Peperomia Caperata

I used to call this little guy my work plant since I didn't know the name, but since then my friend Carolyn identified it as Peperomia Caperata. Otherwise known as the pepperoni plant. It's still doing well in my office and right now it has 11 little flower spikes. Either it's happy or it's trying to tell me it wants to be repotted. Not quite sure which yet, but it looks good!

Surprise, it's an Iris

So I got this free iris from a vendor at the Zoo event Bloomin' Crazy about 4 years ago. I stuck it in a pot with some flat leaf parsley that has since died.

The other day, Ben says, "Your big white flower is blooming." WHAT?

I look outside before I say he's crazy and that iris is blooming! One stalk with 3 flowers. I didn't even notice it throwing out a spike.
