I am back home. Really feel like I need a vacation! Can't wait for daylight, and get out, and ride my bike again.

Gorgeous, Nicole. My orchids aren't doing squat. Not unusual for me. I just have no luck with them. But I did just get a new plant, a cactus. It's a Crown of Thorns. I hope I can keep this one going. :)

Murraysmom - I've never seen a white one before. I have one started from a cutting, but it's not in bloom. My others are pink/red shades.

I'm loving all the green thumbs here, something that I was born without! This photo is giant lily pads in a greenhouse at Kew Gardens, outside of London.

Saigon, Vietnam:

murraysmom....my crown of thorns has NEVER bloomed! It's trying to take over the house tho...lol Then there's an Orchid store that sells out of bloom orchids for $5...can't wait to see what color this one is...it's putting out buds....

Oh Nicole beautiful orchids! I love the crown of thorn blooms, never had one. Nicole it wants to reach the sky lol. Great practice to sell the orchids for $5 rather than throwing them out. That's a really nice plant. I really like the pot where did you get it.

Raven....The pots are ALL from The Arc Thrift store. I pay around $2.50 - $3 for one. Over time, I've picked up a collection!
