This is WINTER. Its gets colder, it gets darker; things turn grey, and wither. Or they hibernate, or die back, or even end their little annual cycles, and perish. It is most certainly not make little cheery flowers season. We all seem to be a little confused about this around here.
The indoor sun shoppe in Fremont is one of our all time favorites. They specialize in orchids, tillandsias, carnivorous plants, and they have a large selection of generic tropical plants too, tucked away in the back somewhere. Our most recent purchases include three miniature orchids. Somewhere along the way, without realizing it, we became orchid people. Maybe it's the natural evolution of all of us phytophiles.
