terrariums

For some reason this picture has got me thinking about Terrariums and I've decided that I want one.  Not exactly sure where it's going to go in our small apartment, but Matthias seems to haven taken over the role of Chief Balcony Gardener, and I figure maybe a Terrarium could be a little bit of dirt to call my own.  Actually, I'm quite happy that he's Chief Gardener because I have a nasty habit of neglecting plants and tend to kill them with a vicious cycle of under and then over watering.  But a terrarium would water itself and then I could just admire the wonderfulness of the green, little microsystem.  And if it was a pretty shape like the Pear Terrariums below, well, that'd just be grand.
