| 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 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!

Molto bello. Infatti quella poltrona sta anche molto bene davanti a quella parete.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work, Theo.
Si, davvero. Grazie :-)
DeleteThe snowflakes are so sweet! Especially as they would totally melt around here, it was 15°C today here in France, amazing! Thank you for the last UJB post of the year... and I loooooove your pink spine cactus, it looks really nice again the purple backdrop, just like a #plantcolorpop ;) Wish you a lovely Christmas break, Stefania! bisous!
ReplyDeleteThank you Judith :-) It was very warm here too until yesterday. Sunny and warm but it can change so quickly. Yes I could very well use my pink cactus for #plantcolorpop. I don't think the pink is natural, sometimes colours are used on cacti. Still, the ink hue stayed after more than a year. Round this time of the year I have seen many glittery succulents for sale -not that I like it actually.
DeleteHave a beautiful Christmas too Judith, and happy new planty year!
