These five cactus pads were rescued as tiny sprouts a from a single dying pad (its remains visible on the right side of the pot) that had disconnected from the main plant. I’m particularly fond of the exulting “arms” the pad in the middle has grown.
After Saturday’s rains, this tiny forest of mushrooms sprang up literally overnight.
One of my favorite signs of spring, this little flowering plant beneath the behemoth bougainvillea to the north of the front steps blooms annually, but usually only with one or two flowers. This year thanks to the increased rains it got an early jump and is really putting on a show.
Speaking of getting an early start, the backyard stand of callalilies has wasted no time making its presence known.
