A few shots of my big-box phalaenopsis while it's in full bloom. It has a forked bloom stem and a few more buds coming! #plants #plantsofbluesky #orchids #phalaenopsis #orchidsofbluesky #photography

Nostalgic for the Halloweens of my childhood. Our Jack-O-Lantern blow mold always lit the front windows. I love this guy. (Photo is not mine). #halloween

Congtratulations! (And I can't escape the boomer/genX notion that smoking just *looks* sexy--I think we were all brainwashed by the tobacco companies and the golden age of Hollywood). But here's another hot guy smoking to add to your sexy smoking smorgasbord:

A glamour shot of my gasteria in bloom. And a full shot, where I haven't cropped off the damage my demon cats have done to the leaves by nibbling them! Anyway, this plant has obv. seen better days, but it's never given me a bloom before! #succulents #gasteria #plants #demoncats

I have two. Well, more than two. But two I'm sharing to answer the question. U2's Joshua Tree; Elvis Costello's King of America.

White carnations. I love all carnations, and I prefer color, but white ones have the most fragrant scent. Light and sweet and simple. And they last forever.

We're having show and tell today. At least two of us are. @jimcampbellart.bsky.social This is a blue rock my dad found and gave to me when I was about 4 or 5. Mine doesn't glow, but it's definitely a rock. Not painted; it's had many baths over the years, and has much sentimental value.

More white flowers. Whimsical butterfly ranunculus. This started out as a buttery yellow, but as it aged, it lost color, leaving it very pale. A favorite flower to bring home, it lasts weeks as blooms fade and buds open. #flowers #floristlife #ranunculus #photography

Playa Blanca roses. In my opinion, the prettiest white variety. Shot here in the gloom of twilight on my kitchen counter. I'm a florist by trade, and in past life, I was a photographer. #flowers #roses #floristlife #photography

Two new violet arrivals. The darker purple/white is no ID, picked up at the grocery store for $5. The other guy is a hybrid, called Carolina Absolute Ripper. I'm excited! #africanviolets #plants #flowers #pretty
