Gardens of Babylon

I have been trying my hand at house plants since we moved to London mostly to liven up the flat on gloomy London days and add some green to our lives. The first experiment we cacti which I bought from Ikea and were a total success they are thriving and I get to enjoy then when washing the dishes (being right next to the sink is also a helpful reminder to water them haha)
The bigger one even flowered..a true sign that it loves me :)
So now with the success of the cacti we have moved on to hanging baskets on our balcony. I purchased the baskets online and went and picked out flowers and planted them all myself so no short cuts.... we will see if they last :) they look good at the moment thought
...maybe orchids next :)
