Do You Have Window Boxes on All Floors?
Homeowners (and renters as well) tend to only install window boxes on the first floor of their houses. But I love the way the boxes of geraniums on this four-story white building look. On second thought, they're almost too healthy looking; they may be fake, and perhaps it wouldn't work on a more traditional house.
Etsy Finds: Orchid Oasis
Orchids are some of my favorite flowers and make beautiful houseplants.

From orchid pillows and paintings to orchids made from felt and recycled materials, check out my slideshow to see orchids in every form.

Cool Idea: Give Your Houseplants a Vacation
I have been following David Horvitz's blog for a few months or so. For all of 2009 (not necessarily every day, but frequently), he sends out small texts of simple instructional ideas through his mailing list, and then posts screenshots of them on his blog. Many of his instructions involve mailing things to far-off addresses, like "Take a photo of your head in the freezer and mail it to a museum in Greenland that has no current exhibition."

Do You Keep Potted Plants on Your Windowsill?
From a plant's perspective, a sunny window is an ideal place to live. But setting a few potted plants on your windowsill can also liven up an otherwise dull surface. Do you keep potted plants on your windowsill?Photo by Todd Selby

Do You Have Any Cacti at Home?
Cacti may be prickly plants, but when grown in numbers, they have a dynamic, architectural quality that creates a miniature ornamental landscape. For those of you with black thumbs, they make great indoor houseplants, as they require little watering. Do you own any?
Roundup: Modern Planters
Your standard terra cotta planters are classics that will never go out of style. But for those of us who live in contemporary homes, a modern planter may be more fitting. So, I thought I'd round up a few planters that will assimilate well with your streamlined architecture.
