Nature

Yesterday, while taking Iain's picture, he discovered my clivia. It's a houseplant that was very popular with the Victorians, but isn't so common today. We had them growing in the shade (they love shade) outside our house in California, so I bought one for a houseplant when we moved here. It has never bloomed (a shame, because the flowers are lovely - like small lilies), but it's healthy enough.


Iain was very interested.

He liked the feel of the leaves, and wanted to squish them in his paws. Obviously, I had to put a stop to that, but perhaps gardening will be a mother-son activity in the spring.

P.S.: Nice T-shirt, Patty!
