I'm a farmer

Okay not really. We have about 12 mandarins - I'm feeding MILLIONS, people!
And ZERO oranges for the 3rd year in a row. I've heard many ways to get our tree to fruit: put it in the ground, plant another orange tree with it, something about the flowers when the bloom, etc. Hopefully it will be planted soon and then I'll just have to work down the list of to-do's to get something back on our investment.
The azalea bush, Anastasia, is getting bigger and my grandma's cacti haven't died - AND one cactus that I thought had fake flowers to make it more appealing actually bloomed flowers a month ago. Who knew. We only have one indoor plant now (it's in the product blog with an Aqua Globe in it). We'll see if I can keep them all alive through another winter.
The photos below are flowers/plants I've been growing from a mixture of seeds that attract butterflies and bees. The big storm we had blew the plant over and broke it's stem, but it's still alive.
I shot the flash up over these flowers one night and thought it looked really neat.
