Epidendrum from HD
"Gene Schurg" wrote in message news:tr0Ci.1434$tB2.1165@trndny05... That list is long for me.... I have a calamodin orange tree that I've been growing for 39 years! Outside in summer, indoor in winter. I got it as a kid and it's moved with me about 6 times. I have a couple of weeping figs that are 30 years old. Same routine each year and I hack them back to keep them small enough to bring indoors in the fall. I have two macadamia nut trees from nuts I picked up in Maui two years ago. Something different that most people here in the east don't ever see. I also have a small pulmeria that is doing well. Begonias, african mask, bonsai weeping fig, three bougainvilla, angel trumpet (yellow and Pink), pots and pots of pothos that came from a cutting from a friend 25 years ago and it came from her parents before that. Its a great weed to grow under the benches in the Greenhouse. A 5 year old staghorn fern that I was looking at yesterday and thinking about giving away because it's becoming a big plant. Parlor Palm that was recued from an office 25 years ago when the plant maintenance people were going to throw it away......in a pot with no drainage (and probably no more dirt). Just keeps growing. A couple dozen Christmas Cactus that grow with the pothos under the benches. No problem, just groom them in the spring (they bloom twice a year Thanksgiving and late spring). Clivia that I divided in the spring into 5 big clumps (will give 4 clumps away) got from a lady who I used to cut her grass 20 years ago. Geraniums that winter in the unheated garage and come back every year. One is over 12 years old and just keeps going and going....so much so I almost hate the color now. About 50 pots of Amaryllis....I get them each year after new years day at 75% off (yeah...I am cheap!) then keep them all summer. The next year they bloom for me in May when I can take them outdoors and forget about them...no fuss. Bunches of Ferns and other stuff that probably won't fit back indoors this year. and people can't understand why I want a bigger greenhouse! Good Growing, Gene And my neighbor thinks I'm a plant nut!!!!!!!!! Your plants must be a full time job. |
