Watching your baby grow or a seedling grow gives you the same satisfaction as you enjoy the pleasure of nurturing something that is totally dependent on you. If you have a greenthumb but are hard pressed for time and space, you would love the concept of growing a single plant in this beautiful miniature greenhouse called Gro.

Gro, designed by Caroline Wetterling comes in the shape of a tiny cocoon and is made of 1.5 mm thick glass. A tiny opening allows proper air circulation. All you have to do is add a few drops of water every day and watch the seedling sprout into a beautiful plant. Have a couple of these miniature pods and you could transform your abode into beautiful mobile landscape. I call it mobile because you could just move them around as and when you feel the need for a change.

LA based architect’s Fung + Blatt Lawnchair will soon hit the market. The lawnchair in reality is a lawn in shape of a chair upholstered with rolled sod, a built-in “moisturizing” system that helps irrigate while avoiding run off. Weighing 25lbs, it’s not too heavy and two persons can easily move it.

I’m eagerly waiting for this conceptual lawnchair and wish to purchase it by winters so that basking in the sun could be more fun. If you are afraid of grass stains then I’m sorry to say, this won’t be your choice.

What do you call flowers with rainbow colours? Happy flowers, of course! They are so called because that’s the feeling you get when you see them.

Peter van de Werken of River Flowers, a Netherlands Company, has perfected a unique technique for changing each petal of a single rose to a rainbow of colours. When a white flower is put on water with natural pigments, the stem absorbs this water in a natural way and changes the color of the flower. This technique is common, but what is unique about this every single petal is allowed to get its own colour and that’s how a single flower gets its rainbow colour and what’s more you can get it customized to match your wedding dress or your home decor.

The vase life of these roses is between 11 to 16 days. A single stem costs $6. Don’t wait for an occassion to cheer your loved ones with these flowers. Every day is a celebration with HAPPY FLOWERS!
