Originally marshland in between royal residences, it was drained and landscaped to host exotic animals and plants by orders of James I. Green Park is the smallest of the Royal Parks in London, with … Continue reading My favourite parks 🌳☀️🌳

Ho cominciato a collezionare succulente solo qualche mese fa, dopo aver realizzato che i miei prolungati periodi di assenza da Londra non mi permettevano di mantenere in vita delle piante nel mio appartamento. Le uniche piante che erano riuscite a sopravvivere, anzi a rigoglire, senza cure ae senza annaffiamenti erano le succulente. Ormai ho in casa una bella collezione di oltre 30 piantine di varie … Continue reading Le mie succulente preferite 🌱🌵🌱

For months now I have been developing my personal collection of succulents, stemming from the realisation that these are the only plants that can survive my prolonged periods of absence from home. Because these are plants whose natural habitat is the desert, they actually thrive without water and … Continue reading Succulent show ❤️🌵❤️

Green Park is the smallest of the Royal Parks in London, with 19 hectares of land between Buckingham Palace and Piccadilly. It is the Royal Park with less landscaping and planting, as it features just mature trees and some naturalised narcissus. It is a nice connecting area between the busy streets around Piccadilly and the other two nearby Royal Parks, St James’s Park and Hyde … Continue reading Green Park, London 🌳💂🏼♂️🌳
This is an update on the growth of my succulent collection that I have been nurturing since I got back from Berlin a couple of months ago. By now I have a lovely collection of 20 odd little plants plus some experiments with propagation from the original ones. I love looking at in their tender early growth. These new ones are developing their own small … Continue reading My favourite succulents 🌱🌵🌱
