All of this lovely sun over the past week or so has duped many a bud in the city into blossoming a fortnight early. Since our “garden” consists of an itty bitty pile of soil tossed in a corner and our household consists of one far-from-green thumb and one indoor plant enthusiast, here spring has sprung in a different way.

Late last week, we gained five new leafy, trunky, bulbous, or petal-bearing pals, bringing our total to 15 or thereabouts.

The current inventory of domestic flora is as follows:

• Tropical Monstrosity (referred to as such for excellent reasons - however surely lovely for a pretend day at the beach, piña coladas not included)
• Actually rather endearing Umbrella Tree
• Cute Little Fat House Plant in Funky Vase
• Bathroom tulips (still shy and tucked away) in sleek silver holder
• Kitchen tulips
• Vines/hanging plants (x2)
• Single white orchid (tall and lovely, behind kitchen sink)
• Three fuzzy aloe type things
• Small red and yellow leafy potted plant
• Other leafy green house plant
• Thin-leaved excited potted plant
• Mini rubber plant
• Mini wannabe Christmas tree (out-of-doors)

*Note: May not be actual scientific names.

With all the sun and all this green (minus the thumbs), it might not be May yet, but it sure feels like it.
