New House Plants (& Fling Pots!)

Happy 2019! There are so many things I want to share after taking a break, but i'm going to start with some of my catch up fling posts! On one of the fling nights, we had a great dinner and raffle, courtesy of the sponsors. There was also a pinata!

While I didn't win any of the "official" prizes, the tickets for each prize were collected in pots, and I won two of those! The colors didn't really go with any of the outside garden, but they made an excellent excuse to buy new plants for indoors. It was probably safer (for the plants) to plant new indoor plants at this point in the summer anyway...

The first new plant was the first pilea peperomioides that i ever tracked down locally!

i thought that yellow decoration was a bee, but i think it's just a plant

I got one pot of pilea, but was able to break it into 3 plants! One went here, one on the dining room table, and one in the shower. Yes, i have a lot of indoor plants...It's what keeps me busy during the summer.

The 2nd pot got a simple green ficus benjamina.

perhaps not the most exciting house plant, but it works!

To tie the two pots together, plus use up another cute cache pot, they were joined by a red & yellow flowering bromeliad. It won't last forever, of course, but that's ok. Sometimes house plants can be "annuals" too!

and three plants look better than 2 - that's what my designer friends tell me anyway...

They are all living right by the front door window, where they should get just enough light without burning. And i get to see my fling pots every time!
