I remember some of my 'chids rest for 2 years before they go blooming again..maybe your orchids will finally awaken now.

Thanks for the boost, Tarev, I sure hope you're right!!!!

First bloom done! But two more appeared

Trying to get photos with/without flash:

It is a very bright bloom! I was looking at a DEVILS TONGUE yesterday and noticed how green the bloom are. Is that normal? They almost looked dyed. I was in the garden center buying a bag of Cacti mix, I am planning or repotting several and putting them in a large dish.

Hmmm.... I just did a Google Image search for "Devil's Tongue" and didn't end up with any green flower pictures, but a bunch of yellow peppers! Do you have the latin name? Common names can be so confusing.

hmm, I may have to make another trip back to the store lol. You know I will buy it.

Gosh, if you do, post a pic! I'm wondering, now...

Here's is another first time bloomer for me! For awhile I thought I have effectively killed this succulent, looked too dried out and crinkled from the top...ah but this Lithops is a true fighter! I will update the photos as I see it display the bloom formation. Makes me want to do a very happy dance knowing it is actually surviving its first year here

Wow! Good growing Tarev!!

Thanks Tee and Jonna!

And here are updated photos taken awhile ago..pushing out a little more: love documenting bloom shows!



More faucarias setting up blooms....not deterred by the rains we had recently!

Looking good, tarev. I love it when the cacti and succulents bloom. They are so interesting.

Yeah, Lithops don't do much for me, but those cute little daisies are enchanting...
