    My bay window has an older tv stand -- the big kind and I have my plants all on that plus the overflow with two hanging ones and 2 on an end table. My mother lost all her plants in the flood in Minot, ND and I told her when they get back into a FEMA trailer she can have some of mine. That's where some of them came from in the first place. So giving her something to grow in the new home for as long as they can live there. They are 85 soon 86 and 80 soon 81. They told me they plan on getting into a low income 2 bedroom apt when they have to move out of the FEMA trailer. She needs the spare room to sew in. She does a lot of sewing.

    Sigh...I go through this every year. Right now I have 2 tree hibiscus, 2 bush hibiscus, 3 variegated willow trees, 3 bay trees, 2 flowering maples-I may have forgotten something. All have to come in and winter over somewhere between the bay windows in the living and dining rooms and the sliding glass door in the family room. The one willow is HUGE after it's summer in the sun. Some of these plants have lived with me for years...sigh...

    I love house plants but have a limited place to keep them in winter. I have a hoya plant also that I have been babbying. I hoe it blooms someday.

    I just got a grow light on Amazon for my African violets. I'm putting them all in my sewing room b/c my sweet little Mabel eats them! My DH put a screen door in the room for me.
    Your plants are gorgeous. I use to have tons of them until we got our little U-know-who!!
    But she's worth it :D:D
