Green Thumbalina

On Sunday it was gorgious and sunny outside, so I ventured ouside of my apartment and took a trip with Rachel *pictured below* to Home Depot.
I felt that I desperately needed some life in my apartment. It's been snowy, icey, and grey outside for about a month. Not being able to be outdoors and being cooped up inside all the time and not being able to see the grass started to become pretty depressing so I got some plants.
They really brought some life into the apartment. I bought a lot of primroses in different colors: orange and red with yellow in the middle, some cacti, and some "folliage" (sp?) as well as simple pots to put them in. Makes a huge difference. And it's even becoming warmer outside. Very nice changes! These plants have also sparked an old interest of mine: Botany (a topic Lady G and I loved studying in high school).

Here are some links to some interesting plant sites: http://plants.usda.gov/
