Summer is almost here and that means I spend 90% of my free time at the balcony just enjoying my little imaginary yard.
Oh pansy, pansy, why you so fancy
For this summer I recommend using some long-lasting fertilizer sticks to give you carefree summertime.
I used Neudorff
Azet fertilizer sticks for blooming plants and my pansies just exploded to flowers.
All I need to add is water and they're good to go for the whole summer!
This pot has seven (7) pansies.
Amazing or what?
Also a nice feature in my pansies, they turn from purple to powdery pinkish-yellow.
So fancy.
Here are my Heucheras in this insane pot I have.
The purple one is 'Shanghai' and the yellow one is 'Marmalade'
I love heucheras.
My strawberry!
I'ts pink!
Strawberry in making
This one is called "snowflake" in Finnish.
For the english-speaking part of the world it's more familiar with the name "
Bacopa"
For some reason I'm crazy about Bacopa and its silly pastel coloured flowers that really don't match together at all.
Finally some Myosotis vulgaris my friend collected from the woods.
I'ts supposed to be a weed but I think its so pretty!
Sunshine and lollipops to everyone

I think I've found the winner of trying-to-gain-money-from-plants-online-one-way-or-another-competition.
Behold, the weed maple-seller!
Seriously?!?
You're asking two euros from the seedlings of a maple that are everywhere before someone plucks them out becase theyre useless and not-wanted?
Just to prove my point that these plants are indeed weeds and not really sellable plant items I went for a walk and counted all the money i would gain by selling these.
I stopped counting at thousand.
Because these things are literally everywhere.
Well, it's not that the seller is stupid. It's the buyer that gains that title.
Thankfully this isn't a trend in the online shopping plants- worl...
Oh fuck.

More plants to buy!
"Big and beautiful" and "well-kept" you say.
I would beg to differ but I cant see the whole damn plant from behind all your crap.
I'm guessing it's ugly.
The problem with Cycas revoluta around here is that it's small and beautiful when you buy it but as soon as it throws out couple of new leaves it looks like shit.
The price is good though.
Here's another one of those plants that defy gravity just by the power of some string.
Remove the string and receive a pile of crap.
Tie it up for it to look like a decent plant.
Fraud.

When unsure of your plant is
palmu or not, you can always call it "kukka" (flower).
If you think that these green plants, that rarely bloom, remind you of anything but a flower, you're very right.
Sadly it seems that many people don't know the difference between a leaf and a flower.
And here these people are trying to sell us their stupidity.
"Many flowers have evolved to be attractive to animals, so as to cause them to be vectors for the transfer of pollen."
"In addition to facilitating the reproduction of flowering plants, flowers have long been admired and used by humans to beautify their environment, and also as objects of romance, ritual, religion, medicine and as a source of food."
Seems legit.

Let's shop some plants that want to aim high, shall we?
This plant is so long it didnt even fit in one pic.
I can imagine how well the transport would go.
20 euros for this toothpick.
The pot contains two sticks and one stick-y plant.
Finally, we have this "palmu" that has reached the skies roof and is looking for new home with taller rooms.

Oh lordy there's more.
So you're getting fired from you job and need to get rid of your cubicle's plant.
Online you go!
First off we have this bunch of sticks that stays up defying all the laws of physics.
Then it's friend, the tired Dracaena, which I can't comment much since it's all just a shadow of the plant.
I'm pretty sure it's ugly.
Remember to take the selling pics against the light so everyone can feel the darkness filling up your soul.

Hey, there's more because of course there is.
I would say the price is right, but in my opinion you would have to give ME that two euros for taking out your trash for you.
I'm so content with selling this eleven euro flagpole I didn't even bother to rotate it.
No, don't raise your hopes, it's three euros EACH. That makes like almost an euro per leaf!
To be continued..

A "virile" plant from Kallio, Helsinki, Finland
It's not the worst, but it's certainly not the best either.
You could get so much more for that amount of money.
Now this is just somethin that makes me laugh my ass off.
I can guarantee you this plant will fall apart as soon as you try to move it from its old spot.
It will be a huge useless ugly piece of green on your floor unless you glue it to the wall.
If you're a fan of puzzles then you can waste 120 euros for this jigsaw that will leave everyone unsatisfied.
And for the last and for the definetly least we have some useless pothos.
Though not ruined with a price like the last one, this is just unnecessary load of garbage for you for 8 euros.
Just spare us from these.

Hey psst!
Wanna pay 5 euros for my overgrown piece of junk?
No?
But look at it!
Look at what junk it is.
Just 5 euros.
How about these "lucky bamboos"
"grown with love" you say.
You liar.

I found more!
This one could become decent with some extreme pruning and that pot is so old it's basically antique.
Yet I still wouldnt pay anything close to 25e for this.
A pessimist would see this pot half empty but a positive person could see that it's half full of shit.
Which brings us to it's counterpart...
This, on the other hand just begs to be become matchsticks.
Comparing with my
Ficus of the same kind...
PRUNE 'EM, PEOPLE, PRUNE 'EM.
It seems that people are fond of selling depressed Agaves that look like they don't have the energy to be alive anymore.

Today i came face-to face with an old nemesis.
And though shes giving the pot for that price too, thats hardly worth 20 euros.
I always admire plants that remind me of the beauty of phone lines. Or rat's tail.
This plant looks like it's already given up all hope in it's life.
Please just let it out of it's misery.
Until next time!
