Welcome to My Site

If this is your first visit, welcome! This site is devoted to my life experiences as a Filipino-American who immigrated from the Philippines to the United States in 1960. I came to the US as a graduate student when I was 26 years old. I am now in my mid-80's and thanks God for his blessings, I have four successful and professional children and six grandchildren here in the US. My wife and I had been enjoying the snow bird lifestyle between US and Philippines after my retirement from USFDA in 2002. Macrine(RIP),Me and my oldest son are the Intellectual migrants. Were were born in the Philippines, came to the US in 1960 and later became US citizens in 1972. Some of the photos and videos in this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on infringing on your copyrights. Cheers!

My Youngest Sister Collection of Ornamental and Foliage Plants in the Philippines


A part of My Sister's Collection on the Front and Side Yard of her Residence

One of the best and healthful hobbies is container gardening. My youngest sister in the Philippines started her container plants collection(foliage plants) last year. 

In her collections are several varieties of philodendrons, coleus, ferns, orchids, caladiums, euphorbias, begonias and other rare and popular foliage plants of the Philippines.   

Here are some photographs of her collection of plants. In the Philippines, they are grown outside but here in the US they are grown as house plants ( inside) or in the Greenhouse except in Southern Florida and maybe San Diego, CA which has tropical climate similar to the Philippines. Enjoy these photos.   


 




 


 




Meanwhile here are two photos of my geranium growing outside in my front yard and my orchids in the living room of my residence here in Northern California
