Plant Rehab Continues.

I am planting a few more succulents I have rescued from my visit to the store. I have done the potting most and had three more, and I think that is all for this summer/fall of 2018.  

I have created almost like an altar for my crazy collection of plants. I am enjoying them very thoroughly. I can't wait to record the progress of these tiny plants in the future. I hope I won't put them to rest! 

I am beginning to enjoy my morning walks, and they are just around my neighborhood. I am so happy that I can walk without excruciating pain in my legs. Each week I am adding a bit more to my morning walk like walking around another block or training to carry weights less than 5 lbs. 

I am also noticing the nature.  How some individuals have gone out of the way to take care of their gardens. I am fortunate to friends with a few expert gardeners in the town. 

I have so much work in our garden to get done during this fall, and I genuinely think I can if I can make more progress on my health. I couldn't help myself today by taking a few of these pictures during my walk. The cactuses called me to stop and adore them, and that is what I exactly did here. Morning glories are so beautiful and peaking them through the white picket fence was like out of this world. How could anyone past them not capture their delicate beauty? Nature has its way of healing, and I cannot walk by not taking it entirely. 

Indoor Plants

I developed a love of planting when I was very young. It all started way back in Sri Lanka. I remember when I left my home I had collected many including outdoor and indoor plants. I would rotate them by bringing them inside. When I moved to the US, I began to answer this nature calling by taking a few cuttings from a parent dinner night from a former student, and the rest was history. I went to a creating a jungle. I recall that I moved with my plant collection. My son used to enjoy watering the plants when I stick them outside for summer. Then I had to make this big move from VA to NY - Long Island I gave my jungle away to friends and family. I decided never to have any house plants it was hard, I had a great collection of African violets, and they died due to my traveling.  

I am rekindling my love for plants for the past few years. I have a tiny collection some I keep at work and some I stay at home. I mainly take care of rehab plants in other words plants that need some attention. However, I have also purchased a few. I hope I won't get too crazy about my interest in plants. 

To my surprise, I find my daughter wants to keep a couple in her room, and how could I resist her interest. Well, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. Here I am rooting/ rehabilitating a few succulents, Devil's ivy (Epipremnum), and Silver Pothos, (Pothos Argenteus) are a handful of  ubiquitous houseplants.
