A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion New Members Returning Members... It's nearing spring here, So....

I'm back

My Garden is still gray from winter but I'm starting early this year ... I'll post photos soon(I know, I know... I said this before and the photos never turned up ).

I'll post them later today since it's 1:29 AM here and I got no idea why I am up

HI Mark !!! Good to see you again---cant wait to see the photos----

Welcome back! Can't wait to see those pictures!

I wish we were first coming into spring, instead of winding down summer - this time of year always makes me a bit depressed, as the days get shorter, and the growing season is coming to an end.

As Promised



My Amaryllis Patch.... Only a small sign of green so far

My Tree orchid(which is almost about to flower)


Little strands of Tree Orchids I had planted around the tree

wow Mark !! you have a great start to your season already !! and may I say I love the tree orchid----I have not ever heard of such as that before---please explain that to me--it sounds so cool.

It's basically a orchid that clings to the tree with its roots. I do squirt it with a hosepipe occasionally, That's basically all the care it requires :p I never actually tried to fertilize it. But I'm going to give it a shot this spring.
