Good morning from Glacier National Park.

Two shows. Nearly 200 vendors. And enough plants, reptiles, fruit, aquatics, and everything in between to keep any nature lover busy all weekend. Palmer was there running his booth, while I was supposed to be promoting the International Aroid Society. In between working, we somehow found time to

Only 90 days until the Tropical Plant Expo. Have you bought your tickets yet?

Rooted in Colors Day 3. Do we love it or hate “Pink Rolli”? Also, if you’ve grown one, how quickly does it grow for you?!

Day 3 of Rooted in Color 🌈 You may know Tim Anderson for his Anthurium, but did you know he hybridized begonias too? Meet Begonia ‘Taconite’, a dark, moody begonia with burgundy backs and a cobalt blue sheen when light hits it. After many years, mine suddenly started showing silver spots, se

Today’s plant has spiky stems, red leaves, black flowers, and looks like it belongs in a goth garden. Today’s outfit had four different pairs of shoes before making it to the final cut. One of us is dramatic….I’m not sure which.

okay so every June I dress up every single day for Pride Month to show up for my community. since I never actually leave the house, I decided to just post it online instead, no matter how casual the look. This year I’m pairing each fit with a rainbow plant from my collection because I’m a plant
