Create a Lily Pond in a Vase

Easy Lily Ponds

I work in a typical corporate office cube…three walls of fabric covered who-knows-what.  To liven up my space where most of my day’s hours are spent, I like to keep greenery around.  For little effort or money, you can create a Monet inspired indoor pond to keep on your desk or at home. They’re also perfect for a beautiful lily pond centerpiece.

The Ladybug–A Wanted Visitor

Print Friendly

Pretty Ladybug

In my article “Eliminating Bugs In And Around Your Home”, I talked about bugs we DON’T want around and how to get rid of them. However, there are a few that we DO want around and the Ladybug is one of them. Ladybugs are actually small beetles, and they have a huge appetite for aphids, spider mites and other small insects that feast on our delicate plants. I was taught at a young age how special they are, and we welcomed them in our garden–they are said to bring us luck.
