86 plants...that is awesome. We have about the same give or take. When they get out of control, they get moved outside...or we figure out more space to keep them inside. I look forward to checking out your blog as time goes on. Matti

When I was at the GPC for "Sweet Saturdays" they had a table set up where they were selling off plants they've propagated at the conservatory. I had the urge to tweet you the names and prices of the plants, but figured that may get old real quick.

So, I decided to wait 'til the end of the day and write the names down of the rare plants and Email you the list, but by the end of the day all the cool plants had been sold.

If you want...next Saturday I'll tweet you if I see anything that looks interesting.

Wow! I'd never keep up with the watering of this many plants! I'm afraid I am house-plant challenged, but I've seen so many pretty African violets on different posts that I'm really tempted to go out and buy a few just to add some greenery here. I've never been a fan of sansevierias either, but I have to admit I like yours.

86 is nothing to sneeze at! Looks like you've got a great place for growing them, too. Now you need to add a Kangaroo Fern to the mix. LOL.

You have a perfect place for houseplants. I go thru phases where I will collect several houseplants then I lose interest and give them away. Mostly the cats limit my indoor plants. They refuse to leave them alone.

Thanks for commenting on my houseplants, Diane - and wow! You've got twice as many in those wonderful corner windows
DH chose LOST over Groundhog Day this year so we'll have to bump it to the weekend.

I hesitate to feed your addiction, but a few years ago my husband figured out a way to fit a lot more plants on our breakfast room windowsill ;-]

Groundhog Day is a favorite around here too. The other half often says "Don't drive angry" right out of the scene in your picture.
You really have the touch with houseplants. That's a great plant room you've got there.

Heck, even if you've only seen the movie once, you've seen it like 4 times (which, admittedly, was more than enough for me personally!). Do love Cher, though. :) My you have a lot of houseplants. Even *including* plants that I put outside over summer and am really only overwintering inside (rosemary, garlic chives, elephant ears, 2 amaryllises, a paperwhite, a nandina baby shrub not hardy in my zone, and 2 Norfolk Island pines), I have a total of (wait for it) 13.5 houseplants (half is a dying African violet). Whew!

Groundhog Day is a big favorite around here too. I grew up near Woodstock & used to go there often, so it's fun to watch for that aspect too. I think Woodstock Willie won't see his shadow today.
Thanks for participating in the census. 86 sounds like a lot to me. I can see why you like the Bowiea (aside from the name), it's really funky. Maybe I should send my African violets to you. I'm sure they'd be much happier.

It's great you have so many! I wish I had room...

It's great you have so many! I wish I had room for over 80 houseplants! And you're also lucky to have the touch with African violets. I think they're pretty but inevitably I kill them.

What fun! Nice post! You have plenty of fresh air at your house! Isn't it great that there are plants for everyone and that we CAN change our minds, over time, about what we like and don't like? ;-)

Wow! That's a a true commitment! I am incredibly impressed! gail
