2A – Daily News – Thursday, March 10, 2011 Community people&events Swinhart installation Winter blues, or not By KATHY BRAMHALL It was a dark and stormy night— isn’t that an original start?! Well it is dark and stormy day and I’m looking out at my garden for inspi- ration. Outside is not too inspiring so today I’m looking inside at my "houseplants." I consider my houseplants an extension of my garden. I once said "houseplant" is a misnomer as some houseplants must remain in the house or greenhouse for survival and others I move inside only dur- ing the winter. In last winter’s extreme cold I lost several plants so this year just before Thanksgiving I moved more plants than I usually bother with into the house.

Reports from many districts in Tehama and adjacent counties indicate virtually all this year’s lamb crops have been saved. Ben Cooper, who has charge of the big sheep ranch owned by the J.L.

Nomlaki history Learn the history of the Nomlaki Indian Reserva- tion from 1854 to 1870. The Tehama County Genealogical Historical Society announces that noted historian Don His- lop, an instructor at Shas- ta College, will be the guest speaker on the his- tory of the Nomlaki Indi- an Reservation, which was the subject of his master's thesis. The presentation will be at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 17, at the Red Bluff Community and Senior Center, 1500 S. Jackson St. The public is cordially invited to this most inter- esting presentation. area I have three plants blooming 1) A new Beefstake Begonia which I propagated by rooting a leaf off my old one for fellow gardener Vickie Gray. 2) My Anthurium is showing its shiny red shovel-shaped flower bracts. 3) Finally, a lovely sweet- smelling white Dendrobium Orchid given to me several years ago by my daughter-in-law Sharon. These plants get light from southwest win- dows. Also under these windows are a tropical Ti plant, a Schefflera, and a leggy Dracaena. Near the patio doors which face south I have four plants. These are a mix, including a 1) Philodendron with glossy deeply lobed leaves, not to be mistaken for a so called Split- leafed Philodendron which is really a Monstera delicious which I have in another room, 2) Spathiphyllum with its spath-like white flowers, 3) a funky looking—short and stocky rather than tall and stately—Sanse- vieria and 4) a new (first time owned by me) Cyanotis somaliensis (Fuzzy Jew) which I got from my friend Mary Reynolds at the Garden Club Plant Exchange last June. Mary says this will survive outside in a protected place but I didn’t want to chance it. Under the windows in the Day Room I have a little nursery. This is where I place plants I’m propagat- ing—several little African Violets (I have 5 larger ones on the coffee table), a large pot of Coleus cut- tings, 3 new Beefsteak Begonias, several cacti and succulents rescued from the cold, and 2 large Cane Begonias. Our bedroom has west facing corner windows which are a perfect spot for three large pots--Hairy Begonia with 12-inch leaves, a large Fiddleleaf Ficus, and an in- from-the- cold pot of Hybrid Coleus which I’ve cut back to make the cuttings mention above.
