Off shoot: FOTD Jan 9, 2024

 

Cee is taking off a month for a well-deserved rest, but as I was opening the front gate for my Tuesday English student, Eduardo, to leave, I noticed this interesting bloom at the end of a shoot my echeveria has been sending up for the past week or more. Had to share it. Click on photos to enlarge.

I think the echeverias are every bit as pretty as flowers and half the bother, so here are a couple I’m sharing!

Vegetable and Mineral: FOTD June 19, 2022

This sculpture is made from stone slabs a sculptor friend purchased to carve. You can see the holes drilled to split the stone, but I loved the individual pieces assembled as they are. They now form this “bench” that holds a planter near my hot tub and pool. It contains succulents, lobelia, gardenias and I believe gazanias that perhaps have been crowded out since planting a few years ago. The bougainvillea is a visitor from the huge bush behind it. There’s some Virginia Creeper reaching its fingers into the pot as well as a lopsided solar light.

Encroachment: FOTD May 13, 2022


Somewhere under there, there should be a geranium and moss roses, but perhaps they’ve been choked out by invaders.
