| The bloomin yuccas out in front of the house |
 |
| In the left window, you can see the pawpaw seedlings, placed inside since once some of them germinated, I remembered that direct sunlight is bad for pawpaw seedlings for about the first year. And they were getting direct sunlight all afternoon. |
 |
| Inside next to the window sill: a pawpaw seedling (on the right) and its ghostly neighbor (on the left). |
 |
| A few feet away: three "air plants" that some friends gave us. |
 |
| They don't have roots, and they just get their nutrients from photosynthesis and dust apparently. And they get their water from the 20 minute soaking we give them once a week. |
 |
| At first we kept them sitting in a saucer. Then we moved them to a bowl full of rocks--moqui marbles and so-called Apache tears. Then, since the plants don't have any roots, we got the idea to situate them so it looks like they're growing out of some sea shells we picked up in Indonesia. They look a lot like nautiluses now. |
