I just made my first two tables this weekend, but many of the plants I used had barely survived the brutality of summer in their little pots, so I will have to wait a while to see if they bounce back. Fingers crossed - one of my likely casualties was that little Arthropodium. I went ahead and planted whatever traces were left of it anyway. Ever the optimist... :)Anna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353084595743927603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-85323757192818157772017-09-22T23:30:25.719-07:002017-09-22T23:30:25.719-07:00OK, that's flat-out amazing.

Also, don't worry if your moss does not make it. I have found that dead moss is the perfect medium for new moss spores to grow in.

And lately the main grower I buy from has been bringing in all kinds of ferns (I mean to do a blog about them). I have been planting them under my Podocarpus Japanese Yew hedge on the north side of my house. I have the Plant Lover's Guide to Ferns.
