My balcony

My balcony in evening and morning light.

I have got a crush on flowers and plants and I am eagerly visiting the flower shop nowadays for inspiration. My balcony is glassed so all flowers do not survive there when it gets too warm in the summer, although all windows can of course be opened. Therefore I decided to pick some plants that I think should be quite hardy. Strawberry plants, pelargonium (I like the deep colours on these flowers in old-fashioned granny-style) and a fig tree. I am especially happy about the fig tree and I could not resist it because the leaves were big, in tbe correct green shade and just perfectly and symmetrically placed all the way around the stem. If you have any good advice how to keep this lovely tree alive forever, please share! :)

Flowers

 

Weekend is here and I have visited the flower shop. Seems that I cannot get enough there, so much nice stuff that I do not know what to choose. I want it all!  This time I was about to buy boxwood but the right size for my balcony was sold out. I have to wait...So this pot and flower and some other flowers and branches, too, followed me home. And the more I went out on the balcony, the more I started to picture one flower pot  here and one there and one boxwood here and one tree there, vegetables and herbs and yes, finally a complete garden in there...! Green everywhere! Oh... I have to get some sleep and calm down. I do not know where this interest in flowers and garden has come. It is new!

 

 

Have a nice weekend all!
