That is a lovely remembrance of your Mom, Janet! Keep them growing!
I had an elephant ear plant for a good 30 years. Jessie was jealous of it when she was little because I was always telling her not to touch it! There was a good 3 foot piece of it in the corner of the living room, that she "accidentally" broke off! I was going to move the 3 or 4 plants that I loved, but as the movers were packing the moving van, I realized they wouldn't make it. I hope somebody else is taking care of them! I have 3 coleus plants that I brought inside for the winter, and one potted mint now. That's enough for inside since I am surrounded by growing things outside. My mother had coleus, and I love the colors.

It ended up with two blooms, but they've both fallen off now. Very pretty while they lasted. I'm hoping they'll bloom again when it gets closer to Christmas.

It must be a pretty small plant to only have two blooms. Dae Lynn's plant isn't very big but it's got at least 5 or 6 blooms now and many more to open.
Have you given it any fertilizer? I have some for orchids.....which I think helps them bloom so I've been watering with that. |

Yes..I have fertilizer, but these plants were left at Mom's unattended for a couple months. They are all doing so much better than they were. I'm most concerned with the philadendrum (sp) that Mom has kept since my Dad's funeral. I just don't want anything to happen to that one especially. I saw a hanging basket at Wal Mart filled with the cactus I have. I may go back and get it. The blooms were in white, pink and red. The reds were really beautiful.

That plant sounds beautiful, Janet! It must be very hardy. It has been around for quite a while.
