Where the Wild Plants Grow

Shelved under Environment, Interesting tidbits, Philippines, Photo Hunters, Snapshots

Its Saturday once again and its time to hunt for photos with something WILD.

I was a little pressed for time so I just had to make do with the photos I have and did not bother rummage through my archived photos.

Are these shell lamps pretty? These shell lamps hang on a trellis in the MIL’s second floor mini-garden.

So what is wild about this?

MIL just arrived from a six-month vacation in the USA and there was no one to tend her mini-garden while she was away so the trellis plant looked like this:

It has grown a bit wild, hasn’t it?

By the way, I have another entry here, a wild crowd.

Well, at least it looked better than my garden now as I was too sick to mend it too. But… my kitties love the wilderness :P

Everything grows wild when you don’t give it constant attention. But it looks quite attractive to me. Have a great weekend Julie.

If I left for 6 months and came back they probably wouldn’t be wild. They would be dead, lol.

The greens are soooo relaxing, Julie. Set up a chair and table and you’ve got yourself a wonderful nook for afternoon tea or morning meditations!

There is no way greenery can be unbeautiful .. even if growing wild.

I agree AM. But I should have included a photo of those vines climbing the water tank but I was too lazy to find it in the archives, it was a bit scary :D
