You could give tours - and you most certainly should include this display in your yet-to-be-written book featuring your mantelspaces, which I fervently believe would be a break-out classic garden design book, especially given the current interest in house plants. I saw a commercial for a "tablescape" competition show this weekend - a book on decorating with plants would be so much better.<br /><br />BTW, that's the best looking Rhipsalis I've ever seen.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-81316238520725010122021-11-01T11:48:06.151-07:002021-11-01T11:48:06.151-07:00You could charge a fee to take a nap in that guest...You could charge a fee to take a nap in that guest bed: a most tropical heaven, Oxygen rich, green goodness therapy.
