Arboretum

During the "cold snap" a few days ago, my brother felt the need to bring in some of his more delicate plants in case the temperature dropped to actual freezing (it didn't). The living room is now filled with orchids all (except the chocolate one) blooming in red, lavender and white, a Christmas cactus (which is actually two in one pot. The pink one is through blooming but the red one has just started), and some other weird epiphytic cactus (apparently a Ric Rac or Fishbone cactus) hanging from the lanai door top and originally taken from a cutting and stuck in soil that now boasts multiple four foot long trailers of alternating shark's fin leaves.

They juxtapose strangely with the Christmas tree but it and the other decorations are starting to come down. Soon we'll be back to just jungle.
