oh how pretty. I never saw a fern like that. I have african violets and some sort of fern that has furry legs. (I was always told it was a monkey fern) And the pony tail plants. I love how they look. I have many more these are my favorite.

You already know mine -- the pink allusion arrowhead vine. Now I have two of them. I sure hope that I can winter them over.

Oh, and remember that dish garden I bought myself for Mother's Day? I now have the alocasia and the croton, too. I love both of those. It won't be much longer before I'll have to bring them off the porch. You know that I can keep anything alive in the house except snake plants. I'll post my pix if I can find which folder they are hiding in.

Sorry, it took so long to get back...my bad
I call it Madam Butterfly because someone told me that is what it was.
I think you've seen the cactus looking thingy before on here, well here they are nonetheless. If you know it by its given (real) name. let me know..ok

Ah-ha! Madame Butterfly is an Arrowhead vine-and Witt has a pink one! Yeah, I've seen your cactus thingy before-VERY unusual-looks deadly (I bump into things often). Neat-o!

Mine is the hoya (sp??) - waited years for it to bloom and now it does all summer long!

OH, I like Hoya, too. I have one, but mine stays outside-it vines up a piece of lattice on my shed. I have to cover it in the coldest part of winter. Very pretty plant, but aphids just love mine-it's hard to keep them out of the plant!

Mine does not venture outdoors. Had a fight with that white fungussy-looking parasite a few years ago, but I seem to have licked it. Assuming my outdoor plants that are now inside don't bring any of it in!
