(What is it? How long has it been there? Is it doing well? Etc.) Not everybody can be an indoor plant person.<br /><br />Spelling corrections:<br /><i>Aeschynanthus longicaulis</i><br /><i>Billbergia</i> 'Borracho'<br /><i>Columnea orientandina</i><br /><br />It was nice to meet you (and your husband) as well; I only wish the <i>Anthurium</i>s and <i>Schlumbergera</i>s had been putting on a better show -- you were a little too early for the former and too late for the latter. As impressive as the sea of foliage might be, it could have been more colorful. <br /><br />And yes, the power bill is . . . significant. The husband estimated about a year ago that the lights by themselves were costing us about $110 per month. I haven't checked his math on that, and kind of hope that it's not <i>that</i> extreme, but it's probably in the ballpark.mr_subjunctivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113199755474482747noreply@blogger.com
