Currently the most prominent detail from one of my fern tables - a deeply purple Hepatica nobilis. #hepaticanobilis #ferntable #myurbanjungleFor anyone accusing me of having an addiction problem... well, they aren’t wrong. #helleboremadness #hellebores #boxofcrayons #allthecolors #lovethemall #springfever #winterflowers #winterbloomsHave been captivated by these marvelous, colorful mushroom at the Farmers Market - caringly grown by @mindfulmushrooms #stilllife anyone?
