URBAN JUNGLE BLOGGERS 25 > PLANTY WISHES 2016

I love the pink spikes of this mammillaria, a few orchid leaves pop from its back
an exemplar from dracena is on the right.

I like this time of the year. It's full of contrasting feelings: looking forward to quality time with family and friends, getting excited about new things to come and also thinking back to the year that has gone and what it did bring.
I also love winter, the idea of snow covering soon the hills around house, the fireplace keeping us warm and many mini-breaks with hot tea and sweets. Snowflakes are pretty much a symbol for all this, to me. Their shape is more than wonderful too. That's why this year I decided to go for it, and decorate my home plenty of snowflakes.

I fixed to the wall (used blue tag, not damaging the surfaces) felt showflakes from a local garden center, and snow flakes I made with beads. Read more here about this diy.
Elsewhere in the house I used paper snowflakes like these ones here.

This is the last Urban Jungle Bloggers' appointment for 2015. It has been a Joy to be part of it and as always many thanks to Judith and Igor who initiated this series. I send you all my best planty wishes for 2016, with 2 of my favourite cacti. Did you encounter them various times before here right? I love to move them around, from room to room. I They often star in my pictures. I hope they don't mind too much; luckily they seem to be doing fine anyway.

Happy and green end of the year everyone!
