Regular readers know that I have a favorite place to look for bargains...our downstairs trash area! Our building has trash chutes on every floor and they feed into a separate room, but for boxes and other things that people can't put in the chute, there is an area (indoor) near the loading dock where people can put the things they don't want. I've found quite a few cool items over the last few years.
Saw these two little miniature roses that were in a window box sort of thing that was broken. There were also some pots sitting around that someone threw away. I couldn't let the roses go in the trash so I gently dug them up and grabbed a container...
I brought them upstairs, got my potting soil and planted them side by side in a large container.
I watered them down and they are happy! We put them outside on sunny days to recharge. One even has a bud on it, hope it blooms so we can "discover" what color at least one of them is, ha.
Second chance at life for them and flowers for us! Just in time for Valentine's Day!
It's a win/win!
Can I just say in this awful time of hate and discord that your blog gives me little hits happiness. I enjoy seeing how you pamper Mr. Hobart, the cooking, the recycling, and all the little bits you share. It’s a kind and nurturing vibe-thank you.
ReplyDeleteOH; how lucky you are to get some wonderful treasures.
ReplyDeleteTo me; that looks like it might be a yellow rose bud. I love yellow roses, as well as their meaning.
'Yellow rose is a sign that an angel is around you, and showering you with love, joy, and happiness.'
Enjoy your day and have a Fantastic weekend.
What a wonderful find. Once, back when I actively dumpster dived, I found about a dozen poinsettia plants. The roses are so much better.
ReplyDeleteIt was kind and kindhearted of you to rescue it. A friend gave me a miniature rose, just a grocery store find, four years ago. It is a sturdy little thing and still flourishing. It comes in for the winter and apart from watering it gets little care.
