[ Lost in the Landscape ]

ooh, scary!

In keep­ing with my dark pur­ple and black themes of some recent posts (like this one), here are a cou­ple pic­tures Jenny shared with me of some of her plants. This first one is a bromeliad with incred­i­bly striped, almost rep­til­ian leaves. The pump­kin pot is a fun touch for the our cur­rent season.

I’m glad it’s a plant, because if I encoun­tered an ani­mal that looked like this I might start walk­ing the oppo­site direc­tion. Real fast.

This one, Bego­nia Black Fang, is a lit­tle cud­dlier, even lit­er­ally fuzzy. Dark-colored plants can get lost in the land­scap­ing if you’re not care­ful, but com­bined with other inter­est­ing plants, like here, they can be great up-close specimens.

Thanks for shar­ing your pic­tures, Jenny!
