总之，花儿们是很有趣的。经历过各种磨难之后，在这个秋冬之际，它们都纷纷抽芽冒叶，小日子过得都挺滋润的样子，让俺十分得意。
漂亮的窗台，到秋天在花市里发现了天竺葵。去年的那棵在夏天热死掉后，我一直很怀念。它叶子和花都清洁厚实美丽。这把它又回来了。
上面是吊兰，天竺葵
下面是红掌，凤梨，文竹。
They are:
Diao Lan, pelargonium
Anthurium andraeanum Lind, bromelia，Asparagus setaceus
天竺葵，会在整个冬天时不时地抽出花芽来
I can only get pink pelargonium here, the only one available in the market. Said it is imported from Holland.
I didn't see it for a whole year until Autumn comes. It can blossom in the whole winter here. And now I can understand, Germany, Holland are much colder. So it has problem to survive in summer. My last one died in the hot summer sun.
新长出的叶子
The new leaf, pretty.
珍珠吊兰，扔在盆里就长起来了，一个个都抬起头来
Peal Diao Lan with heads up
摇摆的芽，象张着手渴求生命，在阳光中跳舞
Swing in the sunshine
兔子花抽出的新花苞，低着头
兔子花是俺的死结，就象倒挂金钟是Georgia的死结。我们看到这两种都执著地要买下来，我们分别养死了三盆。Georgia没觉得兔子花有什么特别，我也觉得倒挂金钟很普通。但我们各自都觉得自己要买的花非常有魅力，然后使劲想把它养好 （我现在觉得倒挂金钟更有难度）
今年春天的那盆在奄奄一息之后终于缓过劲来了，可惜那时炎热的夏季来临，它要休眠了。我按网上说的，开始终断浇水，放到阴凉处让它休眠。但秋天了，它怎么也没要活过来的意思
花市上的兔子花都又大又漂亮又贵。我终于努力砍价买了这盆小的，12元，Georgia鼓励我要让它升值，争取把它养成30元的那种规格，而不要秃成5块那种没人要的
Cyclamen bud, a little shy.
I have problem to make cyclamen live well in my place, so I keep on buying it. I've got some ideas after failures. Hope this time it will be fine. :)
兔子花的花叶子，两颗心
Leaves of cyclamen, two hearts embeded
茉莉，拿回来呼呼就死了半盆
但是，多么好啊，现在枯枝上冒新芽，玉器一样的精致
Jesmine bud, jade like in sunshine
Half of the plant died, but now new buds comes out. :)
吊兰的第一个长枝
The first long stem of my Diao Lan
聪明的凤梨，三角形的玻璃瓶，它在每个角上长出一个新芽
Smart bromelia, I put it in a trangle bottle, now each angle grow out a new bud. They just know where has space.
凤梨上很好的水培植物，因为是麻质根，泡在水里不易腐烂，所以养起来很省力
但好玩的是，凤梨新长出的根就是白的，长细绒，不再是干巴巴的麻状，好像它知道这样在水里比较好一样
Bromelia is good for water planting, for its root is linen like and wont roten. So it doesn't need much care. But interesting, the new root change its appearance, not the dry brown linen, instead a white one with a lot of soft fur.
红掌的新芽，红掌的芽总是从一个鞘一样的东西里长出来
New leaf of anthurium comes out from a red sheath
这个鞘起先附在叶子上，不易察觉，成熟了，就分开来
The sheath grows closely to the bottom of the leaf unnoticable, when ready, it stray off the leaf and comes into a separate shoot.
红掌的根本来是红白的，养在玻璃杯里，长出叶绿素来
太阳一晒，根们使劲光合，吐出很多气泡来，一会儿，水面上就一层。氧？；）
Anthurium in bottle will grow green roots that can respiration in sun
After a few minutes sunshine, each root generate air bubbles, oxygen? ;)
日本菊，叶子镶银边，非常漂亮。花苞比开花好看，花市里看到开的，黄黄的秃秃的花
Japanese chrysanthemem (ah~ so hard to spell)
Green leaves with silver edge. Buds are more beautiful than flowers in full. Sure I will say so. :)
夏天文竹死了一半，现如今冒出新芽，枯枝已是过去
Overcome the tragedy summer dying, asparagus grows out a tiny new shoot, similar way as bamboo.
That's why we called it 'literature (for it is always put on study desk)/graceful bamboo', wen zhu.
图片在杂七杂八
-----------------------
Your windows flowers look familiar to me: chlorophytum (diao lan), philodendron (?) and asparagus I have at home; pelargonium, cyclamen and bromelia also are very popular in Germany. :)
The one after pelargonium (with little thick leaves) looks similar to a very poisonous (!) plant I know from botanical garden: Senecio rowleyanus (String of Pearls).
The second last I don't know. The picture is beautiful, with the sun shining on the silvery hair.

不错嘛，看来你还是养活了不少植物的嘛，上次给你的花花已经牺牲了多少了？
评论人：shellgirl 评论日期：2004-11-22 18:53
蛮盎然的么。估计你是黄叶子枯枝子就不拍了。
红盆里种的什么？
评论人：linz 评论日期：2004-11-24 16:58
嘿嘿，这次不错，你给的那些花都还活着哪。果然都很好养。仙人球给我搬到办公室吸辐射去了，对了，还在花市捡了一个很小很小的红球种在了旁边。大绿球上面正发了一个小球。珍珠吊兰，昙花都长得挺好。就那个有红边的变色龙，情况不怎么样，下面的叶子都不行了，上面还好。反正都还没牺牲,我现在很有长进。；）
红盆的就是珍珠吊兰，网上查了下，叫‘翡翠珠’，‘绿之铃’，更煽情的叫法是‘情人的眼淚’
Yes, it is Senecio rowleyanus, called 'Peal Diao Lan'. Shellgirl gave me some strings. It is very easy to plant, just put the string over the soil and they get alive.
I check on net. It has a lot of beautiful names:
emerald balls
green bells
and one more: Tears of lover
It is a very popular plant to decorate home. I see it is popular both in mainland and Tai Wan. Said it is origined from South-west Africa.
It will look like this:
But no Chinese page said it is poisonous. What kind of poison it is?
Shellgirl told me it can be used as herb (to cure what, I can't remember exactly). Quite some neighbours ask her mother for this. And it is somehow problematic. For her aunt is not in a good condition after some dose of this 'green pearls' and quit it.
The green leaves with fur is called Japanese Chrysanthemem, according to the flower seller. The one I bought when sebastian visited the flower market with us. :)
Actually it is not in a good condition, I still didn't find out the way to make it happy. But the photo of a good branch is still very nice. The leaves are more beautiful than the flowers (well, it never blossoms a single flower successfully in my place :-| ).
Em... I have trouble to match all the English names. pelargonium, cyclamen and bromelia are all ok.
I will add some words to the pictures... currently I can't logon, the site seems under maintainence again, they add a new server....

I have found some informations about Senecio rowleyanus:
Nearly all plants of the genus 'Senecio’contain pyrrolizidine alkaloids (also called 'Senecio alkaloids'), a group of ester alkaloids. They accumulate in the liver where they disintegrate into amino alcohols and necic acids. These acids are hepatotoxic and cause liver cirrhosis and cancer.
This fact is almost unknown although it was discovered in 1920 and examined from 1950 – 1980.
[These poisons accumulate in the liver and transform into substances causing serious liver damages/diseases (also cancer). --Denise said this part is redundant with previous paragraph and wants to delete. But actually I understand this part better. :) Last paragraph is quite complicated. So I still keep it here. Sometimes repitition helps understand.]
If you eat a bit of it once nothing will happen. But if you continue eating a bit of it from time to time you pay it with your live. People died after drinking herbal teas containing plants of the genus Senecio. The leaves of Senecio rowleyanus seem to taste not so bad or even good. It happens that children get a taste for these 'peas on strings’. So please be careful if children are around. And I really wouldn't recommend it as herb.

Oh yes, you're right, it is much better to understand. Thank you for your comment :)
(I wrote this sentence first and then found additional informations in my biochemistry book)

with hands held in front and bowing..
Pelargonium is one sort of plant in Geranium?
评论人：linz 评论日期：2004-11-30 11:13
:)) Thanks for showing my window garden here. I made it about 9 years ago. The plants changed from time to time.
Pelargonium is very closely related to Geranium. Actually in Germany Pelargonium is called 'Geranie' (Geranium). You can see them very often growing on windowsills or balconies. The plant family is called 'Geraniaceae'.

Thank you Denise, so both pelargonium and geranium belong to Geraniaceae.
When I see the photo, i call the flower geranium, but LK show me it's pelargonium, so I wondered.
