URBAN JUNGLE BLOGGERS 25 > PLANTY WISHES 2016






I love the pink spikes of this mammillariaa 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!

  1. Molto bello. Infatti quella poltrona sta anche molto bene davanti a quella parete.
    Keep up the good work, Theo.

  2. The 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!

    1. Thank 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.
      Have a beautiful Christmas too Judith, and happy new planty year!
