Cactus flowers #cactus #flowers

Sea lavender doing what it does best 💜 Heat, dry soil, no problem. just nonstop blooms. #BloomScrolling #DroughtTolerant #PlantSky

Penstemon heterophyllus ‘Margarita BOP’ “BOP” = Bottom Of Porch This color mutation was was found growing by a porch in a California garden 💜

this is a coral aloe, named for the color of its flowers the photo doesn’t do the brightness justice

no soil. no pot. no problem.

Only .05” in the forecast here… basically nothing. I’ve been watching the weather closely, hoping for one more good rain to fill my rain barrels. This won’t be it 😭 PLEASE don’t let this be the last rain of the season.

I don’t pull poppy seedlings. This is why.

A good day in the garden

.... and now we wait!! #DragonFruitCactus

this morning vs. after work honestly, I can relate

Good morning beautiful people of BlueSky. One plus of getting up early for work is catching night-blooming cactus while they’re still fresh 🌼

What a beautiful day ☀️🌵

Turns out I’ve got true grit

Nature turned the saturation all the way up on these

I’m pretty sure loving California poppies is a requirement when you live in California 🙂

The last snow pea harvest of the year 🫛 Now it’s time to make room for summer crops. #VegetableGarden #GardenHarvest

I noticed something while looking out the window… 👀 (And I wasn’t even wearing my glasses 😅) Thought I might be seeing things… More 👇

#BloomScrolling This thelocactus hexaedrophorus on my porch is happy in this heat.

Sharing this blooming Rebutia cactus for your #BloomScrolling and #TimelineCleanse 🌼

Aeonium bloom season 💛✨

TGIF! 🐝 Been a busy bee all week and so ready for the weekend

This winter I noticed something strange happening on the cephalium of this Melocactus 🤔 I’ve never seen it do this before… More 👇

Love these ruffles! Definitely on my wish list for next winter 📌 More in alt text

Euphorbia mammillaris Such an interesting texture and color… almost like ocean coral. #succulent #plantsky #BloomScrolling

Success! Seed pods are forming.🙌 Now I just have to wait for them to finish developing before I can sow them.

Doesn’t look like much yet… but give it time 🌱 This little hook turns into Agave victoriae-reginae.

Matucana madisoniorum cactus in bloom today 🤍🤍🤍

A swallowtail #butterfly that visited my garden this weekend. 🦋 #BloomScrolling #PlantSky #Pollinators

Here are a few cacti I have in bloom today

Pulled this Haworthia out of its pot and… yeah, it was time 😅 Completely root-bound. Gave it a much larger home so those roots can stretch out a bit.

Red-headed Irishman cactus 👨‍🦰 Mammillaria spinosissima Looks like the cactus bloom season has officially begun. 🌵🌸

Spent some time today learning about growing African violets from Rob and Olive at the Violet Barn. Always fun to hear tips from people who have been growing these for decades. 🌸 #plantsky #africanviolets #houseplants

Cheiridopsis denticulata seedlings. 🌱 These tiny paired leaves are the beginning of a South African mesemb adapted to winter rainfall deserts. Seeds originally collected near Platbakkies in the Northern Cape.

We had a bunch of Society members show off their orchids that they were growing at our meeting yesterday. #orchids #orchid #flowers #bloom #plant

A tiny orchid bloom up close.

Late-night garden visitor. This large chestnut millipede (Tylobolus castaneus) was tucked under one of my haworthias. They’re harmless decomposers that help recycle organic matter back into the soil. Always amazed how much life shows up in the garden after dark. #Invertebrates #plantsky #Nature

Phalaenopsis, Fuller’s Red Peoker

Seed-grown African daisies (Osteospermum). Lots of different colors here to add to your #BloomScrolling today. 🌼

Breakfast rush at the feeder this morning 🐦

🌱 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬 Streptocarpus leaf propagation One thing I learned the hard way: the rooting medium must be very airy. If it’s too dense the leaf can rot before it roots. These are rooted in lightly moist moss inside a glass vase. More below 👇 #plantsky #houseplants

Cactus seedlings: Astrophytum myriostrigma “Kikko” I planted these Jan 1st.

Phalenopsis NOID. This “grocery store orchid” was gifted to me a few years ago by a dear friend. I love how deep the color is on this one.

Hi @phyllish854.bsky.social Hope you’re doing well. Remember when we traded AV leaves last year? I propagated them and this is the first one to bloom! 💜
