Cattleya Orchid1 viewsThe house had too many orchids. So about 18 months ago I tossed the cattleyas out and told them 'Every cat for herself'. They survived winter and summer and here's the first bloom.Aug 20, 2008

Sago palm112 viewsI thought it'd take me a short while to dig out these pups. Heh, not likely. I'll have to go back and tackle them with a saw, hammer and chisel. Once removed you can cut off leaves and plant them ~ 1/2 way. In about 2 years you'll see leaves and have a new plant.
