Mmm…Flavour for Ailsa. I give you my mango and strawberry cheesecake!
My home
Travel theme: Seeds
I love those autumn capsules and seeds in my garden – colour and form are both elegant and sophisticated.

My grandmother could mend any damaged or wanting tree or bush in her large garden. Anything touched by her loving hands would live and flower again.
This may be a simple pelargonia, but a living heritage from my beloved grandmother. She treasured her flowers very much, and used to get cuttings from old friends and relatives. I inherited all grandmother’s pelargonias, about 15 plants, and I am proud to have preserved them for 30 years now. This particular white one was her favourite – White Mårbacka. I have also got a powerful red one and from the start I also had an orange variety. Sadly, I have lost that orange one – I hope she forgives me…
Mormors vita Mårbacka
She had these plants in all her windows, and I learned, already as a little child, how to prune them and plant cuttings. My guess is that these flowers date back at least 60-70 years, or more. A living remembrance of my grandmother, Signe. I talk to them and think of her.

They were fixing our roof…and I looked up at one of the guys – who looked down on me…

This candle decided to venture outside its cage… some surprise in the morning sun.
WPC: Repurpose
Repurpose – a good thing to do! My daughter´s remake of an old Encyclopaedia Britannica.
She knows my love for books and would never dream of throwing away any kind of book.

What Is Going On Indoors?
Outdoors everything is heavily frozen – beautiful, but my hands and feet are complaining. So, what is happening in my flower rooms now? If you, like me, love flowers, let us go and see! Click to read their names and to enlarge.
Easter Cactus – in flower now, very intense
Tillandsia
Hoya linearis – Himalaya
Hoya retusa – India
Begonia Rex
Geranium of 2016 – Caliente Pink
Some of the orchids are always in flower – especially the Phalaenopsis’.
But, right now most of them are over, leaving the scene to some other beauties.
I have many phalaenopsis’ in different colours – this one is abundant right now.
This brown and yellow orchid is the same as the one in the header. A fragrant Cambria.
A 50 centimetre high, impressive Brassia – resembling my old Brassia Rex –
– although this one is not as much ”spidery”as the Rex.
Lastly, a rose – not one of my own potplants. But still – elegantly living its short life here in my rooms.
Travel theme: Dark
For Ailsa – Dark. As a child I was afraid of the dark. I read many books and had a vivid imagination. Today I can still be afraid sometimes…
In the header, a beautifully lit sky on my own doorstep an early morning.
The darkest country I have ever visited was Tibet. But high above Lhasa there is a soaring, shining light – the Potala Palace.
