Strawberry Planter

I bought a crochet strawberry bag a few back in Northern Thailand for the grand total of 40p and decided I would utilise it as a planter (Its a wee bit small for me to fit my phone you see).

The bag and succulent plant

I was in town this morning and came across this little Succulent plant; I was drawn to its haywire growth and decided that it would look perfect in my little crochet bag.

I had to fold over the bag straps as it would be lopsided when the plant was hung, so I have used a sneaky safety pin to attach the straps to the other side. 

I am so happy with my new little planter, it is in a temporary residence at the moment, hanging on my windows handle. There is a lack of hanging places in my room which saddens me. I am always on the look-out for cute plant receptacles so there may be more of these posts!

The Queen Sirikit Botanical Gardens, Chiang Mai

I was holiday in the North of Thailand, Chiang Mai and I decided to visit the "Queen Sirikit Botanical Gardens"! This place is absolutely HUGE and you will need a car or some form of transport to get around all of it without sweating. I mainly visited the glasshouse complex, consisting of rain forest and desert plants, it was a really awesome day. Worth the small entry fee and the heat, so if you visit wear something cool! If you are in the area don't hesitate to call by because it is a great day out and a good way to escape the chaos of the city centre.

As an avid plant person myself,  I found this to be a great experience. Some glasshouses had interesting layouts; such as stepping stones, a treetop walk (present in the rain forest glasshouse) and little bridges which added to the venture.
