Greenhouse Liberated

With the Cabbage Palm moved to the arboretum, the plants in the NE corner of the greenhouse have room to breathe. 

The plant I thought was a Philodendron Xanadu, previously buried behind the giant cabbage palm, now has the corner to itself and is blooming. And may be an Acanthus mollis, although those flowers are not fragrant and these sure are. But maybe something else in that corner is perfuming the room. I'll check and report later

Flowers of the P. Xanadu

Even the owl is now visible

 This tree still reaches the ceiling, but now its flowers can be seen. And possibly these are the flowers that are so very fragrant in the corner.

This epi is not in that corner, but it seems more visible  anyway.

This cymbidium is on its fifth stalk of flowers this winter and is happy to be free of the giant palm hovering over that entire end of the greenhouse.

Outdoors is not yet as happy a story. Overnight, wind broke the tallest piece of the cabbage palm so we made more pieces and root toned them. Johnny tied blue flags (old t-shirts) around the tree pieces and their stabilizing fence posts. It's not a beautiful grove of palms yet but we have hopes...


Nearby, the Camas is just beginning to bloom... lifting everyone's spirits.
