Swedish Plant Names

Today, we went to Ikea again. It's part of our plan to help them recover from the recession. We go there, they don't have everything we want, so we go back a week later for the things we couldn't get the first time and by that time we have a whole new list of things to buy.

We bought shelves and some plants, which we named on the way home. We got a big parlour palm for the corner of the living room. I thought he seemed like a Barry as he is short, bushy and non-threatening. We got a crazy little pot plant who I will get a photo of when we have proper internet and not this dongle thing with a download limit, he seems like a young, quirky artist so he is called Francois. And the reddish orange gerbera who sits near the lightswitch and is a bit reserved but quite pretty is Helen.
