Chocolate mint herbs in mugs

Here are some chocolate mint herbs that I potted into plastic cups with some ventilation holes punctured to the bottom of the cup. I placed potted plastic cups into the coffee mugs that were bought from the op shop. I selected mint green and black coloured themed mugs to style. Potted chocolate mint herbs in mugs will make nice gifts for relatives and friends.

This pot of chocolate mint herbs were grown by stem cuttings. Plant became voluminous as leaves grew larger and lushes. The stems grew longer. I placed a wire frame at the back of the pot to clip stems of plant onto the stake. This made the plant look decorative.

Yellow Teapot

Earlier this week I bought a cute, yellow teapot from an op-shop. Teapot had bamboo handle, and hand painted details. I placed the teapot on the edge of a window seal.

This is the second teapot added to my teapot collection. The mint plant within the teapot was placed within a small pot before transferring the pot into the teapot.

I am hooked on collecting quirky teapots because the teapots are so amusing to look at especially when plants are contained within the teapots.
