It looks like the Pleione orchids are going to be generous with their blooms this year\u2013I counted at least 16 buds today!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Related to the Pleione orchids, I\u2019ve decided to gather moss to add to my orchid mix going forward. March seems a good time to gather it. I found a bunch on the cement benches at Amy Yee Tennis Center this weekend, so I loaded a bunch up in empty tennis ball cans and brought them home.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I think this is the jungle cactus hybrid, White Christmas. It is a bit late for its namesake holiday, but I\u2019m super happy to have a few holiday cactus blooms in the greenhouse this month.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My plant hoarding continues. As I walked around near the tennis center, I found a bunch of lovely Hebe shrubs neglected in a public planting, so I grabbed a few cuttings. I also grabbed a heel cutting from a bluish juniper or cypress growing next to an apartment building. I got seeds from some black locust and also from a hawthorn and some odd shrubs growing on the Amy Yee property. All of these have been planted now\u2013we\u2019ll see if any of them start and add to my hoard!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
