Begonias...more like BIGonias! Their conch-like leaves are almost as big as my hand! I think this may be the only shell 🐚 I might see this summer haha!

Lettuce planting today! A week ago, .atty and I did a little experiment. We put one pot of planted lettuce seeds under a grow light and one under the natural light. We discovered that the lettuce under the grow light thrived better compared to the one under the natural light (see third picture). Since the one under natural light did not have a roof over its head, the heavy rainfall also contributed to its slightly stunted growth.

We didn't get to finish our hydroponic method today, but I'm looking forward to it next week! 🌱

We bought pots a while ago and while waiting, I read about this plant called Damong Maria, also know as motherwort or maidenwort in the North America. Originating from the Philippines, this plant was apparently used in the ancient times to treat certain illnesses like hemorrhage and gastrointestinal bleeding. They used to boil the leaves with water and drink it to heal certain illnesses. Sometimes, boiled leaves can also be used to treat wounds and burns.

Although, I doubt this is still used to treat illnesses nowadays, I can't believe I just learned about this plant today! Still, it is good to know that in case we are out in the wilderness, we can rely on Doc Maria to heal certain ailments.

This weird-looking plant is called the devil's backbone. At first, I thought it was edible as it's leaves resemble the shape of the cheese chips, Clover. After reading about this plant, I learned that it is DEFINITELY not edible. In fact, its milk-like sap is poisonous for some humans. I could not be more wrong.

Lesson from this plant: not all plants that look like food is food. Haha!

𝑹𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 🌴

Commonly seen in Brazil and Argetina, Philodendron Bipennifolium or "𝑯𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅" 🐴 grows mostly on tropical countries. It thrives on hot steamy weather and likes attaching itself to trees.

The horsehead likes it hot and steamy 😜. This plant is like a beautiful island girl that we see in movies.

Honestly, yellow and green are two of my least favorite colors. I believe they're too bright and it hurts my eyes. They also remind me of the highlighters I use for reviewing.

But when it comes to plants, the greener and yellower, the better!

Observing new leaves of yellow and light green grow into darker green gives me a weird sense of pride.

No other plant can pull of these bright yellow and green colors aside from our Variegated Banana! STILL AVAILABLE BY THE WAY! Go get them!

Monsters in the jungle..more like Monsteras in the jungle.

CHAMPIONS 🏆

UP Men's Basketball Team (.mbt ) reclaims championship after 36 years!

For every UAAP basketball game, University Hotel hosts a watch party. Last night, we went to dinner at The Patio and chatted with the waiter. He said that almost a hundred customers go there to drink beer, order their infamous Manong's Platter (kwek-kwek, fishball, kikiam, and squid balls), and watch UP's game. I also saw two of our rainforest anthuriums that my dad donated to the hotel. It's like having a little piece of our home in the hotel.

I'm quite sure that University Hotel was full of screams and cheers a while ago because after 36 years, we reclaimed our crown, and we couldn't be any more proud.

I have been rewatching the previous Jurassic Park movies for the past few days and this particular plant reminded me of a specific dinosaur. Both have a long orange neck, but one has a larger snout (or leaf!). Brachiosaurus or Philodendron Billietiae? Who won the long-necked contest?
