Simon sneaking up on the
green grass salad. It was pouring rain when I harvested these clumps of
crab grass and fescue, |
|
Here Simon is being, well, simply Simon!
This seems to be his favorite position. He loves having his belly
scratched; as a matter of fact, this is also a sign of complete trust
when he presents a very soft and vulnerable fat tummy! Simon will soon
have his own web site - catzie's chat house! |

This pot of grass will
last for several months. I sprinkle a teaspoon or so of fresh seeds
every 6-8 weeks to keep it sprouting. Keep the soil moist. |

These pretty stalks of Lucky Bamboo are sent
to us from Sylvia. The arrangement is owned by her sister. Sylvia says
the plants grow well in very little water - maybe the plant is able to
draw enough humidity from the air to keep it flourishing. See
Keeping
Leaves Green.

Here's a very happy prayer
plant - large, too, by the looks of it in front of the easy chair. The
owner says it is in a gallon size planter. Because prayer plants also
thrive in low light, she had kept it basically in that type of setting
for years where it received ambient light from windows. However, in
recently rearranging her living room, the plant now gets full sunlight
and she has been rewarded by continuous blooms from this lovely plant.
Incidentally, prayer plants close their leaves at nighttime. This one
shares its pot with a few sprigs of a velvet plant and looks like some
kind of cactus. Prayer plants would make a nice memorial gift on
Memorial Day. |

Chuck was inquiring about how to
maintain the nice pineapple shape of his lucky bamboo arrangement. For
the life of me, I couldn't imagine what the pineapple shape looked like.
He was kind enough to forward this photo. You may find Chuck's question
on our
FAQS page number 3 |

| RYAN'S BAMBOO: Ryan took
this with his camera phone showing the crown of his bamboo turning
yellow. This can be from spider mites in a dry environment, which is
typical in an office where the plant is located. |

|
KYLA'S BAMBOO: This is a lovely
arrangement with all but the stalk in the foreground showing healthy
growth. This center stalk is dying and that could be a result of the age
of the stalk. |
