The list of plants I intend to move gets smaller and smaller.

A lot of what I love is replaceable if I actually get busy in my sister’s yard. So, I don’t have to do that all at once, potting up pieces to move. I do have a canna I want to put beside her house. It was a gift from our mutual BIL and will be pretty as it spreads there. A piece if it is in a pot now.

I do intend to get a decent herb garden going and maintained over there next Spring. I’ve gotten spoiled by drying my own herbs over the years and won’t give that up if I can help it.

I intend to take a piece of the flame calla and the stunning blue Siberian iris that was a gift from a friend to put in the tiny area that I get to manage to the left of the front walk. I’ll put the ‘Frost Queen’ calla to the right of the front door under the upstairs naighbors’ steps.

Two bonsais are going with me, the Japanese maples and the swamp cypress. The cypress hasn’t actually been bonsaied yet. But, I’m not giving up that project. We have a tall, marbletopped, iron based, outside-only, very heavy table that I intend to put to the left of the front door. I’ll put the maples on that and set the cypress down into a non-draining pot beneath it. (I’m trying to force it to make knees before I actually bonsai it.) The quince continues to do poorly and the handthrown pot it’s in is crumbling. So, it’s not making the trip.

The long, glass IKEA table we’ve been using in the kitchen will go on the deck to hold the carnivores. I repotted the S. psittacina into a lower, plastic pot to decrease its weight. It was heavy and it doesn’t need to be that tall if it isn’t sitting in the water garden.

The Schlumbergeri all went to crap this year and I’ve been trying to reroot the peach and yellow ones. As much as I wanted the yellow one, it’s the one doing the worst. So, I may take the peach and give up on the other 2 pots. I recognize that that collection was a bit excessive.

I have a handthrown pot that was made for me by a friend of my Spawn. I commisioned it during the shutdown and I paid more for it than I ordinarily would because of that. I had it made for the batfaced flower that hated living here and never thrived. I’m going to transplant half of Chuck’s peace lily into it and find a home for the other half.

The rest of the houseplants will simply go as they are.
