Happy #FloralFriday , 6 March 2015
It’s 7°F/-14°C and I’m done with winter. Can we have some spring weather now? At least I can enjoy my new flowering maple. One of the orchids that I mentioned earlier has bloomed. It’s a tiny little flower, a bit larger than a US quarter but smaller than a 50 cent piece. We have one more bud on the bird of paradise.

Open house at Orchids by Hausermann 2015
We made it out to the open house at Orchids by Hausermann today. I think we missed the open house for a few years. I was happy to purchase a flowering maple (Abutilon) today. They had a really large one for many years but none for sale. This year we saw a few small plants and I had to have one. We picked up another un-potted cattleya. They are a bargain at $9.99 and smell wonderful when they bloom. We also took a chance on Epidendrum pseudoepidendrum which is the delicate orange and pink flower in the photos. The one we purchased has two buds (the one in the picture was a sample, not for sale). We also have some buds on our existing collection of orchids along with our bird of paradise. I’m looking forward to trying to propagate the flowering maple.

I’m at Hausermann’s looking for Orchids.
A little 80s for #MusicMonday .
I wish I would have seen Devo live back in the 80s.
