New plant (sort of)
Pineapple This pineapple was destined to be sold as a cut flower and eventually tossed, a fate I’ve hopefully saved it from (it may end up not being used as a cut flower and tossed anyway if it doesn’t work). … Continue reading
Sweet Bromeliad, bro.

Aechmea fasciata – Pretty picture, rambling post
Aechmea fasciata Last summer I got a written of Aechmea fasciata which had completely finished blooming. There were three good sized pups coming up and I figured I might as well give it a try. End of the summer bringing … Continue reading
Random pictures from the Toronto Zoo from December
These are some pictures I’d taken at the Toronto Zoo back in early December. Platycerium bifurcatum. Also note the Epipremnum aureum in the background taking on its mature split-leaf form that you’ll never see from one as a typical houseplant. … Continue reading

More new plants – Part 1

Moderately interesting plant event: Cryptanthus flowers
These are likely the least exciting flowers of any Bromeliad. The plant already had an offset when I bought it that I successfully removed and repotted that hasn’t done much (including die, which I count as a plus). The mother … Continue reading
Pretty Plants at the Toronto Zoo
I was at the Toronto Zoo on Tuesday April 27th. It was a little on the chilly side but there were few people around so on the whole it was a great day. Some fantastic looking Tulips at their peak. … Continue reading
