If are able to revive that dead looking angel wing begonia, then I'll know for sure that you're a miracle worker:)<br /><br />Your husband's rabbit foot fern is simply amazing. Luv it.<br /><br />The photo with the melting ice and blue sky is something special. It's my favorite photo out of the entire group. <br /><br />donnadonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950476333013336671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-40426242816734794552010-02-17T19:06:01.175-06:002010-02-17T19:06:01.175-06:00You have a big collection of houseplants.

My family has to read this post and then maybe they'll stop giving out to me for all the plants cluttering up this place- WHICH I have to say are rather fewer than yours!! And tell you something else- consider yourself licky you live on another continent or I'd be over there taking cuttings and slips and prodding at everything! You have a lovely variety and I've so enjoyed looking at them all. <br />Btw, I've kept agapanthus for nearly ten years, sometimes in, sometimes out and they have multiplied a lot! Also they flower every year, sometimes better than others, white and blue, but I don't know the variety as I dug them up from FIL's garden before we left East Africa!Hecketyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065779986583259061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-20598114695599771282010-02-17T14:18:36.582-06:002010-02-17T14:18:36.582-06:00Sue, I love your collection of much loved and she...Sue, I love your collection of much loved and sheltered house plants...but boy oh boy...I really liked the garden window I saw in one of the photos...I would love one in a kitchen...perfect for herbs!

I've never thought about trying to overwinter an Agapanthus indoors.
