We spent the long Independence Day weekend at my parents' place. What lovely weather we had; it was drizzly and cool, and the sky was a riot of colours.
Just the right time for me to get some more plants from my mom's terrific garden. It is amazing just how many plants she has on her terrace, all in containers. It is a veritable plant nursery if you ask me! :)
So now I have some money plant or pothos in a Snapple bottle livening up my kitchen ledge.
And the terracotta planter that I mentioned before, traditionally called the tulsi chauras in north India, finally has its share of Indian basil in place.
Some more saplings are showing up but I'll write about them only after they have grown a bit. And yes, the portulaca has been flowering steadily. :)
What more does one need than some greens around the house to soothe the senses!

we also always had these money plants growing in glass bottles....a plant that most city dwellers can afford to maintain!
Yes, just looking at the money plant in a glass bottle gives this feeling of familiarity, a connect with your growing-up days back at your parental home! :)
