Hehe does weeds count? I have absolutely no time right now to work in my garden, especially with 2 2yr old toddlers running around
I do admire nice gardens though.
Your orchids are BEAUTIFUL! That is a talent in itself!
Of course! Some "weeds" actually make very cool flowers ~ under the right conditions of course! I remember what is was like when the kids were little ~ thats been a day or two ago however, look forward to grandkids at this point. You get to spoil them, then let their parents deal with it
. Thanks, only have a few blooming right now; find them to be challenging, but once you understand them (like SW tanks), they are really not as hard as some think! Something in me just requires green and growing things.
I think I "over do" plants. The only thing I could keep alive is a fern. I mist it every day and even take it into the bathroom when I shower. Prune, about every day.
I think I overwater, over prune, etc...
Beautiful flowers though. People like you make THAT hobby look easy.
Ferns are cool! personally I have trouble keeping them alive ~ too dang dry in my house with the coal stove. Back when all the kids were home, we could keep one alive in their bathroom ~ now its just looks scraggly, sad and abandoned. Thank you, but as I said above, like SW once you overcome some of the common misconceptions about Orchids they aren't really that difficult. Of course, these are the only five of the 50 some plants that I have that are currently in bloom.
I took this of the morning glorys the other day. I only have one orchid in bloom, need to snap a picture. My nuns orchid has two lrg buds and the crepe myrtles are starting to bud up. Not much else in bloom yet
Aaaah! Thank you sooo much! Renews my faith in spring. Please share the picture of the orchid ~ love to see what others are growing. I just got a nuns last fall (friend from Indiana sent it to me), its not doing great ~ can't figure out if I'm keeping it too wet, or too dry, or just too much sun. Its got about five new starts growing great guns, but all the original leaves have holes in them, the ends have turned black and they are dieing back. Course it spent an extra week in the post office (long story), so that might have something to do with it. Would love to see pictures of it when it opens as well. Not familiar with crepe myrtles, what are they?
Thank you all so much ~ I love green and growing! Anyone else care to share?
