Urban Green

In the age of sustainable living, the path to happiness goes through home-grown outdoor plants. This especially applies for townsfolk as we are. Thus we also avoided to be offside, followed the Zeitgeist and invested all our energy (and a lot of our money) into the plants on the balcony of our residence.























Of course, wreckful hailstorms are also a part of the Zeitgeist and of them met our geraniums a week ago. And meanwhile a fungus seize the opportunity and settled in with them. Though we are certain to overcoming this adversity as well.

Saturday Flower - Midwinter Edition




This is a Helleborus niger, commonly also called Christmas rose. It's actually blossoming on our balcony. Strangely it's blossoming in winter and enjoys temperatures around the freezing point. I have no idea how propagation works for them at this temperature.

We bought three of them last year, when I took the picture I use on my blog banner. As this picture shows, they made it through summer. Though, we had to put it in the shade.

5 on the fifth - Looking Up

This month's 5 on the fifth theme is Looking Up. I did not walk far, since there are already plenty of flowers on our balcony looking up to the spring sun.

Saturday Flowers



I already took a picture of a wet flower in the morning while getting some croissants for breakfast, but then suddenly, after 8 long days of rain, the sun came out :)
