Thanks Daisy. The pool is in a screened enclosure which runs the length of the back of the house. At the other end is a covered wooden deck within the same screened area. I have plants on the wood deck too.
Looky What I Found
That is surely one heck-of-a Florida Room!!! lol
LOL, I actually have a Florida room too. It's a long enclosed porch that is not heated or cooled and it's very hot in the summer time and very cold in the winter. It opens to the wood deck and pool area. That room is mostly full of some old furniture and a couple of metal plant stands/shelving units. There are a couple of plants in there and I collect birdhouses so there are quite a few birdhouses hanging and sitting around that room ... and a lot of junk in there too!
If the price was right, I'd try it. I think I have a pink fittonia cutting growing and it cost me .67, lol.
Someone sent me a plant wrapped in spanish moss. It was so funny because I put the plant down and was more interested in the moss. Then I realized what I did and just had to laugh at myself.
3jsmom.... That is funny. U make me laugh alot : )
We have spanish moss growing in many of the live oaks here.. Very pretty...
Lin, Your actual living space may be small but I bet your house looks huge... from the sky! Sounds like a really nice place.

Oh, Lin, that is lovely. I have a similar picture of a real oasis, at least 3 sides protected by house, surrounding a natural looking pool, still a swimming pool, but like you said, a water feature and all the plants enjoying the humidity. I would love to plant some tropicals right in the ground, too. I would have to say that I would go with wood heat for a green room again. It is a dry heat, but with the concrete floor, that isn't a problem so far because I can spray the floor. The plants mostly seem happy out there. I use the floor for cooler loving plants and the high shelves for some rainforest guys :).
I think it would be hard to downsize from that lovely setup, though :).
I'm having climate envy! LOL
