<\/p>The garden continues to be filled with berries (black and rasp) and flowers (mostly the annuals Leon added to the pots around the patios).\n

I plan to do some organizing and repotting in the coming weeks. \u00a0As part of that process, I decided to increase my favorite plants through some starts from Ebay.<\/p>\n

There are sellers that will send streptocarpus leaves for cuttings, and I ordered a dozen of those. \u00a0Unfortunately, they landed right before I went on vacation. \u00a0I potted them up, but when I got back they already had wilted and some had shriveled up to nothing. \u00a0This is especially sad, as I received leaves of some awesome cultivars. \u00a0Hopefully some of the survivors will root, but it seems unlikely\u2026I might need to order them again when I can take better care of them. \u00a0I\u2019ve had great success with leaf cuttings before.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite and successful greenhouse plants are the Pleione orchids. \u00a0I only have Pleione formosana, so thought I would try some different kinds. \u00a0One seller had a batch of ten bulblets for a reasonable price, and he has some nice species and cultivars, so I ordered them. \u00a0Today they landed and I potted them up. \u00a0Here are some Pleione pics<\/a> to give an idea of what possibilities exist.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll post another update this weekend, once I start to repot and get organized. \u00a0I expect I\u2019ll find all kinds of treasures I\u2019ve forgotten about.<\/p>\n

The rain lilies in the greenhouse bloomed really nicely the last week or so\u2013more flowers than I\u2019ve had before. \u00a0These are seedlings I grew of Habranthus robustus.<\/p>\n
