Indoor plants and flowers keep me happy until
Spring arrives with baskets of bouncy flowers.
These gorgeous blooms are keeping me company
right now.
The white amaryllis bulb I got for 3.00 after the New Year.
It now has two stalks of flowers blooming.
That makes eight flowers!
I thought it looked good next to the orchid.
My dilemna to solve was the visible pot
after dropping the potted plants into
the vintage white soup tureens.
I tried a white sheer thin fabric like
a scarf, but it ended up looking like a sock
that fell to the plants ankles.
I looked around me for something else.
Problem solving without spending money
is always pleasant, and needful.
A few old books I picked up at a used
book store for art projects caught my eye
across the room.
Three pages for each pot were torn out
of the book and used as liners.
I think they look clean lined and crisp!
(The ribbon hides the title of the book.)
The hardbound book cost me a dollar
and still more projects are left with it.
It almost reminds me of getting nuts or
treats in a paper bag from a street food
vendor or country fair.
Don't be surprised if all of my plants will be
wrapped in old book pages now!
The flower petals on both plants shimmer like satin.
I've keep the white color theme and there is
such a ethereal beauty and calm in this room.
