Should I call this my Great Horned Owl??? I had one of these stalks come up about 2 months ago, and since then, a few more have slowly popped out. I count 7 now. The flowers are teeny-tiny, and fall off rather quickly, then you are just left with the stalks! This is the first time one of my Fittonias have bloomed and it is kinda fun to watch!
Update on Dec. 5, 2008...I am entering this photo in a contest over at Life On The Balcony. It is definately my favorite indoor houseplant!
hey! woo hoo! it is an amazing feeling when a houseplant blooms!
ReplyDeletehave you ever seen an aloe bloom? or a howorthia? they are very similar only very skinny!
my fittonia is DEAD....you are so lucky!
oh and by the way,..I thought you were supposed to be relaxing today?
That is a BEAUTIFUL Plant! I would love to see the little Flowers it creates!
ReplyDeleteI've always liked fitonia... I used to have one in a terrarium. I'm afraid that's the only way I can keep them alive, they need the extra humidity here. I think I remember you buying that pot a while ago...
ReplyDeleteWow. that looks really neat in the owl planter! You sure have a knack for this.
