A Good Week.

This has been an extra good week at work. My greenhouse has yielded pothos that are ready to be induced to flower, pothos mutants that were big enough to propagate by cuttings, seed from a really exciting anthurium cross and 3 new philodendron mutants that have been also been propagated by cuttings. In addition, the new dieffenbachia mutant that we have tissue-culture propagated continues to branch very well.

Hoo Hoo. All of these plants could become exciting new cultivars in the next 2 years.
That is what makes breeding tropical ornamental plants so much fun. Ther is no greater reward than seeing your dreams and ideas come true.

Plus the surf fishing reports are improving and I may have to check the surf one day next week. It sure is nice to be able to choose between ‘fun’ or ‘more fun’ things to do.

Plus, plus at home, there is some wood working to continue and a small welding project to complete. I want to make a gaff hook to drag the sharks back into the surf plus a friend has given me a broken sprinkler weld. I love those small projects.

Plus, plus, plus it has rained at home for the first time in 6 weeks. Oh yea, I guess there will be grass to mow now for the next 4 months and leaves to blow out of the carport.
But all and all life has been very good this week…..!!!!!!!
