When I pulled up this blog this morning, I looked at the header picture and thought something was wrong. It took me a minute to realize that the picture was from last year when I *thought* I had a full porch of pots. Now that the number has probably close to doubled, the header looks barren. I'll try to update it sometime over the weekend, not that it's looking good!
And now, some new plants, and some repotted plants:
This is a small "money" tree that D bought at Ikea.
I don't know what the real name is, but she liked it.
She also bought a BIG "money" tree as well.
Anyone have ideas as to what it actually is?
the other night while we were doing yard work, and
offered us two plants to add to the porch. She claimed
she was too old to take care of them. So not true!
This snake plant is over 20 years old, she said. She
had it on her closed in porch in a tiny little pot.
It is taller than I am, and some of the leaves are so
long they don't stand up!
I put it into a larger pot where it will hopefully thrive!
We stuck it on the side of the porch where we
needed a bit of a buffer. And it sits right behind the swing.
This is the other little plant she gave us. She said she
got this one in 1983, which would make it 26 year old!
I hope I don't kill it!!! Here in it's original pot
and below in the larger pot that the snake plant
came in.
I wasn't 100% sure what it was, but have been informed
it's a type of peace lily. Kinda looked like the other one we have,
but it's a different variety.
This one came from work. It was destined to be thrown away.
It's now repotted in the pot that the peace lily came in.
This little spider plant was a rooting from another we have.
I had potted it in this little red penguin bucket when
I didn't have any pots to put it in. Needless to say, it
needed an upgrade.
It's now in this pretty forest green ceramic pot.
The porch is so lush and bright and green right now, and the weather lately has been fantastic! I don't remember a July that has ever started out with such low humidity. It's been such a pleasure to sit and read or relax on the porch!
