Growing plants is therapeutic, respectability politics make me stabby.

Thank you! Spines are such a cool subject.

We're finally getting our allotted few weeks of cold nights per year but it hasn't been cold enough to be worried for the few plants that may get smacked by a sudden light freeze.

That's a good approach! 👍😂

Such cute little things! Looks like they're getting enough sun. I remember that being the tricky part when I was growing them ages ago. I received two of them as a gift and was so proud of my young self.

I must admit that I've never gotten into rexes. When I was growing Begonias before, I always had a hard time keeping them alive and then gave up in favor of other rhizomatous types.

Beautiful! Ferocacti are amazing. They use F. wislizeni in landscapes here in Vegas. I should check for seed next time I see one. They're usually full of yellow fruits year round.

I had totally forgotten about harmonyfoliage.com

If I can't find 'Snow Capped', I know I can find a worthy substitute there.

I like how the foliage on this one is less sharply angular and a little bit softer than other angel wings.

*Note: this plant will also benefit from placing with other plants (for extra humidity) or in a greenhouse.

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.

As there is with so many other genera, unfortunately.

It's always nice to see Melastomataceae in cultivation either way.
