Plant Updates and more Pictures.

Hey everyone! First of all thanks for the support of my blog, I hope I can get some more readers. So I've had a lot of cool changes to my plant collection since I last reported. I've started a small grow room in my house ( See my next Blog!) and I've also gotten a lot more growth out of all of my plants and even some fruit starting on one of them, and of course more flowers popping up on a few of them.

So... Where do I start?? Well I've been having a lot of new growth on all my plants that are currently outdoors (only for another month or so I'm thinking). The Dragon fruit Cacti are putting on a ton of new growth, I'm having to stake them and tie them constantly. (See photos below)


                                                                                                                                
 
The Kona Coffee plant is putting on new leaves every day it seems. Probably going to be another year or more before I can expect flowers on this plant but it is healthy  and gorgeous. The Banana tree puts out a new leaf every couple days. Seems to be slowly growing a larger stalk as the lower more juvenile

leaves die off. My dwarf pomegranate is exploding with flowers right now. They might take pollination and fruit but they don't get very big and aren't really much to eat, but it is a good looking, healthy plant. Last but certainly not least, in fact probably the most exciting are the passion fruit vines. The 'Lavender Lady' pops new flowers open every day. The possum purple has been pushing out flowers in a smaller quantity but they are producing fruit! I'm extremely excited about trying it when they ripen!
