Had all these stray little ferns and house plants, so felt the need to consolidate. Like the cramscaper I am, I made house plant planters - 7 of them! They are going to have to spend the rest of spring in the shed until they can come out for the summer. I honestly have no idea how these plants will react together, but time will tell, I guess. It’s an experiment like any other. The good news is that it will be a lot easier to ensure they don’t dry out too much. All those piddly little pots in not enough space drove me crazy. As you can probably tell, several of them have already lived through near death experiences. Some were a favored cat snack. A little cleanup was required, and a good soak. Fingers crossed the shed will keep them warm enough tonight. If so, I think they’ll be far happier out there. 😊 #houseplantplanters #plantaddiction #tropicalplants #myurbanjungleHmmm... I rather like this combo of #pyrrosialingua , #libertiagrandiflora , and #helleborusjadestar . Those dark green textures are totally doing it for me today! #happycombos #rockstarshadeplants #mybackyard #myurbanjungle #opticvervedesignThis is one of those plants I always look at with awe. It’s so beautiful, yet I’m a bit afraid of it. I’d be afraid it would escape and take over the world. Best admired from afar, methinks. #gloriousgrasses #pnwnoxiousweed #notmygarden #nimby #pampasgrass #cortaderiaselloanaCurrently the most prominent detail from one of my fern tables - a deeply purple Hepatica nobilis. #hepaticanobilis #ferntable #myurbanjungleFor anyone accusing me of having an addiction problem... well, they aren’t wrong. #helleboremadness #hellebores #boxofcrayons #allthecolors #lovethemall #springfever #winterflowers #winterbloomsHave been captivated by these marvelous, colorful mushroom at the Farmers Market - caringly grown by @mindfulmushrooms #stilllife anyone?
