Foliage Follow Up

The day after Garden Bloggers Bloom Day is becoming known as Foliage Follow Up (thanks to Pam at Digging).  Since it's snowing outside (and since I posted all of by not-dried-up-dead-looking outdoor foliage yesterday) I went around the house with my camera.  Wow.  I really pick houseplants for foliage!  I like blooming houseplants but most of mine don't bloom and many of those have interesting variegation.  I have posted scientific names where I can find them, unfortunately most houseplants come without names.  Those plants, if I can't identify them, get named George (unless I follow in Carol's footsteps and name them myself, although all of the Genus designations are real). 

Here's George II.  From above he has dark leaves with a hint of purple but when back lit and observed from below - love those veins!

This is a trailing ficus (Ficus trailingus).

Here is an umbrella plant (Schefflera variagata var. hopefullydwarfii).

This Croton came to me as Banana Fingers. 

Here's my Cuban Oregano (a nice passalong plant)

This is  possibly a Pothos.

I think this one is in the Aloe family.  You can see where it got beat up when The Husband wasn't careful about closing the blinds (it's in your vows, honey, everything is your fault, remember?).

Here's a beautiful golden leaved philodendron.  It's so nice I took two pictures.

This Pepperomia is also a passalong plant.  Looks like it needs a shower. It's upstairs and since our upstairs shower leaks it doesn't get washed as often as the downstairs plants.

This was a fun find.  I saw this for sale at a Big Box Retailer and snatched it up.  It took a while to find online but I did - it's a Rhipsalis, not found for sale very often but what a great plant.  I'm starting a list of people who want divisions when it gets big enough.

Lastly a humble Spider Plant (Chlorophytum).  This one was sold as Curly Sue.  She's not really humble.

Whew.  Finally got the Italics turned off.  I'm not sure why it won't let me type that middle section in normal script.  Gotta love these free software applications.

GBBD follow-up:  Thanks to everyone for the nice comments yesterday.  I didn't realize anyone beside The Husband, The Mom and The Best Friend From Grad School actually read my blog.  Wow.  I guess I'd better start coming up with more interesting content and actually break out the tripod and take better pictures!
