One of the things I love about owning my own house with such a wonderful garden is that I have fresh flowers in the house almost constantly. Because of the wonderful owners before me, who I was told were avid gardeners I already have a great base of plants that I just have to simply maintain. A perfectly planned balanced garden that has blooming flowers all year around. At first when we moved in I was in terror of attempting to keep everything alive. There are literally hundreds of different species of plants and I being an apartment dweller my entire adult life this initially freaked me the HELL OUT.
Thankfully I was able to purchase a book Encyclopaedia Plant Care by Miracle Gro that has been INVALUABLE in the keeping all the living green plants alive at the house. There have been a few casualties but that is mostly due to the fact that our home was tented for termite’s right before we first moved in and not due to my very black thumb. So thanks to my wonderful backyard I have a plethora of wonderful beautiful flowers in my home and this obsession with fresh flowers in the house has led to a very extensive vase collection. I am particularly in love with clear glass vases of all sizes and shapes. I keep the vases collected on a table in the greenhouse so that I have easy access when another set of plants begin to bloom. And I have flowers tucked away into corners of my home all year long. That is one of the things I love most about California the constant bloom of life even in the dead of winter.
