Stormy Cliffs…

A young "Star flower" plant (Orbea variegata) with its first bloom. It is a carrion flower, but am happy to report the smell is pretty mild. 🌱 #succulents #flower #gardening #plantsky

The sun finally making an appearance today as seen through my "October Glory" red maple tree. ☀️🍁 #Maple #fallcolor #photography #trees

Our Zulu Giant finally bloomed, and it’s beautiful! I was hoping it would bloom during the summer when it was in the greenhouse. Thankfully, the odor isn’t pungent as I feared. 💛🌱 #gardening #succulents #bloomscrolling

Growing succulents under trees can be tricky, but not for these two. A Foxtail Agave and Saucer Aeonium looking good in the rain this morning. 🌱 #Succulents #Agave #Aeonium #Gardening #plantsky

My brother shared this cool picture that he took of a flock of seagulls on the Outer Banks. I like that he got the birds, their shadows, and their reflections all in one shot.

A few shots from Tuesday about 24 hours before a big storm arrived. So many colors in less than 10 minutes. #sunset #photography

This is a Copiapoa cinerea that was grafted onto a cactus rootstock. It's nearly 3" in diameter but likely took only 3 or 4 years to reach this size. If grown on their own roots, it might take around 10 years (and be 5x the price) 🌵 #cactus #Copiapoa #Cinerea #succulent

This is a "Medusa's head" cactus my wife learned about while listening to a talk by a local seller. It's been grafted onto a cactus root stock for faster growth. Astrophytum caput-meducae 'variegata'🌵 #Cactus #Astrophytum #plantsky

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy. For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy. The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

The dog usually goes for a walk with the husband and stops at the pub for a beer, but today his wife is walking the dog! Aww take him inside 🤩#SaturdayVibes

PT 2: One has opened... smell is beyond bad. Stapelia leendertziae flowers #bloominginNovember #bloomscrolling #succulents 🌱 #flowers #plants #plantsky #gardenfeed

I love this red maple tree (October Glory) I planted a few years ago. It takes a bit longer here in the Bay Area to turn red than in colder climates, but soon it will be a shock of red. 🍁 #MapleTree #RedWed #FallColor

Okay, yes, humanity did not enact the single best possible outcome in response to the single worst problem we have ever faced as a species In no way was it wrong to try, and in no way is it wrong to continue trying to jam a wrench in the greedy fossil fuel economy. Everything is still on the table

A few months ago, I was given this free cutting of a Cereus peruvianis 'Monstrose' cactus. It took a long time to fully root, but the new growth on top started long before then. 🌱 #Cactus #gardensky #plants

This is a crested Echeveria that started as a small branch growing on my large Echeveria hybrid. After repotting, it's taken less than a year for the stem to change into this cool fan shape. 🌱 #Echeveria #Succulent #gardening

A pair of lithops in full bloom. They are notoriously difficult to grow, so having them flower is very exciting. 👍😎🌱 #Lithops #succulents #plantsky
