The Meiwa Kumquat tree has sweet fruit!


First orchid inflo for me EVER! Phal. jiuhbao Coral JB2108


My favorite metal Ladybug got mowed over twice while I was mulching leaves. I loved her so much I pulled out the dents the best I could and gave her a new coat of paint. . Now she sits on a shady rock.


My double Klanchoe from a visit to a Corpus Christi TX nursery blooms for me for the first time.


Here comes Bromiliad bilbergia to brighten a gray winter day!


Giant White BOP inflo in the Greenhouse!!!


Bougainvillea have no clue that winter has come. Blooming brightly though leafless in the greenhouse..


Abuliton will give the greenhouse pretty red lanterns soon!

Cheery pics, Cheryl. How do you keep your Abutilon free of aphids in the GH? I gave up wintering them over indoors because they were such aphid magnets for me.

So far aphid-free here@shadegardener. Crossing fingers. I do have issues with spider mites though. My gh has many anoles. I like to think that they help keep the bad bug population down.

I do keep my eyes open for spider mites. I do spray down everything before moving it into the gh in the fall. Aphids were a real problem on ornamental peppers and Abutilon though so I stopped overwintering them and haven't had a problem since.
