I bought the most daring little plant called a Pincusion Plant or Nertera Granadensi. The only plant I have ever been able to keep alive is ivy so I decided to try my partial green thumb on this little guy. He is very tempermental indeed but so, so pretty.<br \/>\nWindowsill in the studio&#8230;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/070630_3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>I spotted these two little guys outside my home.
