Northern Jungle

Some people rescue labradors, stray cats, children in Africa... I rescue house plants.

My latest conquest was this beaut reduced for quick sale at MD Nursery in Driggs. It was overgrown in it's sad little plastic pot. Despite a stare down from a sickly Wandering Jew, I picked up the Calathea and ran.



When Catherine and CD visited, they gave me a beautiful Schefflera, one of my favorites. It was healthy, but it's home was a bland, temporary basket. It too, was bursting at the seams.






I dressed up terra cotta pots with some paint and hauled my bag o' dirt out to the garage. It was there, that my plants were officially rescued.
