At that time, my eyes were on BIG containers, and they are just too heavy to bring.

I found another name 'Asparagus setaceus' that looks same to what I have. Since mine is still young, and I don't see any thorns yet.<br /><br />Yes, its airy and delicate look is what I love about it the most, and especially it brought me lots of memories of my home country.Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744078497819915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867788905122040228.post-38329300424739808152011-04-28T22:15:52.355-04:002011-04-28T22:15:52.355-04:00Darla: Thank you!

I looked it up to read more about it and the fern shown online doesn't look like this one at all. I will keep looking. I have used parts of this fern to make Christmas cards, because they look like little Christmas trees. I'm going to go out to see if I can bring a bit of this indoors myself. The only thing I don't like about this fern are the little thorns on the main stems. Does yours have thorns? Maybe I don't have the same thing as you at all, but it sure looks like it. I love how airy and delicate it looks, and the word 'breeze' seems to fit this plant.<br /><br />Your orchids look wonderful in their new pots. <br /><br />It is too bad that the beauty of your language is lost in the translation.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing a bit of your culture with us and your new collection of containers for your plants.<br /><br />Hugs ~ FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867788905122040228.post-91697706508901273302011-04-28T07:14:41.052-04:002011-04-28T07:14:41.052-04:00These are simply beautiful containers here!These are simply beautiful containers here!Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976608531478457839noreply@blogger.com
