Hello from tropical Cairns

Post by Maja »

My name is Maja and I am just a novice at growing and propagating these beautfiul plants. However I do now have a little collection and love them all, especially the ones I have grown from cuttings and have been given to me. I like my plants to have a history.

Cheers,
Maja

Welcome, Maja!

Always good to have more Southern Hemisphere members. You can really get us Northern folk through our winter doldrums! Hopefully we can return the favor! :D

PS. I sent you a PM too.

Thanks PapaBear Jay!
I am more of a northern southerner I guess, being on the peninsula at the top east coast of Australia :D
