What an amazing number of blooms! I do love the Schlumbergera, and of course, all the anthuriums. I used to grow houseplants, but when they eventually all died from neglect, I never replaced them.

Half of them aren't old enough to flower yet.<br /><br />I worked in an organic orange orchard in Spain for a year. I hate to think how many pop bottles I filled with vinegar and hung in the trees.

I'm actually surprised that many outdoor gardeners don't grow houseplants, especially the ones that have long winters the way I do.
