believe, these three guys (w/o vases) were only TWD 1.100 (USD 34)? Mom will tell you that's still expensive, but much less expensive than what you'd have to pay outside of Taiwan, I imagine. A small price to pay to light up a space and also my heart. Flowers really give life to a room and also give hope and happiness to the people that come into the room they're in.

醫院和brunch之後,在回家的路上買了蘭花,不包括花器,三株一千一。
說貴不貴,但一千多塊也不少錢,可是它們帶來的價值比大家想像的還要多,
它們可以讓一個空間有生命的感覺,可以讓人快樂,讓心情好起來

I have no idea what these orchids are called, so if you know, please leave a message here or email me!

Tree-like branching purple orchid.





Wasabi-green guy that is coming to work with me tomorrow.





Straight and pointy purple orchid.





Then Mom came by in the evening with fruit, soup and a turnip still in the soil in a pot, painted a glossy red. In these parts, turnips represent success, and people like to use them in flower arrangement sometimes. Thanks, Mom!

傍晚,媽媽帶來湯,水果和一顆"好彩頭"。
Thanks, Mom!



What to do over Lunar New Year? Sketch flowers? What an idea!
過年做什麼呢?
或許可以來素描一些花。
恩,不錯的主意。
