Green Love

I adopted Green Love three days ago
I was told to feed it once every three days
and this morning I did it for the first time.
I hope it'll survive

How to describe Durian?

No offense to the durian lovers, but maybe this can describe Durian fruit best.
Don't let these conversations scare you away though :)))

If the taste can overcome that description it must truly be a marvel!
I can just imagine the experience. :stinkeye:

I totally agree with WonderRandy - durian smells really bad, like few-day old socks but it taste really good!!! It's sort of like fermented tofu that Taiwanese is famous for.

Side note, I had durian yesterday! This thread made me crave for some. It was one that was slightly bitter but sweet at the same time! The type that I lurrrve!!

Smells hell, Tastes heavenly

It is how to describe Durian or Duren. The durian fruit on the picture is from my parents' home backyard. I used to like it very much when I was a kid, but the smell has never been my favourite. I got a bit dizzy with the smell when my brother, sis-in-law came and together with my Mom opened this durian to eat it. I tried a bit though and it tasted great. If I'm not wrong this durian is durian Montong -the sweetest and most delicious type of durian.

Western people usually can't stand the smell of durian, but don't dismiss it when you have the opportunity to try it. Just hold your breath for a while and eat it, soon you won't mind the smell as you taste its deliciousness. If you're not as lucky as I am to have durian tree that bears fruit in your backyard, you must visit Warso Farm because it's a heaven for durian lovers as they can pick any kinds of durian directly from the durian trees. I've never been there, though it's only 2 hours from my city. I think I will ask a friend to come with me there and challenge him to eat durian -hopefully he has never tried it before. Wonder if he can stand the smell :-D

After all, what else can you find anything that smell stinky hell but taste heavenly?
Only Durian, only durian!

The thousands dollar cabbage

This look like cabbage plant is also a family of Anthurium. I asked my Mom what is its name, but she doesn’t remember. My Mom doesn’t remember whether it's very pricey when she bought it. We were just recently aware when our new maid saw it in our garden, and she told my Mom that her ex-employer has it too and that plant is very expensive.A repairman who happened come to our house gasp as he saw that pot plant hidden behind our other plants like an abandoned plant, he even said that this plant is even more expensive than the Wave of Love.
After I googled I this is what is called Jenmanii Anthurium, the name is not as exotic as Wave of Love, but I like this plant more cause the leaves seem emerging directly from the ground. This plant like any other anthurium is priced also depending on how many leaves it has, more leaf means more expensive. Well, sometimes you are not aware what you really have until others tell you :) though I think the price is not as high as that, or some Indonesian people are too ridiculous.

Wave of Love

Do you have Wave of Love in your house?
This wave of love is a name of current popular pot plant in my country. I don't know its complete latin name, but it's belong to Anthurium family. People in my country call it Anthurium "Gelombang Cinta" which is translated into English as Wave of Love Anthurium. Very seductive name.
My Mom bought it long ago when the price was still not as high as these days. This Wave of Love never really gets special care from us, we just water it every morning.
We also never really think about our plants prices once we owned them if not some guests and one of our new maids mentioned about it. My brother's friend who saw our big Wave of Love pot plant immediately admired it and told my brother that it cost tens millions rupiah or thousands $US, and he asked for the seeds when they're available.

My Dad doesn't believe that the plant can cost thousands $US and I can't understand either why suddenly the price climbs rocketing like that I think it's ridiculous, but it's kind a cool to have a plant with that exotic name, Wave of Love.
