My latest Dudleya purchases, hopefully no one steals them like my 5 year old chalky big boy in the front yard. Keep your Dudleyas behind the fence!

My first ever ever ever manzanita blossoms first week January 2025. Also learned my phone photography skills need upgrade. Years of IG made me take macro photography for granted.

Planted jaboticaba in 2010, left the country and returned 2024 to taste the grape-like fruit. Not bad! Thick skin keeps birds away

San Diego Balboa park has grown its own hobbit house with a Brachychiton!

Mission manzanita planted Oct 2024, blossoms Jan 2025, and some poop on a leaf
