Steal Versus Ideal

I am totally in love with US store terrain - the products and styling are so beautiful. Is is also very handy as, as far as I know, they don't ship to the UK so I can browse without the temptation of ever spending any money.

For valentines day they were promoting their Jasmine Hoop (below) costing $58. It is beautifully potted in a French pressed metal pot with lovely moss at the base.


On a recent trip to Homebase I saw a similar (admittedly not quite as impressive) Jasmine Hoop for a much more purse-friendly price of £2.99 and I potted it in an old small metal pot from Ikea. It has just started to flower today...

Steal - £2.99!!
    
I'm very pleased to have been a little thrifty - the only problem is I didn't realise how smelly they are when they flower so it has now been demoted to the conservatory
