    Thanks for stopping by and leaving such lovely comments! Glory, your comment about the cats reminded me of when my husband and I moved into a new apartment that had plant hangars on the ceiling. We had a cat who was always trying to eat my philodendrons. When I hung them up from the ceiling, she just stared up at them and howled! At any rate, hanging plants from ceiling hooks is a great way to keep them out of the cats' way!

    Wow, Raven! Outstanding Zone. Love the pictures. Only problem is you've made me want more houseplants and my 4 cats are already annoyed with me for taking up "their" sunny window seat. Can anyone help me put in another window?
