Hanging plants.











I was in the garden centre yesterdaymorning,
looking for some hanging plants;
problem is, my ceiling's not strong enough to fix a hook :(
still have to find a solution, i want them to hang free,
not against the wall or window.
I also did some repotting this morning and took some shoots
from the lemon-scented geranium.
I feel very seventies lately, even bought a tiny String of Hearts
and a Staghorn Fern and I Desperately Need To Have a macramé
hanging basket! :-)
The plant in the wooden container is a Nepenthes.
The one next to the hearts is a Cissus Ivy.
I owe my liking for hanging plants to ii-ne-kore,
love to see her posts about plants and flowers,
especially this one, in case you pop over to fedor,
have a look at the moving parts too, they're dazzling and
hilaric at the same time and I love the score.
Bliss.
Bye bye.

  1. I love hanging plants too! but I also do not really have anywhere to hang them, so my cats end up eating them because they are somewhere within reach(they are so bad!).

    That post from ii-ne-kore looks AMAZING! I have never seen anything like it!

    And as for your hanging pot problem, is a joist in the ceiling you can hang the pot from? Hopefully it would be located in an ideal location!

  2. to celine: the ceiling has only a thin layer of plaster, that's all, we tried with plug and screw but it didn't work, too bad :(

  3. All my indoor plants died recently(but one ,dear thing)They got some exotic and wierd disease-so I am not going to embark on new plant adventures for a while- but I will definitely enjoy yours and I will hop over and look at your inspiration as well! good luck with the new loves!

  7. Renilde, your photos always look like you can touch them. As in the plants, and textures. I love them! I love lemon scented geranium, and loved your 70's comment. ha ha. ii-ne-kore does have a stunning blog... agree! Must scoot, good luck with the macrame shopping.

  8. Ever since I saw you in that photo wearing your mum's old Dior sunnies I thought you suited the 70s vibe! I think someone of your abilities could do their own macrame in a snap :) Looking forward to seeing it. Your photos are just luscious. Kx

  9. hanging plants are great of course, but groups of pots against a wall are also just as good:)

  10. Yummy scented geranium. I should get one. My parents had a greenhouse all the while I was growing up. I loved the scented "Martha Washington" geraniums they grew. I would rub the leaves and smell that lemony scent. Lucky you.

  17. It's such a shame you can't hang them from your ceiling, they would so good hanging in macrame hanger. My mum used to make the best 70's macrame hangers, I loved them so much, with wooden beads and long fringes. I would love to see your spin on a 70's pot hanger!! xx
