I can't help it, plants make me so very very happy. I love their colors, the way they grow, flowers, seeds, roots, fruits, leaves, I can go on an on. Taking care of them fills me with joy and sometimes I even cry when a beloved one dies.

The plants on my balcony have had a bad start this year, because of the cold bad weather. I hope they will be more lush soon, so I can share an update, which will including my beautiful blue balcony floor.

I think I got my love for plants from my dad. When he lived in a flat with my mother, before any kids were born, his house used to look like a jungle. A genuine jungle, with plants growing from floor to ceiling. I know I have to restrain myself from not buying or growing too much plants. My boy shivers lightly every time I tell him I've been to the garden centre and maybe found a new way to add yet another plant to the house. I'll just have to wait for the time we'll have a garden!

Here are two of my newest plants. The left one I grew from a cutting, same way as this one. I also made the hanging basket for the pot. The right one I bought.
