Our fearsome faucaria tigrina is flowering now, grown from seed given to us by Craig House Cacti Thank you!

Enjoying glorious weather Birmingham Botanical Gardens UK Beautiful autumnal borders beneath majestic towering trees

Gunnera have gigantic leaves but their size also offers the opportunity to examine leaf structure in exquisite detail, amazing

Found my new pet project in the bathtub this morning. Perhaps I should have spent a little more time researching the fixing 🤦‍♂️

I always feel like I’m not looking after my fishbone cactus very well. Then it goes a flowers! I can barely contain my excitement! Might become a plant parent MS Teams bore today 😆

55/120 bulbs planted, loved working in the rain 🌧

Was planning to plant the remaining 65 bulbs this morning but it’s raining cats and dogs

Update on the fishbone flower bud: it’s grown and has a red tip 🤦‍♂️

My small but deadly drosera capensis is flowering #FloweringFriday

Lunch in the garden today, switched the hubbub of the office for bird song and dahlias #SilverLining

Literally opening in front of my eyes! 😆

The fishbone cactus has flowered, opened leisurely to reveal an amazing structure and filled the room with a glorious scent

The scent of the fishbone cactus is definitely released at night, what pollinates them in the wild?

Still have 25 bulbs to plant from a shopping trip in Sept. Now I’ve gone and bought 45 more! Literally running out of space to hide them, let alone plant them. 🤦‍♂️

Planted tulip ‘cape cod’ and iris reticulata in a bulb lasagna, had to stop because it got dark and I couldn’t see!

The fishbone cactus flowers are done. They were amazing and it’s now a firm favourite. Who’s going to flower next?

Bananas outside my hotel apartment in Cyprus. Botanically speaking they are berries, they are also a joy

Skipped Halloween and heading full speed into Christmas with my first Baileys

Tomorrow I’m going to cut the hedge, I’m almost 100% certain I’ll do it 🤔

I’ll have a coffee then I think I’ll clean up #Lockdown #Joy
