cat's whiskers
Posted by tyan (Singapore, Singapore) on 23 November 2007 in Plant & Nature.
According to my mom,this plant is called 猫须草，which literally means cat's whiskers,though i am not sure about its real name.Anyone?:)
Anyway,this cat's whiskers look really pretty,and they do resemble cat's whiskers,and what i really like about them is that their tips are actually purple.
My mom has a lot of different species of plants in her front porch,cat's whiskers being one of them. My hub says a wild boar could be hiding among the bushes and shrubs,LOL,because my mom likes her garden 'wild' and unkempt.
