A Storybook Life

I love flowers! I love them even more when I can enjoy them all year! But, beautiful blooming plants that come in tiny little packages are what I love most of all!

When you grow small house plants, you don’t have to worry about the biggest problem that most people face when trying to enjoy a touch of nature indoors - space! And, if you’re like me, once you have a few plants, you’re going to be hungry for more :) When I found out that plants don’t have to be big to be beautiful, a whole new world opened up to me!

For some reason, I’ve always been infatuated with all things miniature! In kindergarten, I remember my teacher reading us a story called “The little old lady who lived in a vinegar bottle.” Although I don’t remember anything about the story itself, I can still remember dreaming about what it might be like to live in atiny little cottage hidden somewhere among the ferns on the forest floor. And, after all these years… I’m still dreaming :)

Many years ago, my aunt gave me a tiny little egg shaped container that held a sweet little surprise inside! As I opened the top, inside sat the tiniest little plant - almost unbelievably tiny! The plant had lots of velvety green leaves, piles of little white slipper shaped blossoms, and even a bit of moss covering the soil. The most amazing thing about this gift was, from leaf tip to leaf tip, this little potted gem was only 1 1/2 inches across! This was the beginning of my love for miniature houseplants.
