Apparently, Morning Glories Can Grow and Bloom Inside
The bud behind this flower that will probably bloom later this morning.
The seed was harvested this year from a plant that was later eaten by a rat. The rat has been relocated. The seed was planted in August 2021.
Hope that I can harvest seed from the two plants growing in my kitchen. The pink flowers are lovely.
Why?
If a purple succulent leaves is desired, buy a succulent with purple leaves. There are loads of succulents in a variety of purple colors.
I don’t have purple succulents. When I brought the Echeveria Black Knight home, it was more of a reddish purple, natural, and beautiful. It has been living in the garden since July 2017. The color changes with the amount of light that it receives.
Much better than peeling paint.
Sorghum Gift
The drying leaf has gorgeous colors!
Weed Gift
The gift had multiple insects including a grasshopper. Rare to see grasshoppers in my gardens.
Ash and Squirrel
When I documented the Datura this morning I noticed ash floating through the air and settling on the plants. Is the ash from the Sequoia National Park Fire?
And a visitor–standing on the rabbit ornament eating Zinnia flowers.
Datura First Bloom
The plant was grown from a Datura seed mix. It was recently transplanted from a 4 inch pot into the succulent garden.
Pretty sure that it is a Datura metel Belle Blanche. Several years back I grew Datura Belle and the foliage, flower, and fragrance of this plant seems consistent with what I remember. Many Datura have a delicious fragrance in the evening. The Belle has fragrance but it is as annoying for me as some Narcissus.

I started marking my seedlings with clothes pins after the Blue Jay fiasco. I found every stake removed and tossed on the floor of the greenhouse.
The permanent marker is fading. Next go round I am planning to apply paint to the clothes pins before applying the identification in marker.
Can still see R20 C1. The location of the seedling was Row 20 and Cell 1 of the flat.
