Weekend at Home

After the weekend in Chico, we decided to spend the next weekend at home. For me, that means pottering about with my plants.

This odontoglossum to the right was a gift from a friend when I lived in LA. Its a very easygoing orchid, but smells like tete de moine cheese when its blooming.

I've got two buckets of epidendrums that were rescues about a year or two ago, that are now blooming in full force. They were discards from a neighbor's front-yard remodel. (we went under cover of darkness to liberate them from the trash pile.)

In other news, the valentine's day roses are finally well and truly dead. I'm surprised how long they held out. 6 months. A brief sunny spell finished them off.
