Welcome. Includes: 2 adapters for hard or soft plumbing option (1-1/2" FPT x 1" Barb/1" MPT and 1-1/2" x 1-7/8" Slip). FPT= Female Pipe thread (threads are on the inside) MPT= Male Pipe Thread (threads are on the ouside) to mate with female. Male dominated industry. Slip= connector fitting with no threads, used for hard pipes like PVC Barb= used to insert into hose and can also adapt hard pipe to hose Sounds like you should bring the pump to the hardware store and look for not a 1" barb but, a 1 1/4 to achieve a higher flow. Aslo see if you can get threaded unions to remove the pump for service or you will be cutting pipes and disturbing the plumbing to remove it later. Are you going to use the black corrugated hose, PVC or what? Do not use the soft silicone hoses, they will collapse and cruch as soon as they get a chance.

What an outstanding community project. We have not grown hangers for several years but when we were doing it we used wire framed baskets with some sort of fiberous lining (for the love of me I can not remember what it was). Timing was the hardest part - we worked back from the sale date and started the plants accordingly. We transplanted them into 606's and let them size an start to bud. Once they did that (hopefully about 2 weeks before the sale) we transplanted into the baskets. The plants were big enough that they full and were transplanted to give nice full pots. We hung the baskets in the greenhouse and kept them well watered and fertilized. When everything worked out the flowers were full and blooming for the sale. Unfortunatly timing was always problem - for us it was not a big deal as we also sold them from the farm so we took the best and held the others for sale later. We transitioned out of growing flowers into vegies (now we are not growing any plants for the general public just ourselves and a couple of other growers that contract with us). I am sure that there are many others here that are much more experienced with growing baskets than I so I hope they chime in. Tom

The style suggests it is from the 1930s, maybe 1935. Identification features are the grill, the crease in the front fender and the ribs on the hood. It has three bumper guards, the center one taller than the other two, but these may or may not be factory issue. Bolt-on bumper guards were a common third party acessory.

Timi, one of the names will be, I think, Rhipsalis, but it could now be known by another name (things are always getting reclassified), like Hatiora. It's a jungle cactus, growing in the crotches of trees/limbs of trees, in leaf litter and fauna droppings. It needs excellent drainage.
