orchids at the top deck

I also love to see greens and colorful flowers around the house. I am no green thumb also. But good thing is, my husband is He also has planted orchids in our yard. I just suggest what plant I want to have and he is the one who plants them, and even takes care of them. Because just like what you mentioned in one of your comments, the plants wither when I tend them.

Hello SimplyD, Now that my dog has finally finished chewing flowers up and knocking all the plants over I might try again too. Not sure if he is out of the habit yet so I might just wait a while longer. Very nice photo and I love all kinds of flowers in some people´s house they have really fabulous flower arrangements that makes me feel really happy to look at such nice things although where I live there are mainly common wild flowers but all combined together look just as lovely although some might not think so. Brilliant red poppies are due to start blooming soon and white chamomile flowers too and also some honey coloured kind of flowers but not sure what they are called. See if I can put a photo or two on when they do come through so you can see them.xxx

That is quite beautiful and quite creative, and I am sure there are many who notice and stop and glare in amazement and take pictures. This is quite an amazement for someone to even consider doing something like this. Would take a lot of work to keep them looking this nice for sure.

I like having plants and flowers around the house as well. Since I really don't have the green thumb nor the luxury to hire someone to fix our yard, I have to make do with potted plants. All I have to do is make sure they get enough water and sunlight. But since I am hopeless, I tend to drown them or fry them.

our house is on a corner lot so we have plants around the house. there used to be fruit-bearing trees, too, when we were kids. we even have plants inside the house. my mother takes care of them, but now she's more into edible plants so she goes to manila seedling bank once in a while. she also had the pots painted in white and apple green. i lived in a boarding house for a while, which was inside a small subdivision where public transportation aren't allowed, so it's so nice to walk around because the air is fresh, the trees are huge, and some houses have walls of bougainvillea or yellowbells. i'm okay with ordinary flowers that grow anywhere. i had officemates from pangasinan who would laugh when i'm so happy to see them because they are considered just roadside plants in the province.
