Had a dream the other night that I was talking to a man with the same last name as mine. I was trying to find out if he lived in England (which is most likely where any relative on that side would be, but I'd have to go back many generations since my granddad's brother didn't have kids), but I must have woken up before I got an answer.
I uploaded a video Stan took of our amazing blooming orchid cactus to YouTube. I posted it over at Stan's blog. Now that I know how YouTube works, I'll have to start making movies of our animals to bore everyone with, like in the old days when people showed you slide shows after dinner of their trips out west.

Boring is good. Thank you for posting the flower video.
Tried to post a comment on the cactuspage about how impressed I am over the size of the cactus, but it didn't work. But now you know, I'm impressed. Yep.
Those flowers are amazing, thank you Erik! Don't know why the posting to Stan's blog didn't work...bloger is so fickle.
I'm just very impressed when people manage to grow huge plants. I've tried to have cactuses many times, but they've died. While Johnny was in the hospital, all the orchids died. The only plant I seem able to keep alive (except from some hashplants I had once and which I cared for like they were babies) is the peace lily, cause it's easy to see when it needs water.
I can't grow orchids either....they need too much warmth which we can't give them. I was able to at first, but they eventually died. I can't grow ferns well indoors. (Our outdoor ferns look GREAT) Peace lilies are hard to kill, but I managed to kill a few in my life.
I've been having good luck with big plant species that I killed when I was young. Our rubber plant is getting huge, and it started out about 6 inches tall. It's now over 3 feet tall and branching out. It's about 6 years old or so. I have one plant that I've had for about 34 years and it's still living (snake plant). The plant pictured in Stan's blog come from cuttings that he took from his grandmother's plant, so it goes back a long ways!
