The high heat and humidity of summer has caused an explosion of growth on everything in the greenhouse! Palms, heliconias, gingers, calatheas, orchids, aroids, plumeria, hoya....everything is just going crazy!

I had a Juliana hobby house at the old house. The zoning ordinances and the Historical Preservation board wouldn;t let me build anything big. But out here, we can do whatever we want!

Ha so sweet! I have not been out there for a few days I pulled my back out. I just sent a smaller version of this Anthurium pseudospectabile down to Miami as a trade. Can't want to get my end of the swap...so exciting to be trading again
