House today 19 Dec 2017

Compare with Dec 23, 2016 - there has been growth indeed! Although the house needs work done, still.

Hello Chinese money plant

Pilea peperomioides, known as Chinese money plant, pancake plant, lefse plant, or missionary plant, is a species of flowering plants in the family Urticaceae, native to Yunnan Province in southern China.

Bought for a song at a recent garden party, I'm working hard on keeping it alive!

Beach spider lily - white

 Sacred Lily of the Incas, the fine fragrant white flowers of the Hymenocallis

Apparently they can be transplanted as bulbs, and bloom pretty easily, everywhere, so I shall be transplanting them, after this flowering season, to the edges of the garden beds.
