I've got 7 Phal's in the house in bud and starting to open. 3 smaller ones in the greenhouse w/ spikes. Guess that will make up for the Dendorbiums that didn't do squat for me this year. I want to get the stuff on the front porch outside, so I can put the Orchids on the porch. I'll take more pics then the light is much better for photo's plus more will be open.
Spicy Justicia is blooming outside and a little one in the greenhouse, Columbia Ivy Sage is blooming, Reed Orchids are blooming. I don't buy Annual's, I grow them from seed so no early annuals in the garden, but my seedlings are up so won't be long before they go in the ground. I've got 5 trays of 18 cell flats in the greenhouse ( I use the ones that are 2x3 cells so I can sow/grow/plant without having to transplant in between. I've already started about 15 different MG's also. Corkscrew vine, (Vigna Caracalla) bunches of Salvia's and a Brug seedling Perfec Harmony x Peanut, Jatropha Multifida- 3 seedlings and 3 more sown,these are the COOLEST things to watch sprout. Blue Shrimp Plant seedlings, the Bromarea hirtella seeds haven't sprouted yet. They might need a trip to the frig. Debra, you 'Seed cake" is sprouting I need to take a picture of it, and the Plum Delight Balsam seeds you sent me are up. Something else to you sent but I don't remember what it is. Oh, and my tomato, pepper, and spinach seeds all sprouted are are planted out, and sowed the lettuce, radishes, and shallots are up.
There's a huge brush fire south of us...over 10,000 acres on fire and I-95 is shut down and they are evacuating people .I hope we don't have a repeat of the 1998 firestorms. It was terrible. We're getting a tiny bit of rain, doubtful enough to help with that fire.
Here's a Stag out in the woods behind our property
