Ken,

I keep going back and looking at those twin staghorns you've mounted to the cypress and they look so good! Do you find the stags to be popular plants? I'd think something that pretty would sell very quickly!

We've been lucky and haven't had much cold weather yet this winter but I've heard it's supposed to be a chilly and wet winter for Florida. Sad The worst part of winter in my area usually hits anywhere from the end of January to mid to late February so we may end up having frost and freezes before March gets here. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping the forecasters are wrong and it stays mild. I hate having to drag out blankets etc. to cover all of my plants and I just don't have room inside for any more than the few that are already taking up space. Smiling

I learned from someone on ATP (but I don't remember who it was) about Cinnamon being a natural anti- fungal and that it was great for use on plants. Last year I spotted signs of fungal infection on one of my orchids and sprinkled some cinnamon on the area ... it worked great so now I keep a little shaker of ground cinnamon in my basket of plant stuff on the back porch! Originally I was concerned about it possibly attracting ants but I haven't had any issues with that so far.
