So, instead of being dubbed the "Cat Lady" by neighborhood kids I will be called "Plant Lady" for the mass of flora I collect. Foliage is my weakness. Tropical blooms are an even greater weakness of mine.
This one is called Tillandsia. AKA the "air plant." It is an epiphyte and survives in the wild by living in trees. It absorbs water and nutrients through the leaves. Last year it produced an amazing plume of purple and fuschia. It was wild to look at.
This is a basic Phalaenopsis orchid "Anna." It is blooming now and, as you see, is gorgeous.
This bad boy is an orange tree!!! It was a gift from the Warr's. They bought it last January while vacationing in Orlando. It was just a tiny seedling and now it stands over 12 inches tall. I can't wait to see what happens to this little guy over the next 20 years. Yes, we will be long time friends.
