A very-yellow apartment 🙂

This apartment stands out from the rest of the apartments in this area. It’s painted in cheery-yellow and can seen from afar.

Cactus, cacti. Anyone?

My husband and I went on a sight-seeing trip at the Chroy Changvar Peninsula. Along the way are a few garden shops selling all sorts of plants. Above is the cactus section. I do not know their names but I like the ones with pretty yellow flowers on the foreground and the coloured ones (red, yellow and orange mostly) on the middleground. The large spherical ones are just as lovely!
These various cacti are used for landscaping but will brighten anyone’s window sill or or garden (when bigger). They surely add texture and colour, shape and colour to the landscape.
