Aloha!

Greg and I just returned from ten days on Kauai and we’re slowly adjusting to a cruel lack of sunshine, maitais, and the gentle smell of plumeria on the air. It’s cold and rainy in Portland. 
I gave in at the airport and bought this tree fern (Cibotium splendens) and popped it in a weirdly wonderful pot I found at Digs.

I think it looks like the Grinch without his hat on. I’ve set it up in the bathroom where it should get the humidity it likes. Anybody have any luck growing one of these?

I’ll be back online with garden tours soon!

    Oh, I haven't been to Kauai in more than 5 years now but the mere mention makes me miss it. I'll be interested to see your vacation posts!

    Welcome back Heather! Great pot and plant and perfect placement for being watered twice a day. How's Greg's aim?
