apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Flickr Finds: Patio-Free Flower Garden

6-15-09-paris-flowers.jpg

These days we've been combing the internet for examples of people who have used apartment patios to create outdoor living spaces and gardens. But this picture reminds us that not even a patio is needed to cultivate a bright spot of colorful flora.

 
 

It's no small thing to be able to come home and identify your window by the beautiful blooms bursting from it, not to mention the favor done for the neighborhood.

I'd guess red geraniums.
Here are some pink hanging geraniums:
