It’s getting hot in here

I’m always struggling to find homes for my houseplants away from our baseboard heaters. Imagine if a blast of dry heat actually encouraged flowers to bloom. 

They’re not live blooms, but the wallpaper from Shiyuan Design with Life has flowers printed with heat-sensitive inks that bloom when the radiator is on. Now that’s hot.

Via MocoLoco.

    Oh, now THAT is something I MUST have … but I have a central air/heat unit. I wonder if that’ll work – probably not as well.
    I love it when people find different places and ways to garden! Blooming wallpaper? Genius!!!

    Fun, eh? I thought about the central air dilemna too, Germi. You’d probably get a little garden right over the heating ducts!
