Re: New garden pics

Well- I hope yours bloom soon too then. I just leave mine outside on the back porch all year long- they get AM sun and are close to the house. They are on the drip system- so I generally just leave then to do their own thing. Like the cereus they seem happiest that way! I'll keep watching the iris and let you know if it does anything this year.

Linda Anderson; she sent me some, too. None have bloomed yet; maybe this year. Hope the African iris does bloom. I had to take ours up a year ago--potted them in gallon nursery pots--and haven't replanted them. This would be a good time to do that [if I can figure out where to put them].

Hi Jim- both colors of the orchid cactus came from one of our old listserv friends - Lynda in Wyoming I believe (my memory for these things is awful). It grows very much like my night-blooming cereus does. Long flattish branches, with buds that pop up on the leave edges. A gangley looking plant- not that attractive honestly- but the flowers are stunning. I don't know the real name. The plant is right next to a potted palm tree- so you see it's leaves in one of the pics. If you remind me this fall, (and give me directions) I'd be happy to cut off a branch piece and send to you.
P.S. A couple years ago you sent me some African Iris seeds- and one of the plants is now large enough that I think it might actually bloom! No buds yet, but at least it is now a nice sized plant. So- thanks for sharing!

Great job on the patio, Theresa. Very nice looking.

I'm smitten with your purple cactus flower. Do you know its real name? And what kind of structure does the plant have?
