    I’m told these are likely to be the last of the season so I’m very glad I dropped in to the florist this morning and found them! And then I happened upon a Facebook memory from last year when it seems that I picked up a bunch of hydrangeas from the very same florist one…

    Five Minutes with my Chinese Money Plant – RegularRandom

    I’ve recently rearranged the living area of my apartment and moved this thriving little Chinese Money Plant to the side table next to my couch.
