Fun with Plants


So that love of obsessive collections, that extends to plants, too.  Not really all plants; I am pretty shallow and judgmental in my affections.  Mainly I am attracted to succulents and just the unusual specimens.  The David Bowie of plants?  I tend to be drawn towards the ones that are kind of awkward and a bit plump (alright, I guess not the David Bowie of plants).  I mostly have Adeniums and Lithops, but there are a few others.

Besides my admiration for the plants themselves, I also love the process of planting them.  Each pot is its own mini composition.




They are a bit like awkward bonsai, I guess.


A great blog on plants, indoor propagation, and artistic plantings:

Be the popular one with all the fun succulent facts!!  Seriously, I have this book and I love it.
