I think I've finally nailed the name of the plant my mother got in Malaysia. It's color is brilliantly bright red/orange to the extend that it's almost neon O.o
Really pretty...
Pics soon :)

What happens when USD goes down?
another seed buffet~! :P
Summer Savory
Sage (Broad Leaf)
Basil Licorice
Basil Purple Ruffles
Basil Cinnamon
Basil Dwarf Bouquet Spicy
Fennel Sweet Florence
Oregano Greek
Parsley Italian plain leaf
Thyme French Summer
Flax
all for $11.50 usd! yummyyy....
updates on my other plants:
Re-potted my upright rosemary as it was root bound. Before the re-potting, some leaf tips turned brown and the lower leafs look a tint yellowish. Hopefully it'll recover.
Only 2 of my prostrate cuttings survived. The main plant itself has some leaves browning but overall still looking healthy.
Sweet basil doing ok... it really needs lots of sunlight and I have to blast it with a fluorescent lamp at night.
Mints doing EXCELLENTLY. As to be expected they're super hardy. I cut a thin stem off and stuck it directly into soil expecting it to die, but it actually rooted and grew well. Already got 4 spearmints rooted and gave 1 away. The common mints shriveled due to lack of water but bounced back after feeding it, yet another testament to its hardiness.
Thyme grew too bushy and the center part of the main plant became baldy, and stems near the surface of the soil were leggy without leaves. So I re-potted it also, root-dividing it into 2 pots. It was much harder than I thought! It seems there was 1 big solid stem probably from a previous cutting. Anyway hopefully they do well. Did some stem cuttings and stuck them directly into soil. We'll see if they root.
Sweet Marjoram sowing success rate == 0%. Complete failure. Is it just me or the seeds? lol
Dill seeds sprouted but as usual most fell as they were so thin and long. Only 1 left standing... >_<" I'll sow them in office next time so that there's no wind...
Todo:
air layer rosemary, adenium, lime and pomegranate
