OOo, Ted that little Euphorbia is so cute. I like its fat little striped body. Are Adeniums aka Desert Roses also 'fat plants' because they have a caudex? I was thinking your little Pachy flower reminded me of a Desert Rose.

I got a new baby from a friend on DG - Colocasia 'Tea Cups'. It's a cool plant in that the leaves collect rain water then tip it out over the end of the leaf. I think it will make a charming addition to my pond, if only I can keep it from completely taking over. Small pot, no fert, let's hope will keep it in bounds. I'll try for a picture of it 'pouring the tea' if it ever sees fit to rain . . Nice dark stems, veins and leaf edges, too.

Shooting Stars Hydrangea is blooms again. Every year I say I'm going to give up on these, they suffer so from fungal blights in the summer, no matter what measures I take. But then each spring I find them in the border blooming like this.
