My patio tomato plant that I have high hopes for.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

I love plants…I think they make a home look more fresh, and alive.\u00c2\u00a0 I have a few treasured ones that I’ve had for years.\u00c2\u00a0 My 3 african violets are still constant bloomers.\u00c2\u00a0 I have a baby spider plant that my sister-in-law gave me and it’s sprouting new baby fronds all over.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

The christmas cactus that I *think* I got from my mother-in-law actually wasn’t doing well at our old house.\u00c2\u00a0 So, I took some of the healthier looking pieces and I’ve rooted them in 2 pots.\u00c2\u00a0 Hoping they survive (so far so good).\u00c2\u00a0 I had two other large plants, don’t know the name, but they’re extremely easy to root from clippings, so I currently have one growing crazy roots in water on my kitchen counter.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

I remember doing a whole post on this clover plant.\u00c2\u00a0 We had wild clover growing behind our last, last house (we were there from ’01-’04) and I pulled up some to pot.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s always done well, and seems to LOVE it here.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s busting out all over the place!\u00c2\u00a0 And, see the aloe plant?\u00c2\u00a0 I used to have a huge aloe plant in a pot, and it got so big that it was actually dying.\u00c2\u00a0 One day, I noticed a little new sprig growing in the side of the container.\u00c2\u00a0 So, I pitched the big one and potted the sprig.\u00c2\u00a0 :)<\/p>\n

There are some lovely plants in the yard of our rental house.\u00c2\u00a0 I was surprised and delighted to realize that there were 2 gardenia bushes at the front door.\u00c2\u00a0 They smell SO amazing.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Don’t know what this is, but the leaves looked so pretty right after a rain shower.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Caught this blooming in the backyard.\u00c2\u00a0 No idea what it is, but it’s pretty.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are lots more flowers at our rental house, I’ll have to take a few more pictures.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

While we’re back in Jax visiting, my plan is to bring back some of my other plants that didn’t fit in the truck the first time.\u00c2\u00a0 My lemon tree, small palm tree, and my geraniums.\u00c2\u00a0 Having my plants, especially the ones I’ve had forever, makes me feel more at home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
