plants are my best friends


gold and white to match my mom's Christmas theme

now that i have graduated into adulthood, i've begun to experience something i never had time for before: seasons and holidays. there is something satisfying about dedicating time to decorate and craft to celebrate our current place in time. The winter holidays truly are an amazing way to herald in the long months of winter, by surrounding yourself with all the people who got you through the past year(s).

long story short. i decorated my plants for the coming holiday.


Seymour decorated for the holidays.

some of my plants are even reaching their first birthdays. like the Kalanchoe tomentosa ("Panda Plant") i grew from a cutting last December. i bought a whole bunch from Succulents Galore on etsy for an installation- and from then on i've been hooked. the Kalanchoe is affectionately known as Seymour.


baby Seymour - cutting december 2011

look how much he's grown! i have to say, I am a bit bummed at the stretch of growth he has at the top, especially after seeing how great he looks in this photo from august.
