Plectranthus Scutellarioides
In my opinion even the most perfect pictures look better edited. I try to avoid posting raw pictures, because I like things to be perfect (or at least as good as possible). However, this time I decided to post these pictures just the way they are. No edit, no filter, no nothing. Because nature is f*cking amazing, isn’t it?

Nerium Oleander
Nerium oleander is the first plant I ever owned. I was 7 years old when one of my classmates brought a small one to my birthday party as a present. I never had a plant before so it was a big deal. I can still remember how much I tried to keep it alive. I felt that it is a huge responsibility, such an “adult thing”. Of course I failed and killed the plant pretty soon, if you were wondering. 🤠I still can’t figure out how exactly, because this plant is very tolerant for both drought and inundation. So… Idk. Anyways I’ve loved this plant ever since and I am planning to get 2 for our balcony next summer. 🤍

Impatiens Glandulifera
So I’ve found my favorite flower yesterday morning while Erno was throwing out the trash from the van. 🤠He stopped, as usual, after camping, near the first dumpster on the road, and I saw these flowers on the other side of it. I couldn’t believe how gorgeous they are. Tall (lot taller then me), pink, pretty exotic looking… Just WOW!
