    <![CDATA[Guest Post by The Greenery Kelowna If you've been on the hunt for a dramatic houseplant, your hunt is over. There are over seventy different varieties of alocasia (Alocasia amazonica), from huge tropical elephant's ears to the more diminutive houseplant varieties, but they all have drama in common.

    <![CDATA[Tulips come in a variety of colours, even bi-colour. You know it’s springtime when the tulips begin to appear in Kelowna flower shops and in gardens around the Okanagan. We know our flower shop customers love tulips, so we thought we’d take this chance to provide you with a bit of information about these gorgeous perennials. Perennials? Yup. Many people treat them like annuals, replanting bulbs every fall. However, if left in the ground, tulip bulbs will produce smaller bulbs the following year (called offsets) attached to the main parent bulb. The nice thing about bulbs is they don’t require&#8230;]]>

There are about 60 true species of Phalaenopsis, but they have been extensively hybridised. There are now thousands of Phalaenopsis hybrids, ranging from the classic, stark white hybrid (often called a moth orchid) to jewel-like&#8230;]]>
