Everyone likes flowers right? Well not really, no. At least not for me. It’s not that I hate real flowers and prefer false ones. No, I just never payed much attention to flowers or plants to decorate your house or garden or both.

Having said this, it’s not that I hate flowers, I just never felt the need to fill the house with them. I can appreciate their beauty, I like to see them growing and flourishing and the fresh smell they bring to your home but the truth is, I forget about them. I lose my interest in them too fast and, if it weren’t for my mum, they would probably be all dead in less than a week.

But why am I writing this? Well, because I decided to change my relationship regarding flowers. I decided to give them a chance. I only got this idea because, some weeks ago, we went to a plant nursery (I think that’s how it’s called, but if it has other name it’s basically a place where you go and find the most variety of plants, trees and flowers to buy).

First, I think those places are underrated and there should be more of them out there. Once you walk in, you immediately notice a fresher air around you. All the different subtle fragrances mixed together that, at least for me, made me want to stay there for the rest of the afternoon. I also loved walking around the different corridors and observe the different varieties of flowers and small plants (and even trees I must admit) which eventually made me choose one to take home. Yes, I suddenly was interested in flowers and decided that I would start to look more into acquiring flowers or at least, taking care of the ones I already have at home.
