Harold is still alive and well...
he must be at least 20+ years old. My daughter wanted him when she was young, he was a tiny plant in a one inch pot... he's grown and spread out... all with TLC from me!!
A few days ago I referred to my Orchid in a post about “Looking for Sunshine”. It was just about to bloom. Well, I am thoroughly enjoying the blooms this week. Every year it graces our home with a cascade of blooms that last right until March! This past summer I had to repot it because the roots were sticking up out of the pot everywhere. I was nervous about doing it since I knew they were very particular about their habitat. However, the plant is thriving so well. It gives me hope for new beginnings in the coming year.
Earlier in the year I gave a number of spare courgette plants to a friend who gave me a young African violet plant in exchange that looked like a jewel in its tiny pot. Now it has grown into this splendid plant.
I am very excited to be back on flickr with you all and seeing your wonderful photos.

From the parlour palm, Chamaedorea elegans, in my office window. They're only the size of the heads of dressmaker's pins, but any sign of creativity from the houseplants is welcome especially in late winter. I've never seen these before.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
I ordered a Chrysanthemum plant for ourselves and 2 others for Christmas but they didn't arrive in time. I suspected it was problems tied up with covid. When I rung up after Christmas it turned out that for some reason they had been overlooked. The company was most apologetic. They tracked down our order despite problems of working from home. But they had no more chrysanth plants. Would we accept Gardenias instead? Something I've never grown before so a new learning curve. I know they are beautifully scented. I am quite pleased to have them now after Christmas when therer is more space for them.
I'm afraid I am not able to follow any more members or post to groups.
