I sat here with the growl-y dawg (whose only wish in life, like all dogs, was to have her owners return!) all day in this very lovely and comfy chair and graded in the lamp light. (Calculator posing for proof)
The view out the window to see the sun for 3minutes.
I have no idea... the neighbor's house... who are these people?
As for Autumn, it's the time for houseplants to burst forth! Here's Rhododendron jasminiflorum. On a warm day, this single flowerhead, which will soon be joined by a friend, perfumes the entire sunroom with a jasmine like scent. Rhodie from Bovee's Nursery in SW Portland. Right about now is peak bloom season so go over and pick one out.
Last, my Eucharis grandiflora. I've had this thing since 2001. Got it from Indoor Sun Shop in Seattle, now moved to Fremont I think... It's a member of the Amaryllidaceae family, all of whose members dislike root disturbance. In order to repot successfully, one must ensure minimal root breakage! Otherwise, the bulbs can enter a multi-year long recovery from such mistreatment. The bowl it's currently in is 18in in diameter.
It has (I think) 9 spikes... Each inflorescence consists of umbel supported by a thick peduncle and each floret is suspended atop a thin pedicel.
