Opening Up

This peace lily has survived quite a few years with serious neglect and lack of water. Then I saw a YouTube video on constructing a riparium (posh word for lidless fish tank using plants as waste absorbers) So I rinsed the compost off, popped it into the fish tank and not only is it thriving, it's also producing both new leaves and flowers. One happy peace lily!

I've had one happily growing in a vase of water for several years. If they're in pots I can't keep them alive.

Lovely. If I don't soon water mine, it won't bloom anymore.
