I was at the neighborhood Farm Supply picking up a few plants for the gardens when I found this bit of a succulent.

It was on the shelf next to the six pack of Kalanchoe pumila I selected. I took it with me when I checked out. Before I finished asking if I could have it, the person working in the garden center said yes.

I placed it on a pot of soil and hope that eventually some roots will emerge.

Placed five of Kalanchoe pumila in the garden.

I liked the plant so much, I potted one up to enjoy in the house.

Relieved that today my little Japanese Maple now looks like this–

The rain and storms have wrecked some of my succulents. We have had more rain from July to March, than we had July to June the previous year.

Not sure what this plant might be. I purchased it for .50 at the local Farm Supply

Some of the leaves on this plant are rotting.

Another plant that I have yet to identify, but it is lovely and about to bloom.

Datura pod, seed ready to be planted. The plant was started from a volunteer the previous year.

The images of the Solandra maxima are a plant that went nearly an entire year without a leaf. But it wasn’t dead. Thought I would wait and see.

The plant typically begins blooming in January. The plant is 12 feet long, has leaves, and at the very end of the plant, buds and flowers.
