This is the perfect travel plant; a Resurrection Fern. They grow on Live Oaks. When there's no rain, they shrivel up. When it rains, even after decades, they green up again. Not the lovliest, but very care-free and transportable!

As I say, not the loveliest, but it's a plant!
Had the bazaar here today in Raintree. Lots of crafts and some baked goods. (Yum)! I bought an anklet; first one I've had since my early 20's and the first one I bought for myself. (Boyfriends always bought those). I also bought a small cloth bag for my credit cards and then I walked down to the next resort (about a mile) and bought a Santa for 25 cents. After buying the bbq lunch that Raintree cooked in the communal circle, I bought some small poppyseed muffins for later. (Got to do a lot more walking).
Here's some more of my Myakka pics......
