Green on St. Patty's

 And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. -Genesis 1: 11-12

I love plants. The first plant I ever owned was a bamboo plant. I got it right before going away to college. These things are almost impossible to kill. Hence, perfect for a college student living in a dorm room.

I loved my bamboo so much I got another one when I cam home from college.

New Years Gift from James

James gave me this plant on New Years to celebrate our new life together as a married couple. It is supposed to flower at some point but hasn't yet. Hopefully we can keep it alive!

Last but not least, is our beautiful Palm plant. This is the first plant James and I bought together and our newest addition to the collection. James loves it because it reminds him of Florida. The lady at the store said it should do well with the lighting in our apartment. I hope she's right! 

God is a creative God and his creativity is definitely evident in the world of plants. I sometimes try to imagine what it would have been like in the Garden of Eden. If I could go anywhere in the world, (past, present, or future), I think I would choose to go to the Garden of Eden. That would be lovely.
