Two Euphorbia milii (Crown of thorns) in a white pot with two narrow planters. Both have a stem with large thorns. One has small round red flowers and the other has yellow and pink flowers.

A pair of young Crown of Thorns succulents. Don't let its appearance fool you. This plant has sharp thorns and a poisonous latex sap. Euphorbia milii. 🌱

I do too. This one reminds me of pink flamingos.

There's nothing you could have done differently. 😄

A Kalanchoe Fedtschenkoi that has turned pink and orange in the sun. There are rows of tubular shaped flowers that point downward with bright orange petals.

A "Lavender Scallops" succulent with colorful lantern shaped flowers that mirror the color of the leaves that turn a similar shade in the sun. Kalanchoe Fedtschenkoi. 🌱

Thank you! I like the comparison to daffodils. They really are happy little flowers.

Thank you! 😄

A Ghost plant surrounded by other colorful succulents. There are several flower stems extending forward with dozens of tiny star shaped flowers. They're white with yellow centers.

I look forward to the tiny star-shaped flowers of this purple Ghost plant every year. Graptopetalum paraguayense. 🌱⭐️

Large clump of an Aloe plant in bloom with many tall spikes of bright orange tubular flowers rising above blue-green spiny leaves in a dry garden bed.

TGIF! Sharing this blooming Aloe to brighten your weekend. 🌼🔥 #BloomScrolling #plantsky

A Kalanchoe baharensis (Felt plant). It's about 18" tall and has very unique fuzzy triangular shaped leaves. Leaves can get 10-15" which some say look like an elephant's ears. This one is about 4 years old. It's grown with the smaller succulents around its base for almost 3 years.

This unique succulent from Madagascar is the "Felt plant" or "Elephant Ears", and can get 10-20 feet tall. I'm hoping for six ft., but will need to practice patience with its slow, but steady, growth. Kalanchoe baharensis. 🌱

Occasionally my photos look better on my phone than on Bluesky. But this isn't one of them. 👍

Such a beautiful plant too.

This may be my favorite bee/flower photo of yours. Wow.

Thanks Margot! I do like how this one came out.

A Mangave "Pineapple Express" with dark green color and brown spots. The older leaves are long and slightly curved with tiny teeth on the edges. The new leaves at the center are already showing the same color and shape.

A bright red, cup-shaped fungus, the inner surface is a vibrant red, while the outer surface is paler and covered in tiny hairs, often found growing in leaf litter on twigs with moss already established.

A large and almost pristine scarlet elf cup fungus, spotted this very afternoon. It must have only just appeared because every other one I saw had already been extensively munched upon by something 🌱🍄

Welcome Robert. Looking forward to seeing your garden transform. 👍

A medium size tree in a supermarket parking lot. It has light colored spring flower buds that are yellow from the street light nearby. The sky is dark blue that turns lighter blue near the horizon.

As I was putting groceries in my trunk, I noticed this tree was highlighted perfectly by the street light. Then I noticed the sky behind it. Amazing colors at that moment.

Meet the duo who truly define partners for life.

Officer Brian Santos and his K9 partner Kyra steal hearts with a dance break at the Cocoa Police Department in Florida (They're like a family since 2018).

Thank you 😊

Thanks Margot. And the July flowers are gorgeous.

A growing group of Aloe nobilis rosettes. The leaves are short and thick with tiny white thorns on the margins.

After nearly three years, the small Aloe nobilis I planted has successfully taken over the small mound I created for it. Love the dark green color and dense group of rosettes. 🌱

Getting Hitchcock vibes.

Sure! Good luck.

Good question. I think the main factor is lots of light. All of mine are growing outdoors where they get enough sun. Also it's important not to overwater them. I haven't gotten one to flower indoors yet, but know they need tons of light from a bright southern or western facing window.
