Going bananas

It just so happens that in addition to furniture I also come across discarded plants from time to time.
Sometimes they are in a planter, sometimes just in their own little dirt pile in a plastic bag - hoping to be rescued.
Last month I came across this monstrous dwarf banana plant, which I suspect is originally from the scandi-superstore.


 It was large, the photo doesn't really do it justice, but luckily the fronds are flexible and it made it to my balcony without shredding the leaves up too much.  Another friend had called dibs on it as soon as they saw the photo, so a month later the discarded banana found a new home.
First it had to survive a rather undignified car ride.....





















But now it's found a happy sunny corner with lots of room to spread out. 




















plants and books and plants and books...




















As a bonus it sits on top of another freestyle find - a glass and metal coffee table.
Happy freestyling!
