Let me introduce some of my family

This is Stanley:

He is a bryophyllum probably daigremontianum but I'm not really sure. I obtained him about five years ago at the Indian international night. He's been pruned many times, and certainly spread his seed. I would say there are probably twenty or so little Stanleys running around GF and beyond. Since the move to our new basement place he's been pretty laid back because he's so big he doesn't fit well into the window and doesn't get all the light he needs. He recently moved into the bathroom. I just found out that bryophyllum can get beautiful pink flowers! So, my goal this summer is for Stanley to spread his wings a bit.

Next, meet Eoghan:

He is wood sorrel or Oxalis acetosella. He is too tall and leggy because he also doesn't get enough light. Actually these kinds of plants like to be crowded in a pot but you've got to work with what you've got. Needless to say he is very excited about summer.

Wow! Look how Lancelot has grown!
A couple years ago I blogged about this little fellow when he was just a wee babe. Now after a couple harsh winters he's well on his way to his first pollination! I can't find the genus and species but you get the idea.

STELLA!!!!

**update** Stella is a Peperomia argyreia (Watermelon Peperomia)

This plant is commonly known as the Watermelon Peperomia due to the close resemblence of the markings on its leaves to the fruit. Supported on long reddish petioles, the tear drop-shaped leaves are dark green and have silvery-gray stripes that radiate from the center.




So, I found out today that it's really difficult to find out what plants are if you don't know. Stella is still unknown and pretty sick. When I bought her she was about twice this size. I'm basically a terrible mother. But, there's hope. She recently repotted and I promised her we would start spending more quality time together. I think I can see her leaves perking up already!
