    Everyone appreciate plants and the wilderness natural environment but nobody appreciate God who created all this wonderful things for us. People are too ''proud' to acknowledge it and are simply self centred and unappreciated . God created all this beauty in abundance and GOd is creative, meaning he created the environment to be all different , different insects, plants , trees, and even humans we are and the environment everything is unique . When God finished creating the Earth and the Universe, he said '' it is good'' ,!!! and should say to God '' good it is '' !! and thank you.

    I have an issue buying colorful pots. I started out on buying white and soon gave into different colors. My problem is I love pots as much as i do plants. Ugg , I may need to reconsider my weakness to pots. In my defense they are mostly all shades of the same colors, bluish grey.
