That first one does look like an umbrella, doesn't it? lol. Soo much greenery!

Van said...

They're all beautiful! I love the mix of textures in the last picture, and the very tidy succulent arrangement in the fish bowl!

angie said...

i'm not a plants person at all, but maybe someday i might take up a bonsai tree...

whitney said...

@ Nat Isn't it gorgeous. I have 4 rolls from the Yashica still waiting to be developed. I hope they turn out nice.

@ Hannah The umbrella tree! The gardeners were snipping our garden at work and I grabbed some off the ground.

@ sen.siˈʝes Yeah! My greenhome. I hope it stays green. Some of them came yellow so crossing my green fingers!

@ Li + Belle :D

@ Andrea Thanks! I hope they all stay green.

@ Cassie We have a massive umbrella tree in the garden at work. They're great aren't they?!

You've caught Jungalow fever off Justina! And you got it badddd because this looks brill!

SJ said...

oooo very jealous! i definitely need some more plants in my house but as winter approaches it's getting harder to keep them all happy!

OLD BRAND NEW said...

@ Van Thanks!

@ Angie Try succulents. It takes a real black thumb to kill them. They're so pretty and low maintenance.

@ Whitney Yeah! I love plants in unexpected places, just like my dear gal pal from Compai! Although, the umbrella trees aren't looking too hot right now. They're looking all debby downer. :(

@ Will Yes! I jugalow bug! That Justina!

@ SJ Succulents are happy all year round. Try it out. They've worked out for me so far.

Now I have the bloody Rihanna song stuck in my head! I hope you are having a great week! I found a huge persian rug at the local Goodwill for 25 bucks! I dont know why rugs keep finding me!

Jacqueline said...

That is awesome! I wish I didn't have such a black thumb... plants never seem to survive around me. But they make for such pretty pictures!

maria said...

OLD BRAND NEW said...

There were major issues with BLOGGER and I loss a few comments along the way but no worries. I got your emails.


@ VanThank you!

@ Angie Bonsais are pretty and try succulents. They're super low maintenance and beautiful!

@ Whitney Umbrella, ella, ella! haha. couldn't help it. Thank you!

@ Allan I do too! And totally jealous of your rug. I need one desperately.

@ Jacqueline I don't have the greenest thumb so I stick with succulents. Try them out!

@ Maria Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a great weekend!
