Here are mine this month.

I have a nice collection of house plants that make me happy when I can't be outside in the garden.

Ooh does anyone have one of those that look like purple velvet? Those are gorgeous cactuses!

My great grandma always would ask people for a "slip" of their plants to start her own. Even at stores or restaurants.

Sarah, my MIL always said that, too. How neat. My grandmother had a beautiful Christmas cactus. It did bloom at Christmas, too. Bright red. I wish I had one like it now. Diana, yours are beautiful. If I could get pictures on here I would. But I am computer dumb. I do have a shamrock that blooms white and a fern and a climbing thing that's my DD's but she wants to keep it here. I love plants in the house.

We did have some of those purple velvety ones, I think they make have taken one for the team in the move to the farm though. Dh grabbed it as a slip from the greenhouses at MSU while he was there 20 years ago. When we first met his whole apartment was full of houseplants. I'll grab a couple pics of our faves now.

I love my double flowering impatiens. Right now they are not in bloom but they are buds so it won't be long. Then I will take a picture...

I got an big Christmas cactus from a friend who inherited it from his Mom. Somehow Impatiens got in the pot and the two are living together happily. The Impatiens are blooming now. I'm trying to get used to a new camera and learn how to post pictures. Hope to do that soon.
