For those growing lithops, we are well into the new growing season. I have been lax in showing my lithops coming out of their winter regeneration and producing their new pairs of leaves. This photo of Lithops_lesliei_mariae with its new leaves was taken in mid March

Treating cactus like lawn furniture. I have several large old cacti and two large other succulents for which there was no room in the house for them to spend the winter. I have garage that doesn't go below freezing; and that where they are staying until they go outside again.

Having limited space means choosing species wisely. I like Turbinocarpus bc they're small & hey are the earliest to bloom in my collection. 5 out of 6 have buds or flowers today.

While I have stopped planting large numbers of cactus seed, I still collect a few seeds from my own plants and plant them each year. Seed from these Astrophytum hybrids were collected and sown in October 2021. They are growing into some very attractive plants. I'm pleased. 😃

Yesterday I went to ⁦⁦@TheHuntington⁩ to see the mural that’s been in my family since the 1930s. Tyrus Wong painted the monkey panels for my grandfather's restaurant, Dragon's Den. I'm so happy the monkey panels now have a beautiful, safe, and permanent home.

More of my favorite Plant Show C&S plants. This one, Echinocereus rigidissimus var. rubispinus, is a plant I grew from seed (sown in 2004) and has now developed into a crested specimen', meaning the growing point has expanded and now stretches across the whole top of the plant.

Bidenomics is good for workers, it's good for the middle class, and it's good for America.

President Biden @POTUS

7 months ago

September was another good month for American workers, with 336,000 jobs created and inflation coming down. That’s nearly 14 million jobs – including 815,000 in manufacturing – created under Bidenomics.
