It'll be fun to see the bloom when Jackie's plant blooms.

Sure will guys!! I lightly spritz them again this morning so hopefully that will help keep them going. It gets pretty dry in my house so I thought it might be a good idea. Lynn are you saying that other one isnt a succulent? I know one of the one's I have isnt so I just put that in water but I thought all the rest of them were. I just would hate to kill one being that they came from my DH great grams yard in Mexico. We shall see how they do I cant end up killing them all can I? lol

HA! Good news as of this morning before work when I was watering my peace lily! She has a flower showing up....I know it isn't a succulent as she get's watered every couple days but I've been waiting for her to flower again ever since I bought her a year ago and it's very exciting. Hmmmm I think the fertilizing must have helped
On the other hand...I can't wait for my new Semps that are coming!!! YAY!!!

For blooms and new semps.

Jackie where are the semps coming from? You may have posted but I forgot :P

Greg, Lynn has been kind enough to send me a few to get my semp collection going Im sooooo excited.

On another note I have a very sad story to tell:
Yesterday my DH didnt have to go to work so he stayed home and got to thinking about moving my greenhouse for me. I had planned on moving it next to my shed so it could receive more light but still have the structure to lean on in case the wind decided to blow it(even though I have weight on the bottom shelf). HE decided to move it right in the middle of the yard and sends me a picture of what he had done. I said ok, I was going to put it next to the shed but it might be ok there ill have to see when I get home. He then asks me which plants he can put outside. I told him he could put the tomatoes out, my little baby chicks in my strawberry pot, my box with my tenders in it would be ok but would have to bring all but the semps inside for the night. He ends up putting all my herbs out and my other aeonium's out. Well he calls me up about an hour before I get out of work and tells me that "Im going to kill him when I get home" I said "Why?" He says "Babe, your greenhouse blew over and Im soooooo sorry" ...... He was right I felt like killing him. Anyways I was pretty sad all night while picking up my plants and repotting them. My new strawberry pot that I put my chicks in broke along with 3 chicks missing out of the 9 chicks I had, My new pot from Mexico broke that had my two Aeonium's in it along with the plants in it ( have the stalk left and the head so I put the stalk of the plant in the dirt and layed the head on the dirt to see what happens ), the tomatoes were all wilted and just laying there, and some of the chicks were what looked to be crushed. I've repotted them all and will take pictures but it was very sad....yes I was teary a bit This morning I checked on the tomatoes and they have started to stand up again I believe. On the bright side I will be getting some new additions soon which I am excited about and my co-worker here at work had bought me a present to try and cheer me up, it was on my desk waiting for me. Everyone who knows me knows I looooovvvveeee to fish. Just about every weekend Im out there fishing the rivers and lakes around Michigan. So this is what she bought me to put some new baby semps in!!!

Oh, Jackie, I was flabbergast at your story and almost spilled my coffee on the laptop. I am so sorry to hear what happened and know that your husband (like others, have good intentions but don't know enough of the specifics to get it right) wanted to surprise you and help. I hope your little pieces will recover and so does your husband... Your new semps arrive and are OK or were they part of the catastrophe?
Now I am jealous...the fish is the cutest container I've seen this year. Where did she get that? I love it!!!

Bev,

Thank you yes he did have the best of intentions but didnt work out so well. My new semps are set to arrive next week so they were not in the catastrophe Just the ones that I currently have and hopefully they will recover well. I have hope.

She bought that from Hobby Lobby! I am going to go back and see if they have any more. She said they have other ones in different colors and sizes so I might get a couple more so I can have a school of fishys

Jackie could you get me one of the cuties too? We don't have HL here. I am interested in blue like in cobalt but if not the green is fine. Not sure what the dimensions are for the one you got so can't comment on size? I can reimburse you for the buy and postage if that is OK with you?

Sure....not sure what colors they have I will go tonight and let you know and will take pictures as well

Here is another couple pictures to try and show the size of it.

Small, I see. Thanks for the pics Jackie.

Jackie so sorry about your GH glad your new babies weren't in it...any semps involved will probably be ok, if you can find them Hope everything else recovers well

Sorry, that is me sobbing at reading what happened to the greenhouse. I feel bad for your hubby also, I can just imagine how bad he feels.

On the other hand, I'm going out to find a mini greenhouse, so I can have my DH tip it over, so my friends will go get me one of those fish planters.
I'll just put dandelions and and a few other potted weeds in it.

Jackie I do love that fish pot!!

Oh Lynn:

Well it did flash through my mind, for a moment.

Oh Jackie, I feel so bad for you. I can only imagine your disappointment. Hope the survivors all bounce back quickly. I love your little fishy pot too!


Lynn,

Lynn your too funny Here are what my chicks are looking like now... Dont know if I need to give them water or just leave them be and see how they do? The bottom leaves seem a bit squishy but others look dry. I left them in the greenhouse all day on Friday and it was zipped up. I think it became a sort of sauna for them and got them to hot not to mention they had just been trampled by the greenhouse falling. Any suggestions? Right now the dirt is bone dry.

After:

On the other hand one of them from Mexico that I am hoping to have roots started on just opened a flower:

Ooh Jackie pretty flower! How nice!!
Baby semps do look stressed...is it warm enough where you are now to leave them out all night? Somewhere that isn't inside the GH? If you water them I'd only spray mist. At some point you'll have to carefully pull off those dead leaves. You can do that anytime. I pick up and move my baby plants as often as they need - especially to keep the dead leaves off. Eventually they put out roots enough to be very stable and that's when I leave them alone more!
