Trichocereus Grandiforus Blooms in Neon
When I see the buds forming on my trichocereus grandiflorus, I get really exited. The flowers are quite large, and the petals literally glow with iridescent color, like, well, neon. Pictures just don’t do them justice, although every year I drag out the camera and try...
It is Springtime in the Greenhouse
I am just having more fun walking into the greenhouse every morning to see what is blooming. First it was the blizzarde. Now we are having dustbowl-worthy winds and dirt, sand dunes where there should be lawns, and still no rain in sight, but the greenhouse provides a...
The Wyoming Cactus Are Blooming
On February 25 we endured a classic blizzard that left us with four inches of snow and higher drifts all over the place. Six days later, March 2, the sun finally came out; the wind was still blowing, but the snow had melted, leaving us with the brown and barren...
The Warm and Cozy Greenhouse
The blizzard hit early in the morning this past Monday. And it was a doozy. Not as much snow as those of you who live in the far north take for granted, but the wind kicked up to 30 to 50 mph, visibility was nonexistent with the snow traveling sideways in that wind....
Echeveria var. Sleepy
Echeveria v. Sleepy. The blooms are small but dainty and pretty.
Neoporteria
Neoporteria. I bought this cactus several years ago because I liked the white spines, but was very pleasantly surprised and pleased when it bloomed-and bloomed and bloomed! The flowers last four or five days, and it will bloom off and on all year. So I highly...

Kalanchoe Blossfeldiana, Yellow
I have shared the red kalanchoe with you earlier, and it is blooming even more now- but here is the same plant in yellow. This kalanchoe will bloom off and on all year, so it is a nice additions to your collection. There is also a pink variety, but I don’t have that...
Aloe Variegata
Aloe variegata hybrid. I took these two pictures on February 2nd. A short eight days later, two more blooms appeared- Bless its heart! Just blooming its little head off! The plant itself is attractive; the blooms are fun. I highly recommend it for your collection.
Hatiora Salicornioides, aka Rhipsalis Salicornioides
I first identified this cactus as rhipsalis salicornioides and then found it listed under hatiora salicornioides. Technically this plant is also a epiphyte, which means it grows in trees, and is related to Christmas cactus.
