A year later I finally got my Instagram photos backfilled. I hope to make it easier to upload photos in the future but it feels good to have combined the two collections.

The roses were in full bloom this weekend at the rose gardens. So many interesting varieties. Loved these “Love Song“ roses “Rock-n-roll“ roses I'm a little mesmerized by this animation

I love that this is named a “Cobwebby thistle”. It’s so cool to look at.

Even the desert can be beautiful. Often life still thrives in its own unique way.

Looks like I missed #BlackBotanistsWeek but I’m enjoying finding new accounts to follow. @t_marie_wms @nox_makunga @localecologist @jadebleau @Rk_ct Also South Africa quite possibly has the most interesting plants. They were well represented. 🇿🇦🌱

I’m sad today reading up on the latest news on the riots and protests in response to the unjust deaths of black Americans. It saddens me knowing that minority communities have cried out peacefully about their oppression and have been ignored. I’m saddened that a suspicious $20 bill was a...

This #succulent has really thrived in the last month. I had cut off a sizable offshoot recently and both plants have grown since then. Between having a little more space and more regular care while we are home, the mother plant was happy enough to send out a flower stem....

Happy #earthday! One of my succulents was overflowing its small pot so I’m trying to propagate it. It’s still crazy to me how plants are able to grow with not much more than sun, water, and air. Hopefully our 100°F/38°C temperatures this week aren’t too much. The mini ones are...

Enjoyed a good Saturday at home taking care of my #houseplants. 🌱🌵🥀 Some of them graduated to bigger pots. Others I’m attempting to propagate with clippings. We’ll see how many of them take over the next few weeks. Of course Bailey had to sniff everything to make sure it was...

When people hear I like to grow house plants, a lot of people say that they always end up accidentally killing their plants. Well, the truth is that I accidentally kill plants pretty regularly. I’ve killed succulents, flowers, bonsai trees, lots of attempts at seedlings, and plants I thought were...

Brought in some of my plants that weren’t doing so well in the 115° F (46° C) heat today. Also bought another kalanchoe plant. I need to figure out how the nurseries keep them from sprawling out.

This is a cool plant sometimes referred to as a “sensitive plant”. It folds up when touched perhaps has a way to avoid being eaten. I remember seeing some back in Liberia. Apparently they are native in tropical parts of the Americas.

Yesterday was a colorful day: meeting friends on the highway, exploring Atlixco, losing our keys, volcanic eruptions. I feel like we are doing a good job of keeping life from getting boring.
