In search of Jade Vine

Last week me and my husband went to Penang ( an island at north of Malaysia) for a nice sunny beach vacation, and to celebrate my husband birthday. We take a very slow and relax drive to there, when we arrived, guess what, rain !! but we were o.k with it, we went straight out to the poolside after the rain stop, just to enjoy a bit of wind and the sound of wave (actually is a bit chill that day, we don't even dare to dive in the water). The rain grown into storm at night and continue for the whole weekend while we were there.

On the second day, we decided to head up to the Penang Hill to search for the plants called Jade Vine ( actually this is my main reason to go to Penang). It is a type of creeper vine that produce beautiful blue flower, the flower look like a bunch of tiny horns hang down from the plants. My parent used to grown them in the garden, it look like rain drop of blue flower all over the garden when the flowers blooms, is really romantic.. then one day my parent remove the plants.. I never seen that plants again until many years ago, I saw it in Penang Hill. I remember there is one lady selling the plants, I didn't buy it then because I haven't got my own place that time.

After an hour of search the way to the hill and 30 mins ride of cable car to the top of the hill, we finally arrived. Immediately, I went to search for the lady, but she wasn't there and sadly I heard from other vendors, she have passed away. Berfore we head back down the hill, we decided go to the cafe have a drink and admire the plants that grown there, but I 'm not ready to give up yet, so I went chatting up with the gardener there, and he agree to give me some cutting of the plants !!! it sitting on the container now, hopefully it will roots and grow..
