I have a terrace where I can plant flowers in pots, and I wanted to start small. I went to the store today to pick something I like and got completely overwhelmed.

First of all, I didn’t expect it to be so expensive. And then I started wondering if anything would even survive on my super sunny, windy balcony with no shade at all.
The last thing I wanted was to spend a hundred euros on plants that wouldn’t make it.

So I ended up just taking photos of some flowers and leaving empty-handed.
But at least I got to meet this adorable duo at the pet corner.

Expensive?? Do they really cost a lot?

We have recently bought 54 petunia plants (3-5 of them go in one flower pot) for ~$18, I thought it was very cheap!

I think petunias would love your super sunny balcony cause we found out they don't like the shade at all 😅

A large pot of hydrangeas was around €30 some varieties were discounted to €15.
I’m also thinking about petunias or geraniums, but I’d need more of them, so it’d probably cost about the same in the end.
Mostly, I just want something that will survive for that kind of money 😅
