A spike at least 3 feet high grew straight up out of a large planter in my front garden. I had not a clue what it was. Certainlly not something I’d planted. I kept thinking I’d cut it down or move it but finally just directed it away from a sculpture it was growing directly in front of.  It had no flowers or leaves and was not that attractive, but I was rather intrigued, wondering how tall it would grow.  Then the other day I saw that it had pushed out blooms. I looked it up and learned that it is a variety of kalanchoe–one of my favorite flowering plants. I certainly have never seen one like this, however.

I worked outside in the rain for two days (thanks, Patricia!) to get ready for a garden tour I am on–moving plants, planting new ones (including this kalanchoe,) trimming dead growth and leaves and even spreading lava rock in beds. During one day of constant rain, I changed my clothes and blow-dried my hair 3 times before giving up and just working in my swim suit, and yes, it was cold. Then, yesterday, I discovered that the garden tour is on Oct. 19, not on Tuesday!!!! So, still work to do but lots more time to do it. Nothing gets one mobilized like the promise of visitors.

I couldn’t resist publishing another photo of this amazing plant. I meant to get a start from it and forgot. Photographed in my friend Pamela’s garden earlier this month. The Mother of Thousands is a variety of kalanchoe. Never met a kalanchoe I didn’t like!

I can’t decide which I like best so I’m including them all. Why not?  

Again, I went to buy soil and ended up with an entire trunk full of plants. It started with these lovely kalanchoes. Two plants–you can see a bit of the yellow one in one of the photos. There is such a variety of colors even from plant to plant. One yellow is not exactly the same as the other. I love this unbrash creamy color of yellow as opposed to lemon yellow plus the variation of the orange which unfolds from its blush peach fist to the more vivid orange flower.

I went out to snap a few new photos of flowers and ended up trimming all of the plants in the entire back porch plus the lower level around the studio and the side of the terrace. Two hours later, I came up to post this!  You can hardly pass for the heaps of weeds and dry leaves and branches in the pathways and corridors. A surprise for Pasiano on Monday. I trim, he clears away and bags up.
