I’ve not been shy about my love for all things nature.
I’ve also not been shy about my love for all things green. In the color sense as well as the environmental sense.
Some of the best greens inside our house, started outside.
I could cut for days and in our yard…so much to choose from.
Just some green stuff…being green. and FREE too.
Seeing green makes me happy.
I have a favorite (and kinda new) plant to cut from now...
I planted this Papyrus plant on the lanai back in May.
It is enormous now.
And it makes the coolest cuttings!!
In the guest shower above and on our shower ledge below.
I suppose I like showering while surrounded by nature. Minus the bugs thankyouverymuch.
Do you invite green INSIDE your house too?
My silly cats eat anything I bring in! I sure love the plants on your lanai. Love the way you display your green cuttings around your home - very pretty!
ReplyDeleteAre those wine corks in that big glass container? :) I collect corks too.
ReplyDeleteI like greens too but I seem to kill most plants. I have managed to keep this one plant alive that we got when my husband and I first got married but now that I write that maybe it's him keeping it alive?
I love the way you bring the green inside...very nice Suz!
Hope you Wednesday is wonderful!
Green is my favorite color. I especially love green eyes. I don't cut any green things outside but I do buy flowers at the market. Even when they are totally NOT in the budget. They just make our home seem happier. I am sucker for happy! XO
ReplyDeleteI do love bringing green inside. We have plants everywhere in the house! There isn't a room in the house that doesn't at least have one plant in it, and come winter, there will be even more. All the plants that were taken outside during the summer will have to find a home indoors, wish me luck...
ReplyDeleteOoooh, papyrus. Pretty, pretty.
ReplyDeleteI drag all kinds of stuff inside. There are usually lots of flowers blooming in the garden and herbs and bushes that never mind giving up a cutting or two.
But...oooh. Papyrus. Pretty.
I don't think I've ever seen a Papyrus--very cool-looking.
ReplyDeleteHa! My eyes were drawn to the wine corks too! I saw the cutest picture frame of wine corks last night. I need to start keeping mine!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had palms like that.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how much that plant has grown! I've got some green in now that the weather is getting cooler...we'll see how long they last!
ReplyDeleteFunny you asked: I love fresh-cut flowers, but I don't like house plants (except the orchid - but even so, Gregg takes care of it!). However, this year, some of the flowers in our yard had teeny, tiny GREEN bugs on them! When I cut the flowers and put them in a vase inside the house, within a short time, there were little green bugs hopping here and there, like tiny grasshoppers. ICK. So I've left the flowers outside for most of the season.
ReplyDeleteNope because my greens always turn brown :(
ReplyDeleteHi There, I love 'greenery' in the house also---but I've been known to bring BUGS in at times. YIPES!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIn late Fall, some of our outside potted plants go to the garage... AND--some of them come in the house --to sit by the sliding glass door in the dining room (where they can get sun all winter). ANYHOO---I have to work hard to make sure that there are no bugs in those plants I bring inside... And--that is NOT always easy!
Love your 'greenery' in your bathroom....
Hugs,
Betsy
If I had green so lovely as yours, I would absolutely invite it inside!
ReplyDeleteI love bamboo, but I'm going to have to add papyrus to my list of indoor plants. Simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI really like your papyrus plant and the way you use it inside your house.
ReplyDeleteI like to bring in rose buds for Betsy, but so far I haven't found a green rose.
not to mention your love for wine... thatsa lotta corks :)
ReplyDeleteyou have the green thumb and the decorating thumb--you always make things look so nice :)
ReplyDeleteI like green, but not plants. I kill everything I try to grow. And if it's already dead and brought in to look all pretty (like cut flowers) then it bothers my asthma. Or the cat tries to eat it. So we've declared the 'flower giving' years officially over. *sad face*
ReplyDeleteWell I do love to bring home lots of green broccoli from the produce store (in my eco friendly bags) :-D
ReplyDeleteWe're surrounded by green here in the country, my soul finally sings. Ah!
You have such a beautiful home busy bee!!
That is such a great plant... I would love to take those cuttings into the house.
ReplyDeleteYa, greens my fav too but we only have green things part of the year in this state....
ReplyDeleteLove yours :)
nope, in fact i chase those pesky critters around with a fly swatter!!
ReplyDeletebut my bean she brings things in her pockets!! crawly fuzzy things to prickly things to green and orange leaves for her leaf collection!! she has no fear i tell ya, but don't video tape me doing her laundry!!
nothing funnier than a 200 pound woman screaming while tossing a size 4t pants through the garage!!
There is a considerable amount of green in my house. I should probably blog it. But nothing like the architecture of papyrus! I love it...and I bet it lasts a while in the vase of water too!
ReplyDeleteBee-You-Tee-Full!!!
I don't have a lot of green inside because I tend to forget to water stuff. (which reminds me, I need to water the plants today!) I do love all of your green cuttings.
