After the longest Sunday of the year, summer is finally here! Most of my cacti woke up after long months of hibernation and are currently growing new ears/leaves/paddles. This one just grew a tiny little arm the other day which made me so happy because this is what he looked like a year ago….
Today will be a hot day in France, so let's start with some refreshing #plantcolorpop for June's edition of Urban Jungle Bloggers! While the walls in our home are all white, we do have some colorful doors (we have more than 30 doors in our home) and my favorite is still our submarine yellow door. I turned it into #plantsonpink just because I can and because I love Photoshop. While I was there, I couldn't help trying some other colors too:
The doors of the office spaces downstairs are blue, so there I had my second option. This cactus (he doesn't have a name!) is by far not my most photogenic one, as he is a little glossy and has weird veins and nearly any spines, but well… he says hi:
A little peek behind the scenes of my #plantcolorpop cactus:
What do you think? Yellow? Blue? Pink? Personally I think white is not too bad either 😉
Ciaoooo have a great summer and see you for a new Urban Jungle Bloggers edition on September 10th!

It's really nice to see you having fun with this Judith :-) so did I watching your colours and special effects.
I like all colours and your cactus unusual specimen is quirky+cute, impossible to resist.
This was a really nice project to do before summer holidays, isn't?
Have a great one by the way and see you afterword :-)

Dankjewel Stefania! It sure is a nice way to start this long & hot summer (or at least I hope it will be long and hot hihi)! So nice to see that everyone seemed to have fun with the topic, really liked your palm trees <3 Have a great weekend, Stefania!

Thank you Julia for the kind words! I love how everyone seems to have fun with the colors and plants :) Enjoy your weekend!
Woah!!!!! LOVE!!!!
What a great teaser with the first image… and then…POP!!! Love the Gif:-))
Well done with your plant! I dont't know sometimes I feel like I'm going 1 step forward and 2 backwards with my plants..
It's hot here too:-))
Loved this month's theme.
Happy UJB break – you guys deserve it!! xx
Thank you Tina! I knew you would enjoy my little gif ;) Plants really learn us to be patient, sometimes they seem to die and behave strangely and then completely out of the blue they show new signs of life. I really like the surprise of that. I'm not sure if we're really going to have a break, we'll continue to blog, that's for sure. It's been some busy but fun months, so I'm already looking forward to UJB Season III ;) Have a great summer… but first a happy weekend, Tina! xx
Oh the pink backdrop is my favourite. Pink and cactus aren't meant to be together.. So happy that he's feeling much better now. Enjoy your summer UJB break Judith. x
Thanks Mel! Plants on Pink is such a hot thing right now, right? Good luck with the home-hunting… but first a happy relaxing weekend (and a no-tech Sunday?)! bises!

Hahaha merci Mulot ! Et oui, fêtons l'été dignement ;) Passes un très bon weekend, profites-en bien !
Ohhh, I love all colours and plants!! And I need a yellow door ?
I think you do indeed need a yellow door now! Everyone does ;) Have a great weekend, Jans (although I'm not sure if that's your real name… are you Jan's sister, or is that just the name of your blog?)
I am Jans Sister an my name is Kerstin (sorry, I forgot) :-)
Nice to meet you Kerstin :)

Oh yes, he really is waving at you, Julia! And he also wishes you a great weekend! I wish I would have enough paint to paint all my doors in different colors, like true rainbow doors ;) Liebe Gruesse aus Frankreich!
