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 !!!!

Elizabeth, if you see the flower stalk coming up don't cut, but the leaves if you want to make tidy!

Thank you everyone for the nice comments on my tulips!

Here are some of the smaller plants that moved to the new "craft room/office. Please ignore any mess on bottom of pic as there is still things scattered every where. I'm slowly finding a path again. You can see all the metal shelves lined up.

Well the baby spiders aren't potted up yet they are still treading water in the salad box in the kitchen. Things have been crazy this week, worked long hours Wed. so had to recouperate some. Been moving the rooms/should say junk from one room to the other and other room's stuff to the other and old apple boxes out of here again. I found a new metal shelf at consignment shop that matches 3 other ones I have so started the move last Friday night about 10 PM til 3 or 4 AM then more late night, early mornings all week. Here is the old/new home for the Christmas cactus.
