Other Plants
  • Zinnias that Angel started in pots from seed.  When you buy from Park Seed, they throw in a random free packet of seeds with your order.  This year it was Zinnias.
  • Morning Glory.  These grew wild in the garden at the end of the season last year.  We loved them, and I saved the seeds they produced.  I'm unsure if they will germinate, but they are in dirt.
  • Japanese Red Maple Tree...it's a little over a year old, Angel got it from her mom's yard.  She has a red maple and the seeds often germinate.  Angel has been tending it in the greenhouse all winter.
  • Wandering Jew, a plant we've had for many years.  I can't remember where it came from, but I know that it was given to Angel. It has survived 3 or 4 moves.  It dies back in winter but grows fast and constantly once it gets warm.
  • Finally, I have two plants that I have no clue about.  If you know what they are, please tell me.  Pictures below...
  • This one was in a gift basket I got last summer during my hospital stay.

We received this plant as first time visitors to Mechanicsvill UMC

  1. The first is swedish Ivy and the second is either Pathos of heart-leaf philodendron. Chaz, my local floriculture expert helped me out. :-)

  2. the purple plant came from Mr.Jimmy and Marvella. Marvella said the Parkinson's was making it too difficult to tend her plants; she's had it for a long time and wanted me to take over caring for it. i don't know if it is technically a "wandering Jew" but it has become one
