More plants and repotting.

And I remember to take before pictures!

I always forget to take before pictures!  This time I actually had a bit of forethought!!

 

This is a ZZ plant. AKA a Zanzibar Gem and botanical name of Zamioculcas zamifolia. Thus ZZ plant. 

And one super crowded mother in law tongue who needed repotting mostly because I overwatered it this summer. Whoops!  So while I was draining the water I knew I needed to replace it’s soil. And split it out!

Here’s the after. Looks just as full, doesn’t it?  Yeah. I took out two starters and still left three stalks in the pot!  So. It’s been repotted with new soil. 

Here are the two new babies   Cute, eh?

And the ZZ has had all the root rot removed and dead stems removed and cleaned out a few dead root balls as well. 

And now we wait to see how everyone does after their transplant!  Wish them luck!

Adventures in photos. **updated**

So I ordered photos from an on line place that does quality photos. I ordered these in March. They said they were delivered in April. Hu??  It’s JUNE. Where are my photos??  I had just sent in a complaint and asked them to reprint and reship only to have them tell me the above. Hummm. Nope. Soooo I go to the post office today to get mail and there is a package slip. Ok. I go in and retrieve  the package and it’s my photos!!! What are the odds of when I FINALLY give up they show up?  So what were they of?  Well they were from Angela’s senior pictures in 2017. Yep. I’m that far behind in projects. 

Here is what they were for:

OriginL lay out. Note it’s mostly he two of them together and it was supposed to be Angela’s “side”

E.g the whole layout:

See all Liz’s senior pictures are on the right. The left should be all Angela and it’s not. 

So here is the after:

Much more “balanced” but I did tell Angela that she got top billing in the center group as she has three solo shots. Ha!  I may have to print out another one of the two of them for the middle. Or not... it looks good. I feel accomplishment tonight. 

And just now noticed one of Liz’s pictures is repeating. Hum. Going to have to print another for her so I may as well print a group one for the middle row too :)

** update. Since I noted the duplicate photo it bugged me ... so I went to my printer today and printed out two new pictures for the center collage. 

What did I change?  The lower left photo (duplicated the lower right photo in Liz’s collage). And the center picture that was just Angela solo. Now the whole middle row is the two of them and the top and bottom row are only the one child. I think it works!
