Real vs Fake plants in our house 🌿🪴🌿🪴QUIZ
We’ve started to add a few real plants to our house and outside! It’s miraculous the way they grow and change (or shrivel up and die 🤣)…but I also really like fake plants and how they can be so pretty and well made. So I’m going to show you 21 plants from our home and…
