A happy house is filled with plants.

And love, of course.

Anyway, I have a few new plants and I've been lazy with updating. I will - after the new plants - show a few of my favorite plants doing plant things.

H. pottsii sp. 'Chiang Mai'. I have a soft spot for Hoyas that have Chinese sounding names.

H. sp 910307. The leaves are big! A good 5 inches.

H. pubicalyx 'Bright One'. The yellow leaf concerns me, and it's outside for right now.

All three!
Euphorbia suzannae. To replace the deceased Mama.
OK, that's it for new plants. Onto plants doing plant things.

Catalina the Anthurium has huge leaves. Bigger than my hand! (This is why I haven't completely gone overboard with the Hoyas...I love the big leaves of Aroids.)

After a slight hiccup, Lil the Ledebouria socialis is happily offsetting. Phil is too - I think he's got three coming in.

Remember Amelia? I should never have potted her up when I got her in March. Hopefully she likes this smaller pot.

Excuse my messy background. Jazzy the Jasmine sambac has been a consistent bloomer for me. This time, she smelled so good, she made me turn to face her. I was on the computer and I said, "Is that Jazzy?" It sure was.

Horrible picture, but my Chlorophytum laxum is flowering! What cute little flowers. They don't last long, though.

What do I see here? Nematanthus 'Tropicana' is hoping to bloom soon!

This is not only my favorite gesneriad from my initial Violet Barn order, but this has also been my best grower.

And look at the underside of its leaves! I am in love.
And now I'll leave you with pictures of my (current) favorite Hoya, H. fitchii. (Acquired April 2012):

He is growing like crazy. I brought him inside because he had a ton of flies dead in the soil. (?!)

Just gorgeous leaves.
