When I was younger in my twenties I had my own apartment. Typical apartment for the 1970's. Between my small kitchen and dining room I had orange beads. I loved them. Loved to walk through them. And in my dining area I had plants. Lots of plants. Most were hanging from the ceiling from a track. I took such good care of my plants. And they flourished. And they made me smile.
Fast forward to current day. I only have one plant. I had others but neglected them and when they wilted I really felt bad. But, I have had this one plant that is so beautiful. It gets great sun and just seems to do well. I water it every other day and just love to look at it. It is growing in an odd way. Kind of sideways. Maybe I don't have it in the best pot but honestly I don't want to move it and ruin anything. And it really needs more potting soil but I'm afraid to do anything other than what I have been doing because it is just so perfect.
Do you have houseplants? Do they make you smile?

I lost my enthusiasm for plants when I killed a beautiful bonsai tree. It was truly beautiful. I try to have flowers in the house (the cheap kind you get at the supermarket) somewhat regularly. I also try to landscape the house & recently planted perennials.1 year tulips and 1 year roses. When they bloom maybe i will share them with you. I printed the article you posted about how to dry flowers & plan to try it.
ReplyDeleteHi Ann,
ReplyDeleteI think that it is so nice that you have flowers in your house. I should do that as well. And then we can dry them. I love dried flowers.
It definitely is upsetting when a plant dies. You feel like you didn't do enough to keep it going. Maybe just buy one plant and try again. xoxo
