I counted the pots - 32 of them. No wonder watering takes a while!
After the renovation I'm going to get a larger pot and try making a grouping from several of these. I did this last year and promptly killed almost everything, but I know what I did wrong now, so maybe this time I'll be successful. Bonus would be having fewer pots and plants to water!

Exciting things are happening with our outside plants this spring - Lori sent me some baby hosta plants from her garden, in hopes that I could grow them here. This is what they looked like late last October, when they arrived in the mail:
Not bad for having gone through the postal system in a padded envelope!
We planted them in a pot on the patio, under the eaves of the roof for shade. And then winter came and we had the hard freezes and this thing just disappeared. Poof, it was dead and gone...or so I thought:
I couldn't believe what I was seeing!
Every time I go check on them, the hostas are getting bigger and bigger! And luckily, thanks to being under the eaves, they didn't get beat up by the hail like the rest of my plants. Thanks, Lori - now I hope I can keep this baby from burning up in the Texas sun...
Speaking of dead plants, my Hawaiian Ti plant is coming back to life as well:
Color me shocked to see new leaves sprouting! I can see tiny bits of green on the other two stalks as well, so this one will likely get to stay in the front of the house instead of going to the Island of Misfit Plants.
Finally, here's my last happy discovery in plantland - three of our yuccas are getting a bloom stalk! This doesn't happen every year, and it's just a happy coincidence that three out of the four are going to bloom this year:
Pink blooms, no less! These are the easiest plants to grow here, and I keep telling Jeff we should forget 75% of everything else we try and just plant more yucca.
