Simple Pleasure…a touch of green

I like a little green in the house.

A few living things.

The hardier, the better, since I don’t have a particularly green thumb.

The begonia, that, (amazingly!), keeps happily blooming, sitting by the window in my entryway.

I’ve recently added a couple succulents that are doing well, at least so far!

That’s my simple pleasure this week, house plants that are actually surviving!

Still following,

    What a lovely delicate colour on your begonia!
    This would give me much pleasure too!
    I love houseplants but I'm not very successful with them.
    Enjoyed seeing yours today, Elizabeth :-)

    What a beautiful begonia! I also like low maintenance hardy plants. The second succulent should do very well, they are very easy to "grow".

    I NEED to see green since we live in a desert. Sadly, while we were away for 10 days, many of my plants on the balconies died, but the succulents survived. Their leaves became very flat but once I started watering them again, they plumped back up. Think I will make making a visit to the plant souk very soon for some replacements. Have a terrific Thursday! Tammy

    I'm proud to report that my green houseplants are doing well too. That's saying something, too!

    (Thank you for your prayers, Elizabeth)

    Oh, that begonia is pretty. I don't really have any houseplants, I usually just go with fresh flowers :)

    I'm with you on this one, I love my houseplants for a splash of colour in the home. It is SOOO satisfying when they thrive isn't it?

    That begonia is fab! I do love my houseplants. I may have to borrow this idea one of these weeks and post pics of mine, although they're only green.
