Your plants look so healthy. I have two that I just cant seem to kill. lol One I bought when I was working back in 2000 and the other I bought not long after Keith and I got married 20 years ago (that one is in a hanging basket over my sink and the other is just in a pot that sits on top of my fridge). I'm not sure of the name of my plants they are both green and some leaves have white running through them. OK I had to go search what they are, Pothos. lol http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/houseplants/types/scindapus.cfm

TYVM Shirla! And that Palm? It was my Mothers',she had it since I graduated high school,and when she died I liberated it from my parents house [my Dad hated plants]It really has age on it.I have to keep trimmimg back the roots,if I let that puppy grow unchecked I need higher ceilings and a bigger house :o)Oh,so wait...I can date that plant to 1979,so it turns 30 this year !

You have the weirdest plants... growing in the dead of winter, African violets that bloom if you so much as snap your fingers... Jeez Ma, you were green before it was fashionable!

Stevie! Hi honey,and thanks,I never thought the guys really noticed the plants,except for when Dad teases me about my jungle,or Tony gets mad cause I "showered" the asparagus fern and left it in there by accident :X Boo always noticed,she'll have "the thumb" when she's older.

You live in a jungle!! I've finally braved the plant thing and bought a small succulent garden and it's still alive and been repotted so maybe I'm on the right path. Though I did kill a cactus...rofl. I think I overwatered.

And BTW, the subtitle under 'Dish' cracked me up...hahahaha.

YAY!!! Dawn,I was wondering who would notice that first :o)
