Re-potted My Poinsettia, Christmas Cactus, and Miniature Pineapple Plant

I finally got off my lazy but and replanted some of my plants.  I re-potted my Poinsettia, Christmas Cactus, and Miniature Pineapple Plant.  The blue pot are from the Ocean Lot.  They sell a huge variety of pots for a very affordable price.  The blue one was $3.  The clear plastic thing (sorry, can't think of what it's called right now) under the pot cost $0.88.  The purple vase/pot came from Ikea.  It's sold in a set of two.  The smaller one is broken so I only had this tall one left.  I apologize but I do not remember how much those cost.





This miniature pineapple plant originally cost was $12.99 but it went on clearance and I got it for $2.99 only.  I brought two of these plants from Shaw's (a local grocery store).  I had given one away to my sister.  To my surprise I found pups in each of these pots.  The one my sister got had one and the one I got had three.  I did not know of this until I had brought them home.  What I deal huh?  I will take close up of these little pups as soon as I find more time.  :)


Also to let you all know I went to the Boston Flower Show this past weekend.  Hopefully can I upload some photos soon to show you all.

Is winter still here? Succulents Colors and Daffodils and Tulips

It's been a while since I've posted.  We been receiving so much snow outside that I didn't get a chance to take much pictures or see much changes in my plants.  But this weekend it started to warm up and snow is beginning to melt so I was able to take some pictures to share.

Look at the bright red colors.  These two succulents will turn green once the warm weather comes.  I guess red is the stressed color (is that how people call it?)


Are these tulips?  I'm not sure what I've planted or where I've planted it.  I guess I'll find out soon.  They seem to be growing fast.


Daffodils?  Again, I'll find out soon!


These were in my garage the last month or so.  We've had over two feet of snow so to protect my plants and hypertufa pots I decided to store them inside for a while.
Is this the Chinese Dunce Cap spouting?


I forgot what this is.  Damn I'm bad with names. 
Hope you like the pictures.  Spring will be arriving soon and I'll have more pictures posted up soon!
