Say It With Flowers

Wall Street is in the tank. But we still have life. So with no further ado, Happy Monday everyone!

I am absolutely blown away by these unexpected arrangements featured in Germany-based Myself magazine. I particularly love how the carefully-considered props interact with the flowers/plants to 'tell a story'. Really makes me rethink the role nature plays in the home. So inspiring!

Bright Sunshiny Day

My sweet hubby suprised me with these over the weekend. Aren't they pretty?

Plant Love Part II

Yesterday I posted about saving my plant (thanks for the tips Simone!). Seemed Desire To Inspire also had greenery on the brain yesterday. Here they wrote a great story on decorating with large plants. Check it out!

Save My Plant!

Does anyone have this lovely plant? My sweet hubby got it for me as a Mother's Day gift. I love it but am at a loss as to how to care for it. According to hubby, it's a lily but he's not exactly sure what type. I thought it might be a peace lily but the pics I've seen online show much smaller plants.

In the interim, this big baby is beginning to look not so perky. As you can see, I haven't re-potted it yet because I was told to wait a little while to let the plant acclimatize to our home environment. However, I have moved it to a more shaded and spacious spot and have watered it once per the plant vendor's instructions. Any other ideas? The bottom leaves are dying and I am worried the upper ones will soon follow. Would love to hear from you green-thumbs out there! Thanks!
