A few weeks ago I was doing a moving job for a lady and this poor little orchid was just sitting in a window sill. All dried up and looking very dead. She was going to toss it so I brought it home. All I know about it is the pot has a sticker calling it a Phalaenopsis. I am so upset with myself for not snapping a few shots of it all dried out. Today I just noticed a new spike, cane, stem not sure what it is called yet, growing out of the side of it. In just a few short weeks it back to life. It makes me feel so good to bring plants back after so many years of my life i have spent killing them.
Well being born in a paradise like I was here in South Florida I have always taken all of my tropical plants and palms around me for granted. Just recently realizing how lucky I am. I'm going to take full advantage of this tropical climate. This blog is going to show all of my trials and tribulations with growing different species of plants and trees. Feel free to check back regularly and watch my plants grow.
