The sun is out again - after a few weeks of rain. Before that it had been consistently hot, sunny and dry for something like 7 weeks, so we certainly deserved to be poured on, but nevertheless it lifts my spirits to have warm air and light pouring into my room instead.
I'm taking the opportunity to introduce my green friends in the window today. The climber sprawling across the top has been with us for three years now and seems happy to not explore any further. The wee succulent in the left corner was a birthday present for D's brother two or three years ago but he never made it as we liked him too much having kept him for a week before the event. The tree next to him is an olive variety I got a month or so ago. I love trees and climbers, and succulents as of late (the wee birthday one has been in D's room until I nicked him this year).
This other succulent I found yesterday. I've spotted this plant in quite a few blogs lately so I expect it's popular. It certainly has an amazing colour.
The aloe vera was smuggled by me into Britain three years ago when I moved country from Sweden. Its mother is thriving just the same in my old room in my parents' place (they've got a lust for life for sure!) and it's time for a new pot very soon.
Have a nice Thursday!
I can already imagine your personality from looking at your photos...reading your words...and i would guess you are...
soft-hearted....fresh!....kind....compassionate...alive!....enthusiastic...but in a soft and quiet way...? xx
