Do you have a few plants that are Drama Queens? or Divas? I have a few of those and I am going to list the top three today. Maybe when I write this all out
Maybe it’s because, in truth, they’re completely unnecessary but so utterly gratifying when trimmed with precision. Maybe it’s because they transport us to the fantasies of our childhood, both romantic and slightly eerie (we’ve all seen how things end for Jack Nicholson in The Shining), but whatever the reason, we can’t stop staring at topiaries, so…
This is a 12" x 18" poster of a series of watercolor lichens and mosses. With thousands of species of both moss and lichen in the world, I have limited my illustrations here to 12 common genera of each. I have drawn a particular species for each of these 12 for illustration purposes, but the genus of each illustration can usually be found on more than one continent and even in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. This poster has been professionally printed onto lovely matte 100 lb card stock and is initialed and dated on the reverse. ★ Frame not included ★ The generous top and bottom margins are perfect for framing using a wooden poster hanger (which also makes it very easy to change out posters every now and then). This listing does NOT include the wooden, magnetic poster hanger used in the photo. Your poster will be carefully packaged in a kraft tube for mailing. ★ Frame not included ★ I do my best to portray colors accurately, however different monitors (and cameras) will vary in how they display colors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER AND GET 10% OFF: https://twigandmoth.myflodesk.com/newsletter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ***Purchase does not transfer copyright.

The Original Bohemian Homes Tumblr.......Chilled out, lazy, Eclectic and Bohemian Homes
Now those are some happy hanging house plants aren't they? I have never really had the knack with hanging house plants but about 2 months ago (on the day I found out I got my new job) I brought myself
I'm not pretending to be an expert on terrariums but I have learned some interesting tips on making terrariums since I attempted a few for my entry at the January Magazine Copy Cat Challenge. I thought you might like to make a terrarium too as a way to bring the outside in during the winter months. This is the photo that I originally tried to copy in the January issue of Better Homes and Gardens. The expert inviewed for this article is Tovah Martin. She shared good ideas for making terrariums. I couldn't find the original article online but here is a link in which she shares good plants to put in terrariums. Another place for good basic instructions is the E-How Terrarium Video by Willi Galloway. Here are my favorite tips I gleaned from those sources: Start with a clean, clear glass container that is big enough to get your hand down inside of. Put a layer of pebbles in the bottom of your container for drainage. Put a 1/2 inch layer of horticultural charcoal on top of the pebbles to keep the moist soil smelling "sweet". Add 2-3 inches of light potting soil such as African violet mix. Try not to get soil on the sides of the containers. Tamp it down to remove air pockets. Dwarf plants that like low light and high humidity are best for terriariums. Select plants that have the same growing requirements to go in the same container. I was able to find tiny pots of plants at a local nursery. (Disregard the big tattered fern in the background...it is staying outside.) The orchid in the photo above was purchased to try to mimick the picture in the magazine. Make a planting pocket in the soil with your finger. Remove the plant from its pot. Remove some of the soil from around the roots to make is easier to plant. Set the plant in and firm the soil around it being sure to cover the roots. After the plant is in the container, you might break a leaf or stem if you have to put your hand down inside. Here are some "tools" to help to garden from above. A funnel made from paper and tape is helpful to get more soil down near the base of the plants without getting the soil on the sides of the container or the tops of the leaves. A paintbrush is useful for getting any soil off of the leaves and the sides of the container. Use a cork on a bamboo skewer to tamp down soil. After planting, use a watering can with a long spout to spot water each plant. Tovah says that misters make more a mess than they moisten the soil. Water an open terrarium when the soil looks dry... about every 7-10 days. A closed terrarium can usually go for two weeks between waterings. If too much condensation forms, give terrarium less light or open the top a little for a few hours. The NUMBER ONE reason that terrariums fail is OVERWATERING. The plants thrive in a terrarium with almost no help from outside their little world. That's why they are great for folks that don't have a lot of time to care for house plants. You can add decorative elements to your terrarium such as pebbles or stones... ...mosses... ...and decorative objects. Succulent terrariums only need watering every two weeks so they are good for very busy people. Here are some tips for succulent terrariums: Be sure to use a container that has a wide opening to prevent accumulation of moisture. Put two inches of gravel in the bottom for drainage. Use fast draining soil to plant succulents in then add a layer of sand. Give 5-6 hours of sunlight a day. Water every two weeks. Water should drain to bottom of container and there should not be more than an inch of water in the gravel. So what started as a copy cat challenge project... ...evolved into even more terrariums for my Winter garden. My favorite new one is the planting under the cloche. Its base is a terra cotta saucer with soil, plants, mosses and stones added to fit within the confines of the glass dome. I enjoyed adding pebbles and mosses to the terrariums to give them a little more color and interest.

I am highly influenced by the convergence of beautiful photography with fantastically different plants. Such was the case when I stumbled across a post at Leila’s about some houseplants that she is testing out. This image of Sophora prostrata made me gasp.

Hello dear friends! I can not believe that today is the first day of autumn already!! Well, over here it is autumn and officially my favourite season... It is a balmy beautiful evening in Cape Town and a cascading starry sky hangs above us! Totally gorgeous. As I was on my way home from a service for the World Wide Day of Prayer for Women I was wondering what I am going to blog about and then I checked into my blog and my eye fell on this beautiful conservatory...and voila! I was on a mission.... The conservatory above is my favourite of all time! It is also from one of my favourite houses ever... Henk and Monika Smith's amazing home, of which I can never get enough! So, then I found a few more that grabbed my fancy... This image is quite amazing... you can quickly bend down and retrieve your jaw from the ground! It's like a dream, isn't it? I could not find the correct photo credit and it just said Winter Palace . Does anyone know? Anyway, I could do a great deal of daydream believing in there!!! It's like a movie set for a romantic scene and ..well...let your imagination go... a proposal perhaps? These beauties are at Schonbrunn Palace Vienna. Love the shape and can you just imagine the treasures they hold? Everything we need is here... beautiful shapes, a chandy, an elegant bench, a water feature and one of my favourite tree ferns...perfect! Is it just me or does a conservatory hold a sense of mystique for you as well? Just the place to while away a lazy Sunday.... The architectural detail on conservatories are always beguling. I think its time to take a look at some daybeds for another post. I bet you all have a favourite lurking in your wish list closet! Enchanting... On Monday I will introduce another wonderful blog in my Blog it Forward Series and on Tuesday is our monthly international Bloggers post for "By Invitation Only" and this time I will be taking you on a tour of my wonderful city of Cape Town! Have a fab Friday Live well Veronica xxx Images ~ Pinteres and House and Leisure
