Two Little Dickey Birds...

 

Two years ago, on my birthday, Steph, Gaz and the boys sent me a corn plant from Bloom and Wild. It has thrived in the lounge, and doubled in size. I may have to repot it soon. 
It has glossy green leaves, but was looking a bit uninteresting. I decorated the compost with the flowers and cross from Rosie's 2025 Easter garden...

Then when I was in the garage recently, I found something unexpected in ,y bag of silk flowers.  Two cute little orange birds with clips on their undersides. I have popped them onto the corn plant. I think they are fun - I shall wait to see if Jess and Rosie notice them when they next visit.

  1. Your corn plant is doing well and the birds look cute perched on the leaves. :)

  2. I added some cake toppers to my Ficus pot as it was a bit boring. We have a Dracaena, thanks for the ID, and it is NOT happy at the moment, now I know, because it needs to be repotted!

  3. It’s wonderful to see the sun shining on the little birds. The girls will notice them I’m sure. Catriona

  4. Well I have learned something new today. I never knew a Dracaena was called a Corn Plant. Love the birdies perched in it!

  5. It's amazing what a difference the addition of those two little birds make to the look of the plant. What an excellent idea! JanF

  6. Your plant is thriving and the little birds make it look interesting. Do you think the girls will want to take the birds home (if they spot them). Xx

  8. I had to look up this plant, and now I'm wondering, have you ever had any fragrant flowers on yours? The birds look cute and I'm sure the girls will notice them right away.

  10. Your corn plant is looking very healthy and the two little birds are perfect to sit on the branches. I wonder how long it will take the girls to notice. Probably not long. ๐Ÿ˜Š
