My grandparents' home in Kuala Lumpur


I've just got home from two weeks spent in Malaysia catching up with my grandparents and family in Kuala Lumpur, 'backpacking' to Singapore and relaxing by the sea in Penang. I wanted to document their house and the wonders it contains, with beautiful midcentury furniture in abundance and more tropical plants and succulents than you can count. Whilst we were there we celebrated by Ah Mah's (grandma) 88th birthday, a particularly lucky one due to the superstition in Chinese culture for the number eight. My Ah Kong (grandpa) turned 90 in January.

Coleocephalocereus fluminensis


The latest addition to my budding plant collection...


(Ignore the rather dead one in the corner, it didn't manage to survive the harsh winter alone in London...)
