The cold weather and frost is well and truly here (though no snow since the day after Hallowe’en) and my gardens are well and truly done for the year. It means I have to turn to my indoor plants for my green and growing fix.
Thankfully, I have lots of those to choose from.
I picked up this new one at Home Depot a couple weeks ago. It’s a Chinese Evergreen. I LOVE plants that have pink in the leaves. But don’t tell Dave how much I paid for it – I thought it was $7 and when I got it to the cash, it was actually $17. But I was too attached by then so it came home.
This one is a couple months old – it’s a type of Inch plant (Tradescantia) – like the bigger ones by super, super tiny. It hangs in the kitchen window and is very happy there – I just recently had to turn it so it would grow more evenly.
This one is several month old too – and I bought it for the pot, not the plant – how cute is that little Axolotl???
And speaking of cute planters….
I picked up this one last time I was down at Mom’s. I bought it for the planter, but also the little black cat pick, AND the plant. It’s a Hoya. I had a Hoya ages ago, which was taking from a cutting from a very old plant (like 30 years old) that my Mom had. Unfortunately, both my cutting and the old plant kicked it several years ago. I’ve been meaning to get another, but for some reason, you don’t see them that often around here. That this one came in a super cute pot was just a bonus. He’s supposed to be hanging in my office, but I haven’t gotten around to putting him up yet.
And last – I’ve been terribly neglectful in sharing pics of the little succulents I got for the wee animal pots Sam brought me last time she visited.
Dave moved some stuff around in the dining room and it made space on the corner hutch from his Grandma. I think they look just perfect all lined up there!

My favorite (s) are the tiny animal pots in the last photo. Oh my gosh they’re cute!!! I can’t even pick a favorite, they’re all so sweet.
Blessings and hugs,

What a lovely little plant family you have! I did that once with a watercolor paintbrush. It was just an itty bitty thing and I thought it was a dollar something and it turned out it was $10 and something. I was too embarrassed to put it back. I wish I could say it was a great paintbrush but I don’t even know what ever happened to it.

The little fox and raccoon plant dishes/pots are darling! I can remember Hoyas being very popular when I was growing up.

Well, I thought you already had an awesome plant collection but these new additions are just wonderful. These should definitely help you thru the no-gardening winter.

Love those little pots! Have you ever had a Hoya bloom? The flowers are pretty odiferous but nice looking. That new plant really is pretty; it could have been $70 not 17!! So, you scored.

Houseplants add warmth and a welcoming tone to a home. Love the Hoya! I used to have several houseplants, but when I developed allergies, they had to go.
