We are into our natural dry spell of late fall and winter through spring. Punctuated
with some rains here and there. Only watering very very sparingly unlike past
seasons. Besides there isn't any thing natural in watering with treated water.
If you ever noticed how your yard looks after a nice rain, there is no comparison.
As a remembrance to the under performing potted specimens that served well
enough for their time spent here in my garden I created this kitchen windowsill
terrarium. This will carry a lot of beauty that those other plants once had and
given.
With several elements needed to create something from nothing. I had the inspiration,
along with some favorite items that I had collected over time.
My fascination with glass that this cut glass top container with a free form looking base
shows off quite to my liking.Will hold these other natural elements with stones,
translucent orb along with a young fern.
This fern was a volunteer that was growing along with a cactus, of all things. What
could be two more diverse subjects of the Plant Kingdom and yet be found side by
side. Probably says more to why the cactus did not do all that well due to our moist
climate. This cactus wore a coating of rust that covered it head to toe. All the while
this fern sitting at the base of this potted cactus showing how it is thriving. Starting
from a spore that blew in off the wind. Or a spore that rubbed off the side of a lizard
that had clamored up the side of this pot for a perch while scoping out it's next meal.
This live fern adds to my growing indoor plant collection of three. A record for this
month and many years from someone who had vowed not to grow any plants indoors
and even harder to maintain them in this even harsher home environment.
