My Indoor Plants
"How lovely the silence of growing things." ~ Unknown
Winter isn't kind to my love of nature. The cold weather, biting wind, and bare trees make me more inclined to hide out indoors than to see solace on a nature walk. But my indoor plants seem to thrive in the winter. They love the warm sunlight that streams through the sunroom windows, pulling them towards the sky. Each winter, I find myself in the garden center, rescuing half dead plants from the clearance rack, bringing them home into the warmth of my care. Caring for plants is a place of serenity for me. A moment or two of quiet in a otherwise noisy week. The plants don't need much, just some water and maybe a touch of food, but they reward me with their beauty each time I walk past them.
This winter I added to my collection an English Ivy, a tiny succulent, and a beautiful lady slipper Orchid. So far they are thriving, keeping me warm and content until the green returns outdoors.
