Update on 'Whitney' inflo.

Phalaenopsis orchid will bloom again soon!

When this blooms, it's so exciting!

Birdnest fern very happy after being repotted about 2 months ago. Asplenium nidus

Forming 7-8 new leaves.

I love this pot so much!

Callisia forming an inflo.

Kalanchoe marnieriana. Pretty petals protruding.

Tiffany nice to see the succulents outside.

Dipladenia from today. rosemary & citrus are blooming! they'll be next :)

Magnificent!! My plants are all back inside, expecting a run of colder nights again. I forgot one pot in all the craziness this weekend, I am so bummed. I will know in a few days what the damages are.

As far as I can tell, none of the plants in the forgot-pot were harmed. It may be too soon to know but so far, so good. A K. blossfeldiana bloom has opened, so if this plant is mortally wounded, it's not apparent yet.

Billbergia 'Foster's Striate'. I almost missed these blooms, out in greenhouse.

Kalanchoe season is getting in to full swing!

A little Aloe bellatula about to bloom.

Tiffinay, long time no see! You never cease to amaze me with your great plants! Hope all is well and it look like your plants sure are. Did you have to bring them all in this year? I hear it's been brutal down there too(

How come you don't show a few of your plants at the Cactus forums? Many would a appreciate them there for sure! Please post a couple for me) The very bottom pic, the one right above my post looks like an Octopus! Scary.

Karen, your plants are just grown so well. Love seeing them.

Hithere, Mike! So good to hear from you! TY for your kind comments. I agree about the Aloe looking like an octopus! LOL!

Yes, I didn't see my plants for about 12 days, ensconced in greenhouse, where there is no room for me to even step inside! LOL! This afternoon I need to put them back in. Prediction is for nights in the 20's again starting tomorrow after the predicted rain, for about a week. I guess the bill for the past few mild winters came due this year. Ugh!

Update on K. gastonis-bonnieri buds/blooms.

Some crammed-into-greenhouse pics. Expecting cold nights again for the foreseeable future. (Insert severe frown!)

Pineapple with Kal stems.

K. x houghtonii

Begonias, false Aralia.

New inflorescence growth on...

rule-breaking Orchid planted with rhizomatous Begonia, some Rhipsalis, Coleus. Aside from me letting it get too dry, everything is growing nicely.

Tiffany..I'm just speechless after I look at your Gorgeous plants & planters...You are so clever..I Love mixed pots too. I under plant a lot, but nothing as beautiful as yours..you kill me with your plants, never stop posting pics.

Dave...the last pic in 1st post, the window faces which direction?TYIA.

TYVM for the extremely kind comments!! :+)

Debra.

The window in the last photo in my first set (with the two Peace Lily’s) faces North.

All other windows in my photos face south.

Thank you Dave

A few new plants...

Hoya bilobata

Waffle plant 'Snow White' (Hemigraphis). Trying this again. The last one died of thirst during a lapse of memory.

Euphorbia milii

Callisia elegans.

Succulent babies started from individual leaves last summer.

Blooms starting on cuttings potted a couple months ago.

I swear, wax Begonias like winter more than summer @ my house.

My lithops that have woken up and are dividing/flowering, my dog and my huge Boston fern that flourishes mush to everyone's surprise (during a snow storm), and my mom's Alocasia Amazonica

what a fun thread!..I'm not familiar with 80% of these plants but I like them!..I need to take some chances and try these unusual (to me) plants..

Shawn, I thought I'd said at the time but don't see my comment here, that's one of the best pots of Lithops I've ever seen! LOVE!

My favourite succulent container

Maranta in bloom

Flavonian Aglaonema, rattlesnake, & a nepthytis in there also.

This one is longer than what's in the picture.

Sansieverias, Spathyphillum, Holiday cactus just fini blooming in fuschia

Love that Begonia bloom! This one is doing it too.

Some cute new plants. NOID Echeveria.

mini AV

And I finally found some K. blossfeldianas with double blooms!! I got one of each color they had, pink, red, yellow/orange.

Sooo excited!!

Beautiful!!!! Were they local to your area? or online?

IKR! They were at the little grocery store in the town where I work. I went in @ lunch to get a few things for dinner & there was a rack of tiny plants, right next to the potatoes! No idea if it will be restocked, or if it was a 1-&-done. I paid for the plants separately in case someone is tracking them. Then went back later for more, with nothing on the receipt but plants. Yes, people will buy just plants there.

I found a couple on Amazon as much as I dislike them. Don't think they were doubles though...Thank you!

Tiffany

Are they seldom to be found in AL? I am surprised - those are plants that seem to be quite plentiful around here.

They do look nice !:)

Rina, TYVM! In my area there are so few places that sell plants, and none are in the town where I live.

... except once a year when Maxway has a few tropical plants on the sidewalk. Like this gorgeous Dief! Wow! This huge pot with 12 individuals was $13!!

SCORE!!!!!

I just received those 3 Kalanchoes ...pink, red, orangy...the pink one was crushed, unpotted & not even in a paper sleeve, so I gave them my not so nice opinion for sure...

Received in the mail?

Yes as I'm disabled I do shop mostly but not all online.

People do it all the time, not that unusual. I know the feeling of wanting a plant but not seeing it in person! If you can find unrooted cuttings, they would probably travel easier, or at least be less messy. IDK at all what is usually for sale "out there" online.

I did a couple few mixed pots this morning....I planted the 3 Kalanchoe together in 1 pot. the 2 good ones were a decent size. I threw some succulent leaves on top of the soil in between them..planted my Anthurium under the Philodendron Hope. A maranta under the Philodendron Lickety Split. Some coleus with some tahitian bridal veil. Plus I have some Strep leaves, AV leaves & Chirita leaves propagating. And always have something rooting in water..Cissus Grape Ivy, Lipstick, always spider babies, brasil Philo, holiday cactus & a big Kalanchoe leaf just barely touching the warm water...We have had roofers here all day yesterday & waiting to see if they come back today...But it's cold out there today...very strange Spring. Will be putting my plants out late this year.

Those sound like beautiful combos! I always have stuff propagating too. Not been able to get an individual K. blossfeldiana leaf to take root but haven't tried in a serious way once I started getting so many stem cuttings. People say they can take root. Good luck with all of those!!

My "holding my breath" propagations @ the moment are some snips of a Hoya & stem of Fuchsia I just got. They are also in water. When it warms up more, I'm going to try some of each in soil too.

I spent some time with my plants this morning.

Im slowly working on exposing these Scheff roots.

Full view:

A little Jade forest!

Some random pics:

Beautiful, Chipped!

1" pots.

I discovered yesterday that the door of my greenhouse is magnetic. Time to get the wine cork "pots" back out & hot-glue some magnets!

With no potted plants inside until fall, I hung these bottles with steel wire.

The Pothos is long enough to stick one of its' aerial roots into another bottle on the shelf below. This will be interesting to watch.

Love the hanging bottles idea! I'll show you where I propagate

Ok, We went to our fave greenhouse/nursery yesterday...these 4 pots are just sitting in another pot..the orange plant is a Nemesia hybrid 'sunsatia blood orange', next to 2 different other annuals & a blue Lobelia (My favorite annual)

My Gryphon is in bloom

My Beefsteak is in it's 2nd bloom

Looks like fun, Debra! And that Begonia inflo (several?) - wow!

Tiffany...what gauge wire do you use the most?

I am not sure. The 2 rolls I bought were rated by the pound strength, one was 15, one was 25. I found another roll in our "tool closet" but it was without a label when found.

Ok, thanks.

I love this teeny tiny plants Tiffany! You ladies both made me realize I have no Begonias in my collection. I need to remedy this! That Gryphon is gorgeous, I love the ones with burgundy underleaves......Like I need more.

Thank you Chipped.....I had to go to the Dr. this morning...afterwards I went to another nursery on my way home...Spring is late coming this year.

I'm so weak..no resistance whatsoever.

I picked up the only Philodendron they had left, pretty sure it's a Zanadu, (no tag), a pink Syngonium, 6 pack of light purple Pansies, 6 pack yellow/purple violas, a pink carpet rose..(mine died with the 2 -20* nights we had), 6 pack variety of coleus, 3 clay pots, bayer 3n1 for the fall...My Mr. grabbed 4 creeping flox for our retaining wall, and 2 more perennial somethings I haven't checked out yet...

I asked if they had any Verbascum (it's a very old perennial)...They had no idea what I was talking about. It'd been around here for a long time.

I'll go to my no. 1 nursery, they'll have them...they have everything...'Gardeners Dream' in Ct. not far at all, 15 min at the most...They have all 11 greenhouses open. outside there must be 4 acres of stock.

Next time I go there I'll bring my phone & take pics.

Debra, sorry to hear you are dealing with health issues. Here's to a speedy recovery!!

Mike

Aww...thank you Mike..I've been like this since 2004..I'm used to it.

Here's a couple pics of what we picked up

I side planted a couple marigolds in a pot & window screened 2 cages, 4 more to go.

Nothing is staying outside overnight here, everything gets brought in for another month.

Picked a Red Sweet Potato Vine, a couple bacopas, 2 colors Calibrachoas, French & mixed marigolds, a mix of Lobelias, Verbascum, mixed Nicotanias, mixed Coleus, some fine textured trailers w/white flowers, 2 colors of petunias & some other annuals that are new to me..too early to plant though. Although I might & just put them out in the daytime.

My sweet potato vine from 2 years ago (black variety) has a sweet potato along with the roots.
