Other Plants
- Zinnias that Angel started in pots from seed. When you buy from Park Seed, they throw in a random free packet of seeds with your order. This year it was Zinnias.
- Morning Glory. These grew wild in the garden at the end of the season last year. We loved them, and I saved the seeds they produced. I'm unsure if they will germinate, but they are in dirt.
- Japanese Red Maple Tree...it's a little over a year old, Angel got it from her mom's yard. She has a red maple and the seeds often germinate. Angel has been tending it in the greenhouse all winter.
- Wandering Jew, a plant we've had for many years. I can't remember where it came from, but I know that it was given to Angel. It has survived 3 or 4 moves. It dies back in winter but grows fast and constantly once it gets warm.
- Finally, I have two plants that I have no clue about. If you know what they are, please tell me. Pictures below...

This one was in a gift basket I got last summer during my hospital stay. |

We received this plant as first time visitors to Mechanicsvill UMC |
The first is swedish Ivy and the second is either Pathos of heart-leaf philodendron. Chaz, my local floriculture expert helped me out. :-)
ReplyDeletethe purple plant came from Mr.Jimmy and Marvella. Marvella said the Parkinson's was making it too difficult to tend her plants; she's had it for a long time and wanted me to take over caring for it. i don't know if it is technically a "wandering Jew" but it has become one
