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.

Mr. Froggy relaxing on a rock between the asparagus and the cleaned up pond which is now equipped with a biological and chemical filter to fight the damned green algea and the stink that it creates. We can actually now see the bottom of the pond.

Cactus flower (Ferocactus latispinus – Devil’s Tongue Barrel)

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.

The Buddha patch

I can’t remember when it was that I showed you the Buddha patch last, so here it is as of a couple of hours ago. You can see how scorched some of the plants look. It’s summer. The death season for everything green!

Nevertheless, have a wonderful weekend my friends and happy gardening.
