Wonderful, wonderful flowers, Tarev, Ursula, and Jim.
I just finished my (late) lunch and am about to go back outside and continue my tropical plant migration. I have moved everything but still have a couple of hundred orchids to move.
I just hosted our regional Master Gardener's at the house this morning. They wanted to tour my greenhouses and see how my (small) tropical plant business developed. The "tour/talk" was supposed to take an hour. I finally had to chase them all away after 2 1/2 hours. I just told them it was lunch time. Whistling They could not believe that I had so many plants now outside, that a week ago were all in greenhouses and on my enclosed porch. One fellow kept asking, each time I showed them another grouping of a hundred or so plants: "Did you have to move these all outside too?". Finally after the third time answering that same question, another Master Gardener chimed in and said: "Ed, every plant you see has been moved outside".
I think they all pretty much decided two things about me: # 1 - I am nuts, spending so much time and effort on this when I am supposed to be retired, and # 2 - It is truly a labor of love what I do. They are probably right on both counts! Sighing!
I like that possum, Jim. He/she should make a wonderful president.
