Nice cactus, Jumper!

Holly, I'm so envious of all your plants and your southern exposure on the sunroom. I love that huge 'Prince of Orange' Philo. At least I think that is it, the big one in the foreground of the pic where you mentioned it. Or is that a rubber tree? I tried a variegated rubber tree like you have, kept it in my bedroom. It died on me. I don't know what I did wrong. My 2 Rex begonias are doing wonderfully. I have a stromanthe called 'Carl Marx' that is struggling. I think I bought it over a year ago. I'm surprised it's even still alive. It's hanging in there, but it's not happy. I don't have enough humidity for it I'm guessing, though the Rexes like humidity, and they seem to be happy.

Here's a pic of a corner of our sunroom. This is during an overcast day, and you can see it gets pretty good lighting. This is the east facing side.
