new arrival: umbrella tree Tweet

umbrella tree, originally uploaded by gorgeoux.

Yesterday I went out decided to bring home new babies. They were supposed to be colourful by means of flowers, and resistant. Well, I couldn't resist the umbrella tree though I've never seen one pop flowers. Resistance it has, as one exemplar lives successfully on rain alone, forgotten on the little terrace in the back of the house—when I leave this place, it will go with me, of course. Until then, I wanted my own, smaller version, and accepted that colourful in this case will be the pot, bought at Easter time in Ipswich. Now the teapot isn't lonely either, and the left corner of the balcony pleases my heart. To understand my level of craziness, I also got this one because it is a darker green and variegated version, unlike the one outside. Because they will live together one day, right? And you want them complementary, right? You want some variety, right? A tinsy umbrella tree collection of sorts. Even more pleasing to the heart.
