May Weather, let the growing begin.

KC Metro area, MO(Zone 6a)

Currently 79 and a bit humid. Was a hot day today. Will be hotter tomorrow.

Mountain View, HI

Dry, humid and hot again. I little cloud build up this afternoon. Not much change forecast for the next 5 days. Hanging baskets are starting to wilt.

Kelli - You ask a good question. I've not counted lately. I think there are thirty pots on the front deck, my oldest stock, 10 pots on the back deck, probably 12 in the potting greenhouse, 2 old plants on the edge of the driveway, maybe 30 in the Epi greenhouse and 60 in the Amaryllis greenhouse, 10 in the backgreenhouse and I've taken 120 cuttings fresh this year. What does that make. That makes about 270, wow, wish you hadn't asked. Over time I will try and post some pics.

How about you?

Microb, that epi that I called 'Roman Holiday' is actually 'Sunset Boulevard'. SB had encroached over into RH's territory and I didn't look that close at who was who.

I think this is a disocactus but I'm not sure.

Day after day of calm, humid weather. We do get a few light showers at night. No real weather forecast until next week Sunday or Monday when the trade winds return and the humidity drops.

Can't beat those epis Kelli. Great colors. Here's a couple of my "greenhouses" and the front deck. Don't need to enclose the ends of the greenhouse, just provide protection from the rain.
