Yukka
2nd February 2012
I’ve been having a bit of thing for succulents and cactus recently, and although a Yukka is neither (!) it reminded of this photo I took a couple of years ago. Pretty.

Dear Santa,
Please can I have one for Christmas?

Biome
30th November 2011
Developed by designer Samuel Wilkinson, Biome is a terrarium that contains an app capable of managing water, light, nutrient levels all easily controlled by your iPad.
Although it’s still only a prototype, isn’t it a beautiful way of merging technology with nature?

This Egg Bird Feeder by J Schatz is sure to brighten any Monday morning! The Hummingbird Feeders and Bird Houses are just as beautiful too.

Hotel Para Plantas
28th July 2011
From the 1st July to the 31st August, residents of Madrid going on holiday can rest easy that their plants are being well cared for, by checking them into Hotel Para Plantas at the Isla Azul Shopping Center.
The brainchild of experiential marketing agency Ogilvy Action, plant owners can drop off their leafy friends for a free full-board and have them looked after by a team of professional botanists. All “guests” are given special treatment to suit their needs, there are security cameras to make sure your plants aren’t neglected and audio downloads available to stimulate growth and scare off pests!
Functionally the campaign aims to drive more customers to the shopping center with positive PR and a chance for shoppers to win €500 when they register their details. Very clever.
I wish we had a plant hotel in Cape Town.
