My gyrans is growing and I find it extremely exciting. I can't wait to see it dancing before me but that would take some time for the leaves to develop. So far, the seedlings of codariocalyx gyrans have just been growing for a short time; I have in total only 3 seedlings and only one has produced its true leaves. As such, I reckon it will still take some time before I can witness what gets me excited the most: dancing leaves. I really cannot wait!

Pictures of the plant will be posted in time to come, as soon as the plant establishes itself further with more leaves to boot.

Codariocalyx gyrans and perilla

Inadvertent as it was, I was back to seed shopping again even though I still have packs of unopened seeds ready to be sowed. It wasn't my intention to get any seeds at this moment but I was at Market place Rafflescity and there they were, seeds! Among the many packets, two particular plant seeds caught my attention: see title.

It was really serendipity that I found the gyrans plant I wanted to grow a long time after learning about it from desmodium gyrans. Imagine my excitement when I found the seeds on the rack; I can hardly contain my excitement now as I put these in words. It was really a good find and I hope I can get the plant to germinate and subsequently grow; I would absolutely love to do a study on it, with the limited resources and knowledge I have. Most certainly, it would be a joy and delight to watch it dance. I am filled with fascination already.

Besides the gyrans (codariocalyx gyrans), I found another herb plant that I have no knowledge of whatsoever. Perilla frutescens, I found after googling it, belongs to the mint family; that's basically all I know at this point. Nevertheless, I look forward to learning more about it as I have since sown the seeds. As I await its germination and growth, I will sow my gyrans seeds soon as I cannot wait to get both plants greeting me every morning as I walk down the corridor to school.
