Some orchids are very easy. If I can get them to bloom anyone can. I just stick to moth orchids are great year-round, but they're especially well-suited for cold days when you're spending a lot of time indoors. Their elegant flowers will last for months.
The lipstick plant is in a small pot on a stand about 4' off the floor. Loves sittin in water and indirect light, started from a cutting.
Most of the dracaena's are well over 25 years old started from cuttings. They occasionally bloom.. which is quite a surprise. Usually in august.
Really enjoying this thread. Lots of plant lovers need greenery, flowers, even in winter. It's also nice to bring in dried flowers and a fav are the hops vine with hops hanging from them turn pink and make a nice swag around windows and x-mas tree. Many dried materials from the garden are used in the Xmas tree. Some are spray painted, others left natural.
I can't wait to start some amaryllis for the holidays. I ordered some new ones early spring to be sure they wouldn't be sold out by now. Actually love a little flower power for the holidays.
Need a few close up in posts above to see the leaf patterns and textures better. So many beautiful π€© pics.
