Air Plant Blooms

It’s funny. My outdoor garden started as miscellaneous Walmart plants. Now, it’s mostly daylilies.

My indoor garden is shifting from orchids and miscellaneous to air plants/bromeliads, orchids, succulents – begonias, amaryllis and succulents.

My first blooming air plant

Sadly, I have to look up the name of this air plant from the order slip. I’m new to these guys. But, it’s good to have bloom success.

I’ll try to post my winter blooms. For today, freeze warning means I gotta move some plants today.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow comes my 400-mile trip home to daylily-ville.  And my pups and kitties.   I can’t wait to see what the monsoon rains have brought into bloom.  I hope my squash and other veggies survived.  It is hard to be gone during growing season.

Today, I took a walk after dinner.  One of the few breaks from mandatory activities for work.  I found a little air plant.  I think live plants make cool souvenirs.  Maybe I really am turning into a gardener.  It is a grounding hobby in a world of uncertainty.
