NUESTRA LANZA AFRICANA [Sansevieria cilíndrica] (haz clic aquí para 2013, aquí para 2014, y aquí para 2015) está prosperando y se está apoderando de la salón. Floreció por primera vez dos años después de que lo trajimos a casa y, después de dos años más, acaba de terminar otro impresionante ciclo de floración. Me siento obligado a compartir la dulce fragancia contigo. Entonces, aquí está mi publicación de Rascar Y Oler (Scratch 'n' Sniff). Y tan pronto como reúna la energía (y compro un soporte de maceta con ruedas) la moveré a la terraza.

| MOOSE SCRATCHED. MOOSE SE RASCÓ. |

| I SNIFFED. YO OLÍ. |

| FOUR YEARS AGO, THIS WAS A TINY TABLE PLANT WITH 9 SPEARS. HACE CUATRO AÑOS, ESTA ERA UNA PLANTA DE MESA PEQUEÑA CON 9 LANZAS. |
I'm scratching and scratching but I don't smell anything!!??!!!
ReplyDeleteBob:
DeleteYou're supposed to scratch and SNIFF, not scratch and SCRATCH.
Does this mean you can smell again? Love that plant.
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteThe "smeller" has never stopped working. But the flowering and fragrance were at their best BEFORE I got sick.
Impressive!
ReplyDeleteDebra:
DeleteAnd done for another 2 years!
Well....you must certainly have a green thumb. Looks beautiful.
ReplyDeletemistress maddie:
DeleteThese plants are just about impossible to kill.
I was going to say to Bob something crass about sniffing his fingers instead of the screen, but, being a lady, I will refrain! That is one impressive plant! The only houseplants I'm able to grow are Golden Pothos, so my entire house looks like a doctor's office. I killed a cactus, for crying in a bucket! Plants just off themselves in my car on the way home, to make the deaths quick.
ReplyDeleteDeedles:
DeleteSnake plants are I think even harder to kill than pothos. But you can try! So glad you decided against saying anything crass!
A beautiful plant. I love your terrace so much, what a nice place for that plant to live (or me...can I come stay?) lol
ReplyDeleteCheapchick,
DeleteWe got rid of our chaise lounges but I’ve been thinking of getting something new for siestas. I’ll let you know when it’s furnished for you.
"...here's my Scratch 'n' Sniff post"
ReplyDeleteAnd indeed there is a scratching post!
Kirk,
DeleteAnd even I missed that!
Is Moosey doing some self-grooming or is it time for those nasty flea drops?
ReplyDeleteRay beard,
DeleteNo fleas since we adopted them. Great grooming!
Funny what a little tlc and sunshine can do.... I think I remember sunshine...
ReplyDeleteWillym,
DeleteThis is a plant that even thrives without tlc.
Impressive ! We have one houseplant...an aspidistra! 34 years old
ReplyDeleteJohn,
DeleteMy mother had house plants that were than 50 years old. We haven’t lived anyplace long enough! Plants made moves with us over the years but nothing from across the ocean.
what does the flower smell like?
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie,
DeleteSweet, refreshing, surprisingly strong. Although not cloyingly sweet like narcissus.
You mean the cats didn't destroy it?
ReplyDeleteAdam,
DeleteWe’ve had few plant problems with the cats except for their first year with us.
Is it the kind of plant that is divisible so you can have like twenty or thirty of them around in a few years? I'm only half kidding...
ReplyDeleteWalt the Fourth,
DeleteOh yeah. I could fill the house easily. Just separate a stalk and stick it in soil.
Don't most of these exotic plants grow wild in their natural habitat? You better move it soon as it seems to like it at your place.
ReplyDeleteJim,
DeleteAnd I had the brilliant idea to get elegant ceramic pots for the plants inside. Now I can’t lift the suckers!
