This morning's stroll took place indoors, because lately I'm obssessing about my houseplants.
I think my heirloom Christmas cactus (offspring of a century-old Canadian plant) might be an Election Day cactus this year!
This begonia is the offspring of a plant grown by a dear friend in Clifton, Bristol, in the flat where we spent so many happy years.
Sweet olive has been a favourite all my life. It's fragrance is unearthly. Large shrubs of it surround my parents' home, and small though it is I'm thrilled to have this reliable specimen. This is its second or third blossoming this year!
The Chap gave me this Crown of Thorns for Christmas several years ago. This year I think it has bloomed in 9 months out of 12.
The flower...
...is identical to the paper poppies worn by the British at this time of year, to honour Remembrance Day.
If you want to help me decide how to dispose of my unloved arrowhead plant, read the previous blogpost.
