End of Cold Weather!

So, since the weather is finally nice, I've gone out and started adding to my collection again. I just came home with: okra, tomatoes, spinach, strawberries, lemon balm, and geranium plants. I also purchased a seed packet of mixed salad greens as an experiment. I've never grown from seed before, but I'm hoping to make some home grown salads soon!


Recently I returned from my mom's house and she let me take some cuttings from some of her plants. I brought home from her house: an Angel Wing Begonia, Fairy Castle Cactus, a night blooming cereus, and some sedum looking plant that i have never been able to identify.

About a week ago I brought home a few succulents. I got: a Key Lime Pie, sempervivum Cobweb, Echeveria 'Irish Mint', Echeveria 'Plush Plant', and Fire Sticks.

Around Christmas my family gifted me a dykia plant, and a cute collection of 1" potted cactus!


Recently, I repotted my two Phalaenopsis orchids. One of them already has two new flower spikes. And while I was out getting orchid potting mix, I picked up an orchid I've never grown before, a Cattleya. It was a very small plant, and when I repotted it, most of the roots looks pretty lousy so I'm not very optimistic that it will survive, but it will at least be fun trying out a new plant!
