Isn't it beautiful?

Oh how exciting!
I hope you find lots of goodies.
And a bright colorful cym.

Well, I have 4 cyms in a small house but if I were to fine an orange or red one, I couldn't say no. I hoping to find something that I actually have space for. That's getting pretty hard. I need to donate some houseplants to the garden club again.

I've been debating an orange one for a while now.
No more room around the pond though.
I can now commence filling the rest of my yard with orchids.
Which is cool.

I hope you find an orange or red mini cymbidium.
That way it won't be as bad lol...


Im sadly lacking in the house plant area.
I've got some dracaena... My orchids... an African violet, and a gardenia bonsai.

I really need more houseplants.

I got some bad fish shots...
I couldn't capture all of them. They still run from the camera.

The fish look pretty happy.
I'm finding that my house plants take up too much space that could be used by orchids. But I'll keep my bougainvillea, streptocarpus and maybe the passion vine. I got to eat passion fruit in the fall, but the damn vine thinks it owns the basement.

I think I see some bullying happening. Between the comets and shubunkin.

Sheesh, bougainvillea and passiflora are house plants?
Those are some huge houseplants.
They are landscaping shrubs and vines in my area.

You can keep their size under control to an extent. The bougainvllea is worth having because it blooms a long time. When we lived in Ontario where we had sun in the winter, it would bloom all year. Here it blooms spring to fall.

Intriguing...
It's hard to believe that those plants are House plants. Lol.
In my mind they equate to large hardy drought and heat tolerant sun loving vines lol.

Well... some of the cymbidium are losing their flowers.
Others are experiencing bleaching.
Mainly I think due to the fact that it's starting to get very hot (80*+) during the day. But the tree that would provide dappled light during the heart of day when it's hottest still hasn't awoken from dormancy.
So far the green and red one is that only one that's completely faded.
But the yellow and red one is on its way out as well.

I envy you those temperatures. Our climate is very mild for Canada, but it is slow to warm in the spring. It's perfect for cyms though, because the nights in summer are quite cool.
