		<title>Anthurium scandens from seed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while back, I mentioned my purchase of Anthurium scandens.  I was lucky enough to purchase the plant on eBay, only to be given one a couple of days later.  At that time I was a little annoyed I had spent money on a plant, only to receive a larger one for free.  But then [...]]]></description>

		<title>Greenhouse facelift</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My blogging hiatus continues due to all of my free time going towards our house addition.  The addition was bricked a couple of weeks ago and it turns out that I ordered entirely too much brick.  Apparently that is difficult to do, so I have a hidden talent.  If you ever need someone to over [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a number of mounted orchids in my collection now, so I thought I would post about those orchids specifically, even if some of them have been shared before. The first is my &#8220;cucumber&#8221; orchid, Dockrillia cucumeria, which I purchased in February.  It started to get crispy outside in our scorching 100+ days from [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Sacred Bodhi Tree</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As legend has it, the founder of the Buddhist faith, Siddhartha Gautama, gained his enlightenment after meditating for 49 days underneath a tree.  That tree, for obvious reasons, has been sacred to the Buddhist faith ever since.  In many ways it is equivalent to the cross on which Christ was crucified.  Some old Christian churches [...]]]></description>
