Friday outdoors

Yesterday we went to auntie´s house to cut back lavender, but it has not been possible because of the rain. I will try it again soon. I picked the old one which was hanging in the garden shed.

Intento fallido de recoger la lavanda. No ha parado de llover en toda la noche y esta mañana todavía estaba húmeda. Ayer aproveché y recogí la del año pasado, que todavía estaba en el cobertizo de la tía.

Rain, variegated nasturtium seed and beautiful house at Apartment Therapy

The rain doesn´t stop these days. The secret garden is taking some profit of it.

The other day while looking for some seeds for the kids to plant I found this unique variegated nasturtium seed, if it germinates it will be her 3erd year. Last year the plant produced this only seed. We will see!

At Apartment Therapy I have found this nice interior. 

Beautiful day at the plant fair!

Amor vegetal

Esta pequeña begonia con hoja de caracol me tiene enamorada.

I am in love with my beautiful new begonia.

Lavender sachets, spiders and apples

This morning we have been to my in laws orchard to take some apples and to auntie´s house to arrange the garden. There was a lot of fog and spiders around it.

He empezado a preparar los saquitos de lavanda de rigor, una amiga suele venderlos en su tienda de Barcelona. Esta mañana hemos ido a la huerta de mis suegros a por manzanas y más tarde he ayudado a la tía a limpiar el jardín.

The Plant

Carol Montpart and Thierry Boutemy at The Plant
Carol´s interview is an interesting one, she talks about the different ways of gardening between Barcelona and London.

baby ceropegia

I have always wanted to have one of this. I sell them at work and yesterday unwrapping a new one a little stem broke so I took it and made some cuttings.

siempre he querido tener una de estas. Las vendo en mi trabajo y ayer aproveché un tallo que se había roto de una planta nueva para hacer esquejes. A esperar.

cactus & autumm

at the second hand shop I found little pots for my cacti collection. The one at the first photo is a birthday present for an eight years old girl. I don´t know if she will appreciate it!

the first one

the last week this gorgeous anthurium arrived at the shop. His name is "Chocolate love".

Of course I fall in love with him immediately! And he is now in my house... It is my first anthurium. I have always wanted to own one.

I took this photo today at work thinking about this beautiful post that I read yesterday night at Ringo, have a banana! blog. 

el septimo de caballería

yes, this little point at the tulip leaf is a ladybug (coccinelle). I hope that she will be a hungry one. (for those of you who don´t garden , ladybug is the natural aphid predator)

safe and sound

 recycled chlorophytum and the new AD!
