I know I asked this before but what the heck is this spotty stuff on the back of the begonia leaves? The front always looks great but the backs of the leaves look horrible.

I did the room change so I could take advantage of the South facing windows, couldn't before cause the bed was in the way. If this was my house I would have hooks all along the ceiling full of hanging plants. I'm so upset about the plants taking a dive in the kitchen as the strawberry begonia I finally got looks really bad now.

Hi everyone, here's a quick pic of my "pity purchase" from the airport after my flight back to Phoenix from Las Vegas.  It's a goofy small pot filled with young cacti, and all three types love it here outside so I thought I'd rescue them before someone bought them and took them to Anchorage, LOL.  I'll gradually reintroduce them to bright light so they don't sunburn.  Hope you enjoy.  Happy gardening, Grant (ps:  I'm adding lots of outdoor pics to my May 2013 garden pics photo album).

Fun pics and updates all.  Vicky your plants all look so great, and as I always say, that Schlumbergera holiday cactus is insanely huge!  Love it!  All of your others look great too.  Thanks for taking the time/effort to share them!  

Elizabeth, it sounds like you had a good, productive day, thanks for sharing about it.  And Joseph, your amaryllis are so amazing!  Thanks for those too.  Delicious, hah!  

Just for fun, here's a couple of pics of a teeeny, tiny baby Hoodia that self-sowed at the base of the parents last year, it's making slow, steady progress.  I'll definitely post here Mo and all, if it makes seed again.  Happy houseplanting all!

I just want to say I know these is not the site to say this ( don't know which site to use) I have had a busy afternoon w/ hubby in the yard ,can't hold out to do too much but did about 2 hrs. will pay tomorrow. Planted up 4 pots of Amaryllis,3 more big pots of Caladiums, pulled tons of weeds, got my 2 BIG Mandevilla's potted w/ trellis, A nice man gave me 2 big chunks of tree that look like stumps so we placed them where I want my Fairy and Gnome gardens "I promise I will get them done soon if we don't get washed away by rain. Just wanted to let you all know we are finally getting a little accomplished WHEW !!!!
