Houseplant Swap!

Ottawa, ON(Zone 5a)

-Sunday delivery ... what next? Someone must have been catching up on things, or feeling particularly enthusiastic. Well that's good! Did the plants show any signs of damage or travel-weariness?

TORRINGTON, AB(Zone 3b)

No, none at all. They look great ^-^

Apparently pkg delivery on a Sunday in Calgary is usual.........

Betty - what's the condition of your Cane Begonia? Were the leaves bent too much? I wanted to get a good sized piece so it would have lots to draw on.
Can you post a pic?

Julie - glad you're able to resend it. Too bad there was an address mixup lol
Ah well, when you're busy moving, etc, it's not surprising DG doesn't get updated quickly lol

The Canadian lads posted a few days ago already arrived safely at Ceedub's home in Whitby..would imagine her plant will arrive any day now...

I will post a photo Susan, not to worry, think it caught the flu while travelling and is not looking well....

TORRINGTON, AB(Zone 3b)

oh no! H1N1 flu............. and here I thought it only happened to humans!

Christine's going to be happy to get the lads!!

If the roots and a part of the cane survived well, you can take off the leaves, and it should revive and poke out new leaves soon.

Tonight I got home to find a very soggy parcel at my front door containing the most beautiful potted plant! Its an Aphelandra zebra plant and even has a flower on it! Thank you so much Betty, I just love it! Here's its picture, I let it warm up and settle for awhile before I took this shot. And I love the plant buddy, its so cute!
