Gymnocalycium ochoterenae - started from seed 2/7/23. I love how much personality it has despite being a wee thing.

A pot of pretty rosettes 💐 Most IDs in alt text 🙏

A pot of rosette succulents in various shapes and sizes. A large purply green Graptoveria 'Fred Ives' is at the top. A pale lotus flower-like Echeveria 'Lola' is in the center 3 green rosettes with a resemblance of artichokes are Graptopetalum bellum. The smallest rosettes are a light green with tapered leaves - those are Sedeveria 'Peckerwood.' At 2 o'clock in the pot is a Echeveria subcorymbosa. It has thinner leaves of a light blue shade with red leaf margins.

Ferrocactus Wislizeni or possibly Herrarae, a twisted barrel cactus, grown from seed and just recently moved to a pot of its own (as the bowl it was in was turning into a bit of a knifefight) 🌱🌵🪴

The blood lilies (Scadoxus multiflorus) are in full bloom today. The blooms look like exploding fireworks. Unfortunately they only bloom once a year for 2-3 days, but the wait is worth it. 🌱 #MyGarden #FlowerReport #BloomScrolling

Three years ago I was lucky enough to go on a swamp walk in the Fakahatchee Strand of the Everglades in southwest Florida where we saw these amazing orchids blooming in their native habitat.

Good morning early birds! I woke super super super early, but this is such a peaceful time: the day ahead like a secret waiting to be revealed!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Whoever leaked this information served Hegseth up in a platter. Good.

I close the week on Primulaceae with a few leftover photos:
1. Myrsine asymmetrica of New Caledonia has asymmetrical leaves. Very weird!
2. Myrsine divaricata is one of New Zealand’s divaricating shrubs.
3. Primula clevelandii var. clevelandii (formerly Dodecatheon c.)

Oops, almost forgot to show you the leaves. They are heart-shaped and have a soft, quilted appearance. 5/5

Tiny white specks form in various places on the leaves. These are supposedly protein-rich pearl bodies and suggest a mutualistic relationship with ants (or maybe predatory mites?). 4/5

. . . the leaves and inflorescences sprout from a rhizome that is expanded into a big, bizarre, irregular lump that grows above the potting mix. You’d think the tuberous rhizome would make the plant drought tolerant, but instead, it shrivels very rapidly whenever the potting mix dries out. 3/5
Fleshy stalks sprouting from a chunky rhizome that is growing above the surface of the potting mix. another view of the rhizome. This one is growing in a basket where the potting mix has all rotted away, so it is rooting into old, decayed rhizome segments.

Monolena primuliflora is a plant that becomes cooler the longer you look at it. It’s flowers are pretty, but no different than any number of Melastomataceae. Usually only one is open at a time, but . . .

It's definitely one of the "premium" (Begonia seller's terms) SE Asian Begonias. I didn't think anything could look as black and stunning as "Darth" (B. darthvaderiana) and then I learned about this beauty. Here's a pic of "Darth" for comparison. They're both just so incredible.
