But I love them, and one of numerous reason we moved to San Francisco.

(And the other place was overpriced to the point of self-parody: $47.50 for a 6-inch <i>Anthurium</i>? And you get people to <i>pay</i> that? Really?)

I credit it to lots of sun and benign neglect. Good for you for getting out and about! There's nothing like seeing tons of plants in winter to boost the snowbound spirits (trips to Parkside Orchids and the Allentown Flower Show are in the works for us), but oh, woe to the pocketbook!our friend Benhttp://ourfriendben.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-46434192346475855082010-01-15T04:30:46.055-08:002010-01-15T04:30:46.055-08:00Those are very pretty flowers.

Mine has flowered exactly once in the many years I've had it, if I remember correctly. Not enough sunlight for it, except in summer when it goes outside for a couple of months, but I love my big ol' plant.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107236871193698777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-16849761116071391982010-01-15T03:21:53.863-08:002010-01-15T03:21:53.863-08:00Wow, pretty flowers - pretty enough to reconcile m...Wow, pretty flowers - pretty enough to reconcile me to <i>Crassula ovata</i> (which, IMO, have always been stupid, ugly, top-heavy things that kept toppling over when dry and rotting when watered. I don't want to know how many of them I've had to fish out from under tables because they fell off.)Ivynettlenoreply@blogger.com
