Succulent Succulents

Cacti and their succulent friends. Mostly mine and occasionally reposts.

I logged back into this cursed website because what the actual hell is this plastic garbage on this cactus

[iheartcactus]

So I got this advert on Instagram for Valentine's presents, most were food, and this popped up, and I was like, cool but how do they mail this, are they like, freeze dried, and HAHAHA NO IT'S 25 BASIC SEEDS FOR 29 AMERICAN DOLLARS

The most perplexing thing is that the rest was food and not that outrageously priced for fancy snacks but, are you kidding me it's marigolds and stuff.

I'm really bad at posting. Wow.

I went shopping today! A few of these I already had, but they need planting. Look at that tall tropical bby.

[iheartcactus]

Wow, I've been away a while. I've suffered a mass plant death (IT SNOWED, I HAD LITERALLY NEVER SEEN SNOW IN MY LIFE I HAD NO REASON TO EXPECT SUDDEN FREEZE AND SADNESS), Link is still being a puppy but not as bad, and I'm saving for vacation. Here's a giant clump of aloe. I uhh, I did also achieve a car title, so whoooo

[iheartcactus]

I AM ALIVE, REALLY. I PROMISE. I acquired the crazy and plants were making my crazy worse but I'm okay. Really. Also like, I DID have a puppy, but he's getting better. By better I mean, he's olderish. Garden Puppy Link has a Canine Good Citizen diploma now!! Also I have ROSES. Roses are my favorite everything, specifically white. However, I saw these little guys, and they had bees and LOOK AT ALL THE COLORS THEY HAVE BEEN. Like this isn't just a case of lighting in photography, they seriously change colours. Newest pictures are first. I'm unsure why that one rose decided to be very lavender, it's not an age thing, it did it promptly upon blooming, the others never turned like it did. It's "Cinco de Mayo" and it should be fabulous for years to come. Must make sure to not murder it. Actually, it's beside a well established bush so I've done it before.

Stapeliads! Pendula looks familiar but Google claims that's right, just misspellt. Mutant had some dying off but is overall great, gigantea is happening but apparently lost one.

I’m just going to put this right here … have at it, Tumblr.

[syngoniums]

Tag yourself I’m the damp kalanchoe front left

[iheartcactus]

I'm the cold, unforgiving glass, holding the mess together. ...For now.

[omgplants]

I was just wondering if anyone could help identify what this plant might be?

[iheartcactus]

...Euphorbia bicompacta var. rubra?

[iheartcactus]

New suspicious orchid. Unsure what it's doing. It has a slight peloric ruffle with strange hot pink margin.

[iheartcactus]

I'm so bad at posting. Also my stupid phone has been double posting by itself. Anyway, black crepe myrtle. Was it called black diamond? I think it's supposed to bloom red. Goth crepe myrtle.

If I can next year I’m gonna see about investing in growing a planter that has nothing but garlic and the hottest of hot peppers.

Ironically not to eat but to amp up the strength in my detergent bug spray for the greenhouse.

[iheartcactus]

My family was disappointed when my ghost pepper bush died. Mostly because fuck squirrels, that’s why.

[iheartcactus]

Dendrobium keiki and shopping pictures. I have no idea what to do with these, they're weird as hell and growing fast. Too dry here to leave there. I bought a massive cloud of chocolate scented oncidium, heaven scent 'rendolence' says the tag. I saw these other adorable preciouses and the lawn flamingos are foraging.

Garden Puppy Link has encountered a earthworm for the first time, and he does not like it. I was afraid he'd try to eat it, but her was just no why put it down. Also i found over FIFTEEN in a container, holy crap. I think he's very concerned over me holding worms. They're in the ground now.

[iheartcactus]

Look, I'm buying plants again! This is Hoya curtisii. I got this terrible job based depression last year and I quit the week after mother's day. My new job is great, and my supervisor is a cat! Is your supervisor a cat? It's great. I love my job, I just couldn't keep doing it where I was.

[iheartcactus]

The stapelia got too heavy. :c

[syngoniums]

It’s that time of year again… hopefully no hail because most of my outdoor plants have no cover at the new place :O

[iheartcactus]

no, no more hail, please anything but that, never againnnnn

*cries blood*

I didn't know I had this orchid, but it put up a spike, so whoooo. The first flowers were torn up by holly, but I'm in process of violently destroying it. Also the holly is hiding MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF BUGS of the eww eww no get away from my babies varieties so nope.
