Madame Z's Garden

Look up, see that balcony there? Yes that one with the all the plants in the windows. Thats our next secret garden. This one comes with a resident kitty, we call her Madame. As in Madame Z.
Here she is waiting for her closeup.
A very large banana with graceful leaves blows in the breeze.
Madame is waiting for her breakfast. She would rather eat, than watch me take photos.
A mix of sun and shade loving plants grow here.

Found washed up on the beach, this piece of Coral makes a nice accent.

A antique gate is propped up against the wall.

The streptocarpus and the maidenhair ferns love the shady spots.

It's a beautiful lush extension of the apartment. Full of treasures and exciting things for Madame Z to explore.

  2. I love echeverias, but I kill them. I haven't been able to find the right amount of sun for them. Either they stretch out or burn. They might not be well suited to my location, which bakes in the afternoon sun.
