A small Lithop bloom is opening during the day and closing up in the evening now for several days in one of the planters.

Sweet one!
Hibiscus Petra today.

I love Hibiscus! How do you overwinter them inside without Whiteflies infestations?

I spray occasionally with the Bayers.

Ah! Years ago /bB ( before Bayers) I tried to keep some Hibiscus on our glassed-in corridor at work. No dice!! Whiteflies city!
I had to give it up.

I keep some of the Rhipsalis at the lowest tier against the housewall in the greenhouse. I thought it was early in the season for the Rhipsalis pilocarpa to be flowering!
I pulled it out for some pictures.

Wow Ursula. All your house plants seem to thrive. What a beaufiful collection!

Here is Amaryllis Joker. New this year.

That's a pretty one ,lindsey!

I wish it were mine! Susan is the very lucky grower of that beauty!

Oops! Sorry...senior moment.

This one is called Jade Serpent and should be opened by the time I get back to work Sunday night. The stems are a very jade green color. Lighter than most Amaryllis stems. I think all 3 bulbs look like they will have 3 stems each.

Susan, I don't think I've ever seen an Amaryllis with more than 2 spikes...where did you get your bulbs from?

There is a seller on eBay called rarebulbs that has a lot of the South African Amaryllis. He tends to sale them 3 at a time and I like to put all 3 in one pot. The SA ones are faster growing and a little smaller than most, but seem to have 2-3 stems per bulb even when new. He also send me a free bulb with my order for the 6 bulbs.

Hmmm. Pretty sure that's where I got Cupido but it hasn't bloomed in 2 years.

I found this Euphorbia locally yesterday. Love the yellow to pink blend and my white x lomi will have a buddy.

Nice large bracts!

Pretty Euphorbia. Are the just houseplants or can you grow them outside?

Here is Jade Serpent in bloom.

Too cold here! But there are varieties of euphorbia for the garden (green and yellow). It's a big family. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E...

Here are some of my E. x lomi/Thai Giants sitting on the top-shelf against the house wall in the greenhouse. I was standing on my small ladder to take pictures of the Blc Dennis Kone, turning around and shooting across the room was a given. The spikes in the pictures are from the Laelia autumnalis. The plant dropping its leaves is Pachypodium horombense. ( Most of my Pachypodiums aare now going dormant.)
