Coventry Meeting is the proud owner of a long lived and bounteous Christmas
Cactus. If I had known this thread was starting I would have taken a
picture when I was there today (gas servicing) and yesterday (Kitchen water
heater).
These things seem well suited much of the year they are plain and then they
blossom forth. Like Esther's plants, I think they thrive on neglect. The
one person who appeared to take an interest put a notice on it saying Keep
Off (or something).
On an almost related subject a while ago when we were discussing the garden
with a garden designer we said one of the features we wanted was 'something
pretty to pick for the table in the centre of the room' all the year around.

Hello,
Happy New Year to all!
I've been informed by my calendar that today is Houseplant Appreciation
Day. No, I'd not realised there was such a thing either... When I mentioned
this to a gardening friend she said her local garden centre was busy
celebrating Houseplant Week all week.
Several of the buildings I manage do have plants inside - in one instance
cared for by the nursery who involved the children in watering and potting
up spider plants and bulbs to take home. Kingston QMH has a tree inside
which is looked after by the gardening group.
So my question to you all is does your building have plants inside?
If so, who looks after them?
If not - would you like any?
Yours in peace,
Wendrie Heywood
