i have a love for plants and flowers. it started when i worked in a flower shop for a couple of years. its hard when limited to an apartment to cultivate this love though. so im slowly filling it with potted plants.

these are my latest :

the second is a succulent. i love succulents. they're so hardy and will withstand some neglect, including lack of water and sunlight. these are good traits.

yesterday and today were busy days. activties included changing bedroom layout and cleaning simultaneously, a haircut, a shift at work, decluttering, a visit to b&q for paint, plants and a windowsill planter box, planting out the plants and painting an old 'fira' ikea drawer set.

living in an apartment is limiting in terms of the plants i can grow. i've often kept outdoor plants indoors, which has led to inevitable death... so with my new window box full of petunias, i plan to cable-tie it to the ledge of my kitchen window. i think my next plant project will be a terranium...

...complete with dinosaurs !
