This weekend gave me joy of some 'Me Time'. I spent lot of time in my small terrace garden cutting, dead heading, pruning, pinching and re-potting followed by painting some tiny pots. These tiny pots are up-cycled plastic containers :)
I potted the plants in a manner that the most striking color of a tiny pot will going to match with flowers of the plant. Pink one is having pink Impatiens sapling. These tiny beauties are spreading happiness in my living room.
