nope...we changed out 2 beds today.They have about 50 beds that were planted with Poinsettia and have to be changed now that the holiday is over.I was well dressed but still a mucky mess..especially now that I have to wear glasses!...I actually gave my notice today..I LOVE the job...I love ( most of) the folks I work with but my old body can't do the heavy lifting that my brain can do! The most difficult part is taking an hour lunch break ( at 9 am) and then getting back into manual labor..my back is saying NOOOOOOO! They do have a large orchid house , with someone who is allegedly in charge. She is quite passionate about having someone potting up keikie's..but lets huge specimen plants die. I went through the orchid house the other day and tossed at least a dozen plants like this in the trash. . . and got a talking to...she's not interested in blooms or culture ...just the keikeis...


this was an 18" hanging basket.
so today I just picked the dead leaves off of plants and positioned budding and blooming plants so I could enjoy them on my lunch breaks
