This Week in Plants



The weather is finally settling on a regular temperature pattern of 40 degrees at night and 70's during the day.  This is causing some seeds to sprout and it's getting closer to spring!

Have you received your free Arbor Day Tree?  I got a Dahoon Holly and my sister got a Yaupon Holly for her house.  It looks like the people who lived in our house before us got bald cyprus trees every year because there are 3 different sized trees in the front yard.  Here's the link to get a free tree:  Energy Saving Trees - Arbor Day


Our little girl, Olivia, wanted to plant some apple seeds from an apple she ate.  They started sprouting in about a week.  Now we have a pile of apple seeds to grow more!


I got this orchid for $3.00 at Lowe's.  It was sitting next to a bunch of $9.99 orchids but it didn't have a price tag.  I asked the cashier and she discounted it to $3.  An orchid this size and in full bloom was selling for $30!  


Our pile of apple seeds, some beans, and seeds I got in the mail from Craig Huegel. Garberia (Garberia heterophylla) and Woody Goldenrod (Chrysoma paucifloculosa). Here is a link to Craig's blog.


Does anyone know what these are?  They are growing real well around our mailbox and I would like to plant some more.

Until next time...
