Green

Ask my grandchildren what Nana's favorite color is and they will always remember,

GREEN.

This is the year that I realized that maybe I could try to grow GREEN inside. I'm actually more of an outside plant person and not much of a 'nurturer' with those. If they aren't pretty tough, they simply don't make it. I knew I better read up on these 'houseplants'.

It started back in December with this 'fiddle leaf' fig. Ugliest plant ever, I thought. Then I fell in love with it.

Super proud of this guy's new growth (FINALLY!)

Earlier this month, my daughter in law gave me this orchid and I love it's classy lines. 

This 'closet plant' was given to me by a friend when my mom passed away last summer. It sits in a dark corner in my family room and is doing so well!

Then, my love affair with succulents started this spring. Oh my. Love these hardy little fellows.

Now, these are just cut flowers from HEB, but they are some of my mom's favorites and I love having them to remind me how often she had fresh flowers 'just because'. I love that my Dad still has fresh flowers on the kitchen table every week...not just because I've come in to visit.

My cute little 'ugly' fiddle leaf fig back in the corner. This guy has been hard for me to figure out. I think I seriously underwatered him initially. Hopeful that he will grow, grow, grow!

Sweet little succulents. I used them for 'favors for a baby shower recently. 

My 'money tree'. This guy has REALLY  taken off. Super easy. Not so picky about water requirements.

I never realized how much a large green plant INSIDE would be so pleasing to me. It just feels 'fresher'. I enjoy watching them grow inch by inch. Also, succulents would not have appealed to me a few years ago, and now I think they are amazing!
