For that matter, I've seen it thriving in Portland, but again, not sure if it's given winter protection.<br />Still, I'm in lust!

I'm definitely going to try and buy one next year, as I have no bamboo lying around.:(<br /><br />Stephanie:<br />The cactus bloom was so pretty, and I wish I coughed up the very reasonable sum for it... on a budget though.<br /><br />Flowerlady:<br />I'll be sure to share some more too! Thanks for the congrats!<br /><br />NanaK:<br />That's so nice of you to say! Apparently it was my rain garden that made the difference. I'll have to get one of those hangers too, and they'd look so nice on my balcony!<br /><br />Floridagirl:<br />I'm not sure on the name of the orchid, though I'm keeping an eye out. The sea islands of GA are really nice and quiet... my sister actually got married there! I hate it when broms are unnamed too, but go figure, the ones I bought from kanapaha were unlabeled but known to be cold hardy. Works for me!<br /><br />Susan:<br />On that website for almost ancient pots, she shows you how to make your own! Playing in the mud does sound fun to me...<br /><br />Julie:<br />I just love your description of the orchid picture, and that really is how it felt to me too. I was tempted to keep the background more blurry, but I wanted to give a sense of setting. That bamboo lantern you posted is so cool! It would look awesome surrounded by jungle plants and maybe with a little mist... it would be like a magical rainforest!

Great job, Steve!!!<br />BTW...those bamboo holders made me think of a bamboo lamp I bought at a craft show a few years ago and thought you might like to see it!

That last shot of the orchid cactus is just so amazing...hanging there like it is the only thing worth seeing in the whole world.

That bamboo orchid holder was a really cool idea. It seems like they're always coming up with something new.

I spent last weekend just north of Jacksonville, on a coastal island of Georgia. It is amazing that they seem to be in a very similar growing zone for the most part as my area, yet so much farther north. I did visit a nursery there and was tempted by a striking (though nameless as usual) bromeliad. It would have come home with me were it not so pricy. I do wish we had better plant shopping here in the valley.<br /><br />Congratulations on winning Garden of the Month! I have just popped over to the website and there your garden was! I do believe about 90% of my garden began life at Costa Farms, as that is the name I see on the tag of most of my plant purchases. I'm guessing they supply Wal-Mart and Lowe's.Floridagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16357453320897720393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288778153586473465.post-39655544702787009722010-10-05T10:37:25.685-04:002010-10-05T10:37:25.685-04:00Congratulations Steve!

So go ahead and keep the big head for a while. <br /><br />Thanks for the tour of the Kanapaha show. Great idea on the bamboo orchid hangers. I need to be on the lookout for something just like that now that I have more orchids.NanaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425496284594894548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288778153586473465.post-60860946311030599752010-10-05T07:07:18.578-04:002010-10-05T07:07:18.578-04:00Congrats on your garden of the month win.
