A Few New Things

I am going to start selling these things soon.  We are running out of room and I just can't stop playing in the dirt!  :)  Here is one I put together last weekend.

I had a couple streptocarpella stems that were starting to root so I added those, a little reindeer moss and a couple cool succulents.  I love how the one on the left looks like Medusa.  
You can't see it too well, but I put a layer of sand down to give some differentiation in color too.  
I also put a few plants in the bedroom.  I took this rabbit foot fern and added some different mosses to the base to make it look more interesting and to help keep it moist.
I am trying to keep more cut flowers in the house.  They make me happy.  These ranunculus are just beautiful and make me a little happier every day when I have to get up.  
I took a mason jar - I think it used to hold the yummy salsa my parents make - cut the stems pretty short and stuck them in.  It was perfect for my night stand.  Aren't they just beautiful!  One of my favorite flowers.  Jon keeps asking - can't you grow these?  I say, yes, if I had a backyard :)  Until then, thank you Whole Foods.
