Im distracting myself from the perils of medical school by acquiring more plants than any one person of my limited experience should have....

Lets see, I think I was going to *start* listing my plants (I havent yet gotten obsessive about naming conventions, so dont expect me to get all Latin on you here. Yet.):

-Vanda -- an orange one whose name escapes me
-Darwinara Charm Blue Star
-Cirrhopetalum Elizabeth Ann "Jean"

Succulents:
-5 different undetermined Stapeliads

-a very basic sanseveria
-another pretty basic sanseveria
-some rosette-like sanseveria
-other little bits

-Maidenhair of undetermined name
-Another undetermined maidenhair
-A rosey (sp?), palmate sort of maidenhair
-"Kangaroo paw" fern
-"rabbits foot" ferns
-"lemon button" ferns
-A variegated victorian looking fern I need to look up
-A ruffled birds nest-looking fern

Not-really-ferns:
-asparagus plumosa (?) of 2 different forms

Begonias:

Misc:

-a "cast iron" plant? thats miserable
