They’re in special, multi-piece, glazed ceramic pots. Der Prinz grows them, and you know how guys are about Gear - they can’t just put a plant in a pot! Anoreth has one in her room that’s holding its own, but it’s not covered with flowers like his.
I just spotted Shannon on top of the lizard cage, but she jumped down when she saw me looking! DP and Tom have gone to get the snake from her guest home. They’d have kept her until tomorrow, but he really wants to see her!
On Thursday afternoon, Tom met a lady on the beach with a parrot, and the parrot was crazy about him. It sat on his shoulder for most of an hour, nibbling at his shirt and ears and saying, “Hello!” over and over. The owner said she’d never seen the parrot take to someone like that.
Tom has a gift with animals.
How wonderful!
LOL!
I would love to have a parrot, but I think at this date, it would still be “young” when I died.
Redhead has an African gray, but I would settle for a macaw. Or something smaller. However, I have four parakeets, who may live another 20 years, so I won’t complain.
If they're like what my gramma made, those would be the bowl-shaped ones with a removable pot that sets into it so the water can drain all the way through the pot and out into the bottom of the bowl. The pot sits up an inch or more, so the plants get all the water they want need but the roots aren't left soaking in a pool of it all the time.
IIRC, African violets do not do well if their roots get left to soak. As a tropical, they like the water to run through, and then go away, leaving the soil moist but breathable.
