dreaming green...

If I had it my way, my home would be full of maiden hair, window boxes would be colorful, a garden would be in my daily routine and various other plant projects would be the norm.  Unfortunately, my life and my apartment don't allow for such things.  Ok.  Fine.  I also kill everything I bring into my home.  Many an orchid and basil plant has suffered and died under my care.  My newest purchase is a succulant plant, not unlike these:

Don't worry.  I will be merciful and not attempt.
