{HISTORY}

Move over all you verdant shades of green green green houseplants. There's a whole colorful world of gardening joy just waiting to bloom, crawl and climb all over the inside of your space! With the ability to create just as much dynamic interest, visual stimulation, and gardening joy equal to any outdoor paradise, this book is here to bring some wild wonder into your home.

This Pocket Encyclopedia of Indoor Plants was first published in Copenhagen in 1969 by Danish municipal gardener Age Nicolaisen. Based on Europe's long-cultivated talent for creating gorgeous indoor gardens, this book focuses solely on growing a wide variety of flowering potted plants indoors year-round. 

In 1970, an American edition was published. The information was altered to suit the majority of U.S. homes that boasted indoor central heating - a  situation that presented a different set of challenges when it came to growing plants in a warmer drier environment than that of their European counterparts. 

In his guide, Age is candid about what works. Forget the lemons and the oranges and the grapefruit, grow a Chinese Kumquat on your windowsill instead. They'll provide year-round flowers and fruit and require less care than their citrus counterparts. If you have a sunny sill that gets too much sun and bakes the room each day add a potted passion flower plant in front of the window and watch it climb to sunshade heights all the while sporting beautiful purply-blue blooms. Looking for a plant that will flower in low light for eight months out of the year with frilly flowers and a bush-like appearance? Try a Brazilian Brunfelsia Calycina which blooms from February-September, at the least and year-round at the most. Throughout this book, Age offers all sorts of situations and solutions. 

No aspect of plant care is left uncovered. Age also explains the ideal growing conditions, light requirements, room temperature highs and lows, and nutrition needs for the soil of each potted plant. Special notes on trimming, propogating and caring for plants year-round are also detailed along with the possibilities of which ones can be moved around between indoors and out depending on the season. 

Beautifully illustrated by two award-winning Danish artists, Palle Bregnhoi (1933-2016) and Otto Frello (1924-2015), this book is overflowing with flowers on every page. One of the really great things about this guide in particular is that it not only shows the true colors of each plant and flower but also the ideal shape of what the plant should look like in its pot. If you were looking for something tall and skinny or lush and round or petite and flat, you'll be able to find exactly what you need just by perusing the illustrations. So helpful!

Levi Sun Surf Type 3 Denim Trucker Jacket - Med Wash
Special Size Type: Standard, Size: Medium, Color: (New) Sun Surf, Special Size Type: Standard, Size: Medium, Color: (New) Sun Surf
Levi Type 3 Trucker jackets are the best you can buy. Every one should own a couple of these. I have every color of the Premium versions, that I bought straight from Levi. I've been wanting to try this Sun Surf type 3 from Amazon for a while now. I bought this one to wear over my hoodies on the cooler days and nights, because of its wide body fit. It's not as slim as the Premiums, but it's just as official. It's super soft and lightweight. The fit and appearance is on point. It looks just like the pictures. Love it! I might get a dark wash as well. Amazon + Levi for the win again!

A beautiful HIGHLY fashionable jean jacket! Well packed at a great price!
Size: Large, Color: Acid Blue - Ripped
Awesome jean jacket (that acid washed look which is what I enjoy going for). It fits me really nicely (snug to say the least). It's not a loose fitting jacket, but I believe that's the currently style for jean jackets. I like that tigher fitting jacket where you can wear a longer t-shirt underneath (like an oversized t-shirt would look really nice with this jacket, or a tie dye type t-shirt). Quality? 10 out of 10! It's thick, it's well-made and came very nicely packed. :)

Nicely made.
Size: X-Large, Color: Indigo
This is a nicely made jacket. Several people have commented on how they like the coloration. My only complaint is that it is a bit smaller than advertised. I normally wear XL jackets and shirts, however, this jacket fits very tight. I would recommend getting one size larger than what you normally wear.
