Summer here in Australia & winter back home in Sweden – both wonderful seasons. I thought this image was suitable & a good description of two great cultures – with red tin cans for Christmas & suitable plants for summer. A good mix of two wonderful countries as well as seasons.

Newspaper, cotton string & a nice green plant – and there you go – a great gift that lasts for a long time. Position it in the right place & you will get a nice eye-catcher.

What a beautiful photo with spruce & pines in front of a black-painted cottage. Grass & bushes between the cottage & the fence makes the whole charming. It’s also a bit atmospheric with the exciting light.

Succulents – sometimes also called fat plants, fascinates me, for some reason. It’s plants that have parts that are a bit thicker, probably to enable water to be stored during dry periods. I like their unusual appearance. Each one looks different & they can survive anything, which is a good thing for someone like me, that hasn’t the talent for required green thumbs! Their green shades, from dark to the brightest green, makes those plants interesting. Especially in combination with white or black pots. But the best thing is that they look nice & are suitable everywhere. Useful in concrete pots, transparent glass, clay pots, or a mix of all – they have the ability to blend in & harmonize in the environment. I prefer toned-down versions where the plants are to their best advantage. Succulents can be quite colorful but like I said, the simple green variants with their fat leafs, in pots which don’t take too much of the impact. That’s what I like!

Greenery – an endless source of joy. My feeling for green is greater than my ability, unfortunately. I like cut fresh flowers, flowering plants, etc. Not that I regularly fill my home but more as an eye-catcher when it suits. It inspires a sense of luxury, although it’s a simple & straightforward things to enjoy in the everyday life. Now, one need not be limited to flowers at home. Greenery is everywhere around us, whether it’s gardens, parks or forests. Moreover there is a huge range of stylish garden stuff & accessories, that attracts whether you’re interested or not. I mean, if you wish to create a feeling without having to work in the soil such as digging, moving around, cutting & pruning – well then different pots, tools, wooden boxes, a wheelbarrow & other fitting items can do the trick.
It’s good to make use of the nice weather & take the opportunity or time to actually see all the nice things around. If nothing else, it can inspire to a visit to the garden store, which could brighten the day. Me – I’m just inspired by the wonderful weather, my very little green garden on the back & the cup of coffe in the morning, before it gets too hot. Greenery, that’s my thing right now 🙂
