Are you one of those happy green hands certainly successful planting and floral ornaments?

I envy your luck and your talent, which I do not unfortunately. Despite all my attentions, plants wither away the bad taste in my contact. At the time of this writing, you see me full of concern for the beautiful orchid that I was recently offered, and who has not suffered this terrible curse - you can legitimately argue that I sets the bar very high and an orchid is supremely fragile and difficult to maintain ... but is it more graceful floral ornament that orchids?

This reality is even more regrettable that plants advantageously animate any interior, and fully participate as such a successful design. Moreover, greenery, flowers and grasses are now investing the world of design and urban architecture, with a lot of green walls, roof gardens and natural materials. Without wanting to scream again the Cultural Revolution, the combination of mineral and organic is definitely an ancestral reality, I am in awe of the green initiatives that flower (note the metaphor ...) at the discretion of the streets and some buildings public.

But back to our sheep the issue of plants in interior decoration. The unfortunate like me, who have renounced enrich garden centers and florists by investing in supposedly resistant plants, which will have, finally, not survive 30 days at their new home, probably will consider a watchful eye extension of taxidermy in the floral world. The plants Meamea stabilized form of hanging boards or potted, may indeed offer a good expedient to destroy all those who up cactus.

The principle is simple and effective: real plants are selected and processed so as to replace their sap with glycerine - a new virtue to be added to the long list of qualities of this compound with a thousand uses - and freezing leaves, stems and color. By following a few precautions, you can finally be proud of your plantings, and save you watering, repotting and leaf removal. Note that the stabilization process is non-hazardous and completely biodegradable, and that these creations are expected to last several years.

Although having a soft spot for the plant tables in the range, however I'm not very comfortable with the principle, which is not without recalling that of naturalization of our animal friends. this being, this consideration is personal: I'm certainly not in full agreement with prosopopoeia who ask, "Inanimate objects, do you have a soul / Who is committed to our soul and strength to love?" ... This does not however prevent me from renting the remarkable aspect of this concept or to see in Lamartine a charming incarnation of Romanticism.

Perhaps, however, will I one day my gardener hello to my interest in things culinary. In good amateur cooking and dishes, I have a strong interest in spices and herbs of all kinds. It is obviously in the freshness that they reveal the absolute maximum flavor, and I have for some time in the idea that a mini-garden to bring my preparations a substantial gustatory appreciation, while me opening the way for accelerated learning horticulture.
Cruel dilemma of mine though: which of the herbs in pots devised respectively by Saga and Royal VKB , win my vote?

The first, while sandstone is adorable with her three Siamese bins mounted on a supply of water easily accessible, and the second is nothing less than a real miniature garden, cutting with scissors discreetly integrated into the structure made of melamine resin in the light gray circle. No doubt the decision will be hard to take ...
