Gardening

So it's been a while since I last posted on my blog.
I am finding less and less things to talk about as the day goes by seeing as how I'm practically doing nothing.
As I was doing my house chores today, I realized this is how stay at home mom would feel.
I did the laundry today, then went outside to hang them because the weather was so great!
As I finished hanging them all, I realized I noticed a pot of tree that my mom loves tilted against the deck fence because it's been knocked by the wind.
I quickly grab it upright and notice it's got bad leaves everywhere.
I quickly go back inside and grab a scissor and started trimming away.
Then I moved another pot that's the same tree but much bigger beside it so it can get some sunlight.
I proceeded to watering them and felt this accomplishment like I had just fed my children lunch...

Anyhow, there are a lot of plants that grow in my backyard.
Among these, there is this particular flower that caught to my attention.
I have no idea what it is called but it sort of looks like a periwinkle plant but this is extremely tiny! (8~1cm diameter at most per flower).
A periwinkle plant is known to carry vinpocetine, a potent molecule to increase blood flow to the brain.
It enhances cognitive function and it is probably one of the most powerful memory enhancing drug up to date (that isn't like amphetamine crazy drugs).
Once I find out what this plant's identity really is, I might just brew up some tea to drink for study times ;)
