2010 Getting in the planting groove

Recovering nicely from two years of gardening neglect. Well, it was actually depression after my father-in-law died and I was no longer his caregiver. I didn't do much gardening outside but I did do some in the house.

Lost a couple African Violets but managed to bring a Poinsettia back to life. ha ha. The Poinsettias are at least two years old now. No red leaves but they don't need sun and are a nice green spot in the dining room.

Also nursed a spider plant back to full health. The two Trumpet Flower cuttings are now small potted plants on the kitchen window sill. Best of all, one of my orchids is going to bloom! Wow! I haven't had any orchids bloom since my father-in-law died. I am very happy.
