Plant Counter!

No new pictures tonight, but I have added a 'widget' to the blog to count the number of plants under my care. Its broken up into a few subcategories:

Bonsai are normal trees cultivated for aesthetic form while maintaining a small size.

Pre-Bonsai are plants currently being transitioned to bonsai.

Succulent plants are water-retaining plants adapted to arid climate or soil conditions. Succulents store water in their leaves, stems, and roots.

We define cacti as a subgroup of succulents, that is all cacti are succulents but not all succulents are cacti. Specifically, Cacti have spines and evolved in the Americas, while the rest of the succulent category evolved in the Old World, mainly in Africa.

The tropical plants are a catch all group to describe ferns, palms and other leafy indoor plants.

Terrariums are small collections of moss and ferns held in glass containers.

Outside plants include herbs, bulbs, and other hearty species we have planted in the flower beds outside the apartment.

Hopefully I will get to posting some more pictures over the next week. We have purchased some new cacti that I am eager to document.
