So is the wife still giving you a hard time about buying plants, Jim?
Do we need to start a "Get a pink Neo for Jim" fund for you?  |
She's definitely happier since we got the deck replaced and I've restrained myself. It's been tough. Especially with all this Neo talk going on.
"Hi. I'm Jim. And I'm a Neoholic."
I'm starting to build a "plant room" down in the basement for another of my obsessions; Cryptocorynes (an aquatic plant from southeast Asia used in planted aquariums). Hmmm, I seem to have this Asian theme going on here. I was at the European Cryptocoryne Society meeting in the Netherlands last October and shipped back about 60 plants that I am growing and sharing with fellow enthusiasts here in the US. This year it was in Vienna, Austria and I missed it, but I have a "care package" coming from the meeting this week. Anyway, I'm putting shelving, electricity, and water in my basement for growing my plants which will really make her happy.
Basically Marlene's okay with everything as long as we have the room and the house doesn't get all cluttered. Next month she and I are going to the Aquatic Gardeners convention in Atlanta. She does enjoy the planted aquariums. And, she does really like orchids as long as they are kept up, look nice, and we have room.
Soooo, I think once I get the plant Gwen sent me to flower, wow her with it's beauty, fragrance, and small size, I'm golden.
It's a shame I missed out on the Neo project. That would have been fun.
Cheers.
Jim
