NASA says...


New Houseplant
Originally uploaded by Madeline & Ryosuke

house plants clean indoor air. Since only two of the thirteen windows in our current apartment open to let in fresh air I've been feeling the need for some freshness in the rooms. I think houseplants are going to help. But beware, not all plants are safe for animals. You guys have heard that poinsettias are poisonous for cats, right? Airplane plants are safe I think this chicken gizzard in the pic is too. Do you guys have plants inside?

P.S. I didn't spend a lot of money on this...bought a one dollar plant at the farmers market and got plant clippings that would self-propagate from family and collected pots from here and there.

yes, you have to be very careful about having lilies in your home! they can give cats kidney failure! i only found out from a corkboard posting at the vet, i never knew!

i love to have a few strands of tropical vines (name?) in water in vases around the house, something i learned from h belle's family. they used to have such beautiful, hand-painted bottles in their bathroom and in other parts of the house filled with plants.

i have lots of plants in my office, too. one of them is out of control!! some of its strands are probably 6 feet long!
