Issue when you buy registration online

One reader "Alice" alerted me regarding the purchasing of registration data online, credit cards issue in Singapore were rejected and she was unable to buy data anymore. Let me post her comment below, please contribute your suggestion if you guys have any idea, many thanks first.

"Very good effort. Unfortunately this is no longer valid as the website has just migrated to : https://yamahamusicdata.jp. It is now compulsory to sign up as a member. Another point to note is that the website does not accept non-Japanese issued credit cards. At least all my Singapore credit cards were rejected and this issue is confirmed when I wrote to them. One way I got around it is to purchase pre-paid cards (web money). Can be quite tedious as you need to create an account on http://webmoney.com and create a virtual wallet to "deposit" your money. Also as we don't live in Jaoan, we would need to buy the pre-paid cards from third party vendor and this add up to the cost. Just for your info unless someone can share a less painful and expensive experience. Alice Ng."

This is "Aglaonema pink anyamanee", credit must give to the Thailand's farm, they had managed to create many stunning Aglaonema hybrid.

This is another hybrid "Aglaonema white anyamanee"

Shade loving plant, avoid direct sunlight and prefer warm and humid environment, bring it indoor during the year end raining session in our local climate or your plant suffer.

"Epiphyllum pumilum" My new collection

Don't intend to talk about work today, I would like to share a few pictures of my blooming Keng Hwa instead. This is not the usual Keng Hwa "Epiphyllum oxypetalum" (Queen of the night), mine is the less common "Epiphyllum pumilum", the size of the flower is only a third of the former and hence the common name Princess of the night.

Hope this plant will keep its size compact.

There were 8 bulbs altogether and bloomed during the last few nights. Very gorgeous and lightly fragrance and patience is needed to witness the flower bloom.
