african violet
I think I have a problem. Snowing. Raining. Sleeting. Hail. It doesn’t seem to matter how uninspiring it is outside I still seem to end up at a garden store on the weekends. In the last couple years I started spending a lot less time in bars and pubs and a lot more time in garden centers and nurseries. It’s a sickness really, here I am happily blogging on a Saturday night talking ab0ut plants once again. It makes my mind’s eye smile, I don’t know what it is about them but I find them incredibly fascinating. Perhaps it’s deeper then just you and me, perhaps I’m connecting to my ancestral urge to be one with nature. I have no idea. It is a good time in history to be a plant collector, the variety is endless, and so far I almost always find something new, eventually.
Onto this week’s plant hoarding. Three new additions to the collection.
The latest to the collection, Cyclamen Coum, a new saintpaulia (african violet) and a Gasteria of which I’m still trying to track down the variety name. Yes, I needed these. Right?
