Flowers galore!
The last two days have brought me some really pretty flowers in the garden. Some are big but a couple are about 1/4 of an inch in size. How I love
my garden!

I take pieces of almost every single plant I run into - I have cuttings from San Juanico to San Ignacio, from San Diegt to to Santa Barbara
(recently visited Les's daughter there).
I share with my neighbors who are plant lovers too and when mine act up, I can just get another cutting off of theirs.
My grandma told me God did not consider taking a small cutting a sin and I believe her!

Sorry it has taken me so long to answer basutter, those are Queen of the Nights, also known as Orchid Cactus (Epiphyllum) since the flowers open at
night and die first hit of sunlight in the morning.
I missed them flowering last year when we were on vacation.
I guess I missed the purple flower from the other plant as well. It looks exactly the same.

These crocuses were in bloom on our front lawn a few weeks back - nowhere near where we planted them. Thank you, chipmunks!

Nice. The second photo shows a plant that looks like nopal... but without spines?

You are welcome, Meany. The original post was from 2017!
pacificobob - I really don't know what plant that one is. Nowadays, I try to make sure to catalog each plant but didn't do that as carefully before.

Nothing spectacular but a few from out in the desert recently.

Oh! That last one is beautiful and unique! Are you using photoshop to post pics or some other program? I have so many photos to post but my
computer is not cooperating.
pacificobob - in the 2nd photo in the original post, there are 2 plants. On the left and green is an ivy of sorts and to the right, with a lot of
spines, is the cactus that produces the red flower.

I take them into Preview, a Mac App, resize them down and just attach from the post reply window.
