Overflowing Cauldron
Author: Mahmood22 Aug
The portulaca has truly overtaken the pot!
This particular portulacas (the yellow and red) were just a couple of small cuttings only a few weeks ago, their growth rate never ceases to amaze me.
Regardless, I think they make the whole area look much nicer and fill in the pot quite nicely.
Have a wonderful weekend my friends.

Cactus flower (Ferocactus latispinus - Devil’s Tongue Barrel)
Author: Mahmood25 Jul
It’s the second time this barrel flowers, and since it last flowered, I had moved it into a pot and it seems to be doing okay and likes its new abode.
Have a wonderful weekend my friends.
Strelitzia
Author: Mahmood23 Jul
This is the first of four Strelitzias to flower. This plant is 3 years old and this is only the second time that it blooms.
