My boss has a bunch of turtles and fish and is also adding plants to their habitats. I should have him check out your blog.

Definitely! So far J is the only plant that would be able to be submerged – however I have prewrote up until J so I could add some more in as I find them! 🙂
It’s been years since I’ve had tropical fish or a terrarium. In the 1970’s and 80’s seems like they were all the rage.

Never too late to get another one 🙂 Although fish tanks are considerably more time consuming and expensive than terrariums 🙂 I am loving the gorgeous architecture on your blog!
i love plants but i kill them. my mom has a green thumb that doesn’t stop. she loves her angel wing begonia that was a cutting from a friend.
plants are gorgeous. great post.
I’ve been having fun with succulents as my office had a makeover courtesy of an interior design class (the benefits of being at a university). I don’t have any windows in my office so it is nice to have a little bit of the outdoors inside. Donna from Girl Who Reads

Oh I love tiny begonias! I have two different types- one blooms white, the other pink.
Awesome little plants that do great under high light.
