Greenhouse Progress Update

The greenhouse is finished but I'm still playing inside with stuff from the basement, attic, and other crannies of the house.  Here's what's happening.

From the mannequin collection in the basement cam this lovely gal.

I was thinking of painting her blue with  red roses.  (You know the song, "Red Roses for a Blue Lady") but maybe she'd make a nice mosaic project for the winter (still blue with red roses.)


On the other hand, there is beauty in the simplicity of the white form.  Ideas?

The faces on top of the door have been kicking around the garage since I found them on sale many years ago and the ornament above the door is one that had been in the basement for a long time.  


I found some Spanish Moss at Valley Nursery.  Jean, we were talking about the garage door and are going to try those lightweight "space blankets" that provide a lot of insulation. They're flexible so we could velcro them to the door and still use it if we wanted to. What do you think?
 The clumps could be divided to make more but for right now I threw them up on existing nails.  

This wire cupcake server was on the way back to Goodwill, where I bought it for the insects that someone had wired to it.  When one of the tillandsia/jade trees (see below) got broken, I decided to use this for the now homeless tillandsias.





Speaking of tillandsias, my teaching partner, Julie, got me this cool tillandsia ball for my birthday.  It's hanging from a branch of the big brugmansia.  Do I have a cool co worker, AKA my work wife, or what?

The brugmansias are still blooming.


Grevellia 'Ned Kelley' is starting another flush of bloom. 

In case you were wondering about those legs from last Monday, They're now filled with Senecio rowleyanus  AKA String of Pearls plant and joined by a bust also from the basement mannequin collection.

Happy new week!
