You may remember that several months ago I had a piece of furniture custom-made at a workshop. I liked the finished product, so I went back and had them make a long, low table on which I could put houseplants in front of the living room window.
It only took them a little over a week to build the table, and last Sunday they delivered it. Once again, I was pleased with their work.
My three houseplants are now sitting on the table. From left to right they are: my repotted poinsettia from last Christmas, my newly purchased aphelandra or zebra plant, and my orchid which is surviving. They are all potted in a very Mexican style of pottery known as Talavera ware.
On the bottom shelf I put some pieces of glassware that the former owners had left in the apartment.
Earlier this spring I showed you a photo of my poinsettia which I had cut down to just some bare branches. The plant has sprouted lots of new foliage. We will see if I can get it to blossom next Christmas.
