WHY I DO THIS BLOG ON RARE PLANTS

This blog is a labor of love. Because of my love for unusual, tropical plants and the ways to make them prosper, I searched high and low for information and data on the more obscure denizens of the plant Kingdom my information database grew and I realized that Much of the Data on Obscure Species was Unavailable or written in a cold scientific manner. In Addition, many things in garden books will not tell you of the potentially bad aspects of plant species because they were compiled by people who did not actually grow the plants themselves.Finally,as a gardener of unusual plants, I and others searched relentlessly for species, pictures, seeds, and descriptions of plants that are Unusual and easy to maintain yet many of which are never seen outside of a botanical garden.
I talked to people and found that many of my friends and associates wanted cuttings (and had as much success with them as I did) It occurred to me that there are a great deal of people out there that relish unusual and odd plants but the mainstream Plant distributors only carry "Safe" plants, Yet the dealers who deal in unusual make a killing in the plant business. How are People supposed to know about these Floral finds unless they are exposed to them.

According to the report “State of the worlds plants”by researchers at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in the United Kingdom, there are about 391,000 species of vascular plants currently known to science. Of these, about 369,000 species (or 94 percent) are flowering plants.


By scanning through several plant databases, including the the Plant List, the International Plant Names Index and the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families, the team found that 391,000 vascular plants are currently known to science. Moreover, about 2,000 new plant species are discovered or described every year. Many of these newly described are already on The endangered list

Issue almost resolved

 To update the contractor situation I believe it will be resolved today things are progressing with mediation and BBB and the contractor and I expect everything will be resolved amicably in a very short time. it’s been an unmitigated nightmare, but as with every tragedy you learn from it and can predict certain peoples behavior and counter it. you don’t repeat your mistakes next time.  and I can honestly say I think  the contractor learned quite a bit  more from this experience….lol I believe he will more than likely think twice about behaving as he did. 


I cannot believe some peoples audacity

 


The contractor I’ve been dealing with called me this morning verbally threatened me screaming profanities like I’m going to F you and put a lien on your house… seriously over a lousy  $900 that he still hasn’t fixed since September but at least I found out the true story so the Better Business Bureau and court will now with the hundred or so pictures of this disastrous episode. I’m still too much of a gentleman to name names. I just want my money refunded so I can fix my roof with a professional and end this three months nightmare.

nightmarish roofing problem

 Sorry, no postings I’ve been busy for several months trying to get a roof leak over my garage fixed… they originally repaired it in September so I’ve been through a hurricane and every rain storm with water water falling.My wall .The company has been out here a total of five times each time they tell me roof is fixed each time it rains. And each time they give me the excuse that the workers ran a hose to my roof and tested it and it didn’t leak and yet I have Waterfall in my Garage . I’m giving them one more chance to resolve this before I have to take it to another level. If it goes there, expect a video on all my sites regarding the resolution  of this issue at this point, I believe I’ve lost confidence. if it is not resolved, I will be less of a gentleman and make sure that I mention the companies name. And even produce a video on the issue. I have four months of video and photographs.
