I miss my garden

Floristic course is at an end. Our last lab is the "fern lab" and here is my favorite fern:

The back (Pteridaceae members have false indusia):


Also went to Ernesto's talk on South Africa plants this week and he had some really awesome photos. Here's one of them, with an endangered flower:


My jasmine is dying. Or maybe I should say "dead" since the chances of it recovering at this stage is statistically insignificant. I over-watered the week before, when the temperature dropped suddenly, and the soil didn't have a chance to dry, ever. This week's not hot enough for it to drain. I kept meaning to stick outside in the sun for a very long time, which would've helped but I kept on forgetting, so now the water-logged soil has killed the roots that I've painstakingly germinated and I have lost my jasmine.
Plant fail.
