I have a very small 'backyard'. I do have a tiny veggie garden, daffodils, a couple hyacinths, some iris and 3 Columbine plants back there. This is where my orchids that get to go outside will be. The cymbidium will sit where the daffodils are.

Some of the daffs are open and some of my spinach that I planted last August is growing again.

BTW- When my unit was built in 1984, it did not have air conditioning. It wasn't as hot in those days. Now, it is necessary!
