ABUTILON!
You sure do need a lot of water. And I'm not sure I like you as much as I like my two Abutilon thompsoniis, River and Simon. Nevertheless, your flowers are very cool. Carry on.
ALOE PLICATILIS!
Keep in mind that you are here as a long term investment. You want to grow slowly? Fine. Carry on.
ASPIDISTRA ELIATOR 'MILKY WAY'!
You have proven yourself to be of high aesthetic quality, while requiring minimum maintenance. Also, the new leaves are looking swell. Carry on.
DRYOPTERIS ERHYTHROSORA!
It has come to my attention that you are a fern. Also, you are not dead. To exist under this botanical dualism in my home is rare indeed... most impressive. As a caveat, I must warn you... I've had bad luck with indoor-outdoor ferns. If I find a single scale or mealybug on you, I'll make you wish you'd never been germinated. That is all, carry on.
PASSIFLORA!
I can't trust anything with such... racy looking flowers. I've got my eye on you. Just keep those tendrils to yourself!
PEPEROMIA CAPERATAS!
Never met a Peperomia I didn't like. At ease.
BEGONIA REX NOID!
Don't think that you get special treatment, just because you were a gift cutting. We don't take kindly to begonias around here. You better keep that growth habit bushy and compact or I will equalize you, for serious.
SENECIO MACROGLOSSUS VARIEGATUS!
You are climbing that hoop like a champ. Great job. Take five.
That's it, now everyone, BACK TO WORK!
You must speak kindly to ferns, Dear. They are difficult.
ReplyDeleteOur outdoor fern completely died in our 90+ heat wave we've been having. I love your comments to your plants. Very comical.
ReplyDeleteWell done.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about ferns! They're so pretty, but I just can't keep them alive. Lately, I've begun to wonder if a clear plastic storage box (of which I have plenty) would work as a makeshift terrarium... if only I had room for it!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, lots of great plants, I'm jealous!
HAHAHA! I'm so with you on the begonias, and I'm impressed that you can grow passionflower indoors. I didn't know you could do that!
ReplyDeletegod-damn-mother-flippin-frickin-frackin-ferns!
ReplyDeleteI'm personally very fond of ffff...fluttering! *now picturing fluttering ferns*
ReplyDeleteHah! That was a cute post, and your plants look very healthy! Can I borrow you for a few months to make mine look like that?
ReplyDeleteYou seem like the perfect person to grow a succulent garden! They are pretty easy to grow and you can ignore them for long periods of time! Yahoo!
ReplyDeleteKeep the aspidistra flying.
