Purple, I have two other anthuriums apart from this one (Home Depot sent me a coupon for buy one plant, get one free so I got two for $10! LOL). The color of leaves on those are a lime green color. I guess it depends on the type of anthurium. I'm not an expert in the varieties but I do know that some of them are hybrid plants. Maybe nothing is wrong with your plant at all. Wndy, I have a big Peace Lily too. I have it at work under artificial light (no windows). It bloomed from when I got it (last April) until August of last year. It hasn't bloomed since then. I don't know what's wrong but my fingers are crossed like yours. Hopefully in the warmer months both mine and yours will start blooming again.

What a wonderful trip, Tiffy. I was looking forward to looking at these pics. when your post first showed-up but my computer went down, but today is quite overcast and rain is threatening so it was a sight for sore-eyes. We have had lots of heat and rain lately, and I was just thinking that I am quite pleased with my gardens today - thanks to 5 years of winter-sowing, and lots of help from you and all the wonderful WSing friends here on this forum. At first it was so exhausing, just growing lots of plants, but now I have 'gardens', still with some holes but it has come together. I love the stone in your gardens and am in the process of constructing a stone border around my 'new' bed, but it is such hard work. Hope it will be finished in a couple of weeks. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy!!!

Thanks for your generous comments! My garden is still in its infancy since we moved in 2010. I post a lot on my blog and on Flickr but those are kind of my little isolated oases where I can talk to the wind...I actually think this is the first non-"please help me figure out this NOID" thread I've yet started. I have a few other Salters' besides Black Fathom Depths and must fess up that I picked up another today @ Soule's Gardens that is now living right next to BFD (their At First Blush was literally begging me to take it home...though my husband looked at me as if I'd grown a 3rd eye when he saw yet another plant arrive). Hopefully I might get some blooms off her this year...not sure...I thought the 2 would be a nice contrast side-by-side. Cheers! ~Anika Here is a link that might be useful: GothicLibrarian.net

Well, last season, we had a totally 'feral' garden. Whatever came up from the previous year's compost dumped in during the spring. (There was/is a war going on with invading mint that apparently is set on world domination.) We got pumpkins, cantalope, acorn squash, cukes and plenty of cherry tomatoes - a variant that had been developed by a local garden center. Most prolific...indeed, without a killing frost thus far, there was still ripening fruit when I pulled the plants three days ago, Single digit wind chills for tomorrow morning, though.
