My Box of Goodies From Joe

[Broke Down Ranch]

Wow Joe! You really know how to pack a box! The goodie box arrived today but I haven't had any computer time until now. Everything is planted and of course they look like they are very unhappy. Hoping they pull thru the shock Everything looked beautiful until the Texas air hit them

Anyway, here are pics - THANK YOU JOE!!!!!

This one had me worried

It was just a harmless cactus (what kind tho? )

These are the plants I'm not sure what they are...? I figured out the fern when I unwrapped the roots but the rest is somewhat of a mystery....

I have the one begonia leaf with stem in water as well as the other leaf with some of the leaf matter cut away (maybe it'll root?). I am wondering if I can get any of the other leaves that broke off during shipping to root? I'm thinking maybe yes on the succulent-type ones.....

I forgot to get a pic of the roll of wire Joe also sent for making my own plant hanger. Or perhaps he sent it accidently.....

Come on Joe... better labelling! I want to know what these things are too now!!!!

LOL

Thanks for sharing! Now the man has to live up to his reputation! LOL

and the other succulent i dont remember what its called
and a cactus
and a barbie

Do you notice how Barbie's hair is so much more manageable in Texas than when she was in Florida?

That might be the solution to the Hair-rendous days you talk about Joe!

LOL

 

[beefy]

i was just noticing that. i wonder what kind of conditioner she uses?

 

[Broke Down Ranch]

Ron, you are certifiable! If Texas air is supposed to be good for the hair I would surely HATE to see what mine would look like elsewhere!

That Barbie belongs to the 2 helpers I had:




Robert, who just wanted to say "CHEEEE!"

And Emily, who was telling me the names of all the plants:

Well this post just about covers it! Good job beefy.
I am not sure of the Cactus name, but it blooms real pretty and looks nice as just a plant.

Ron that was very funny, Eby asks, "Why does Ron have Barbies?"

I thought if I did not label them it would create more conversation.
There is some Mother of Thousands. Every leaf, no, every part of the leaf will root! Some leaves were p
ut in there for rooting.

I thought I put in a rooted Angelwing cutting!

Cristal I must concur "Ron, you are certifiable! " you make it fun bro!

Joe

Oh and the kids, how adorable, you are blessed. I hope they helped you plant them.

What are the bulbs? There are a couple of larger ones and a couple of bitty ones....

And COOL on the Mother of Thousands! The only ones of those I have seen had the broader-shaped leaves. And I think you did send a rooted Angelwing cutting - it's the one wrapped in newspaper with only a stem poking up, yes? OH, I wanted to ask - should I try to root these in water or would they do better dipped in hormones and stuck in soil? The bagonia I got from the hospital still has not rooted and I'm afraid they will start rotting....

One more thing - my little helpers were more interested in having their pictures taken! LOL, once the camera got put away, they disappeared. Good help is hard to find
