Are you a plant person?

.

There are currently 31 houseplants in our home and my husband is rapidly running out of jokes about living in a jungle.

There are big plants…

.

.

And small plants.

.

.

Plants that started out small… but have grown too big for their pots.

.

.

Hell, there are even plants trying to make a run for it and escape their pots altogether.

.

.

The money tree hasn’t netted me one red cent…

.

.

And the pothos will probably wrap around my legs and swallow me whole one day…

.

.

But I love plants and never seem to get my fill.

.

.

Exactly!

Although by the looks of that picture, I actually do have all of those plants.

And today we continue with Succulent Picture Frames.

(Disclaimer – This class does not require sucking. But I think that’s offered at PT’s Showclub in Portland.)

Materials fee of $60 included in the price of the course. No discounts.

 

A frame. Made out of plants.

My first question is why?

Don’t get me wrong, I love plants… they’re beautiful and versatile.

 

 

As well as great disguises when you’re stalking an ex.

 

 

They can even rid your house of pesky flies… I get it.

 

 

Though we all know that can go horribly wrong…

 

 

But hell, I can hardly be bothered to dust my current picture frames, now they want me to water one?

No.

Because while I have lovely outdoor gardens, and a house full of healthy green leafy plants?

I will kill each and every succulent I touch.

I must over water….. or love them too much.

Because yes, apparently that’s a thing.

 

 

So if I want my walls to be covered in framed plants?

I’ll just dye my cobwebs green and call it good.
