*Welcoming The Green Inside*

 

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.IMG_4272

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.

P1050136

It is enormous now.

I suppose I like showering while surrounded by nature. Minus the bugs thankyouverymuch. 

Do you invite green INSIDE your house too?

  2. Are those wine corks in that big glass container? 🙂 I collect corks too. I 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!

  3. 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

  4. I 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…

  10. Funny 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.

  12. Hi There, I love 'greenery' in the house also—but I've been known to bring BUGS in at times. YIPES!!!!!In 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

  15. I really like your papyrus plant and the way you use it inside your house.I like to bring in rose buds for Betsy, but so far I haven't found a green rose.

  18. I 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*

  24. 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.
