Although boardgames are my passion, I also dabble with plants.

Nothing serious, though I DO have more plants than I need to, especially now when my attention has been pulled from them and they are suffering from the lack of everything…

I especially like flowering plants – lilies, vines, etc.  and I am getting an appreciation of gingers.
Not that I need anything else to steal my attention or concentration.  I hve things to do that have been neglected.

Today was the Fall 2009 Plant Swap.  Same group that hosted and participated in the Spring 2009 Swap.

So… the Recap is pretty much the same, virtually the same event, different time of year.  Can count on a pleasant time.

Today was the Fall 2009 PlantMeet Plant Swap, held at Mercer Arboretum (North Houston area).  This event is a semi-annual gathering of “Planty People” who get together to swap plants, cuttings, seeds and general gardening items. The group which hosts this event is PlantMeet.com – Jennifer, Nadine and the PlantMeet group do a Fabulous job of organizing and pulling it all together, though Nadine was  not able to make this event.  There are also a couple of other groups that participate – Houston Plant Exchange (my plant group) and GardenWeb.  Actually, I believe that ANY person / plant group is invited to participate, it’s just about getting the word out.

So… I went and had fun.

A co-worker was supposed to come and host a table with plants for donations, but she never showed.

I had fun anyway.

There was a virtual Jungle of plants to browse through – it was Such A Fun and Pleasant event!! There were some Great plants swapped and some Generous people who gave without needing anything in return – That Is The Spirit of Plant People! It was Great to see everyone and I truly appreciated the planty gifts I received! We got to see “Old Friends” and got to meet some “New Friends” and have a Grand Time while doing so.

Nice to get out…
