All three of these tiny plants are growing out of little holes that opened up in one of my big pots near the pool. They are like bonsai volunteers.

My Garden, For Cee: FOTD Jan 14, 2022

23 Replies

Cee remarked on loving my garden, so here is a view of some of it for her. If you click on the photos, they enlarge, and some have captions.

Some denizens of my garden are fauna, not flora. This colorful insect is a large cow-killer ant (actually a female wingless wasp with a very painful bite, thus the name.)
This one is less easily overlooked.
This little guy rapped loudly on some tree in the neighborhood until I finally went out to see where he was. But, the minute I went out the door, he would freeze and become invisible. Finally, however, I caught him doing his business, whereupon he promptly flew away and has not returned. Here he is eighty feet up in the tree.

Succulent Wall: FOTD Mar 12, 2021

The original wall, after the removal of the big jade plant and addition of the new planter down below, seemed just not to work.

The arrangement below is my new addition to this wall, which used to have a very large jade plant where the new arrangement is. I moved it because it was obscuring some of the plants above it. It is now moved to the side but very nearby.
