Plant #4
Scientific name: Delosperma cooperi
A non-invasive iceplant? It exists! The California Invasive Plant Council considers this a non-invasive alternative to the harmful and highly aggressive Carpobrotus edulis. I planted it as groundcover for my “hellstrip”

Trying to get more consistent with this plant collection catalog project.
Pachira aquatica
“Money tree”
My number one houseplant recommendation for people who think they have a brown thumb. Easy to care for, quick growth, vertical interest. I also have a kokedama one.

Passiflora edulis ‘Frederick’
Common passionfruit. It took three years to flower, and this year, the fourth, I’m finally getting a substantial crop. I counted 50 fruits on my vine! I’ve heard there are tastier varieties out there. Anyone have experience?

Passiflora loefgrenii x caerulea
This ornamental passionflower is a beast and has completely covered a 20 foot fence I share with a neighbor. Not an edible fruit producing variety but the gulf fritillary loves it. 🦋

Restarting my catalog project for plants in my garden. This week for #gardenshour I’m featuring my Jimmy nardello peppers. 🌶️ They look spicy but have no heat and the 🐿️ leave them alone. My most productive pepper.

#gardenshour is celebrating the color green this week and so I snapped this photo of my aeoniums this morning. Contrary to what I’ve read, mine prefer full shade in the summer. The ones in the sun crisp and lose much of their leaves!

Don’t have a lot of blue tones in the garden this time of year, the closest are the passionflowers. #gardenshour

California Poppy
Eschscholzia californica
Without fail, California poppies take over my parking strip/hellstrip every spring. It’s an explosion of color that brightens the entire city block and one of my biggest gardening joys every year.

Fire Stick
Euphorbia tirucalli
I have a few of these, all started as cuttings. If you are outside zones 9-11, you can grow it as a houseplant! More ☀️ = more red coloring. Warning: when cut, this plant does seep a toxic white sap. Wear gloves! 🧤

Coleus
Usually grown as outdoor annuals, my oldest coleus are approaching two years old as indoor houseplants. The key is to pinch off the flowers so the plant doesn’t go to seed. Cuttings root easily and I’ve given multiple starts to friends.

One of my earliest houseplant acquisitions. I miss my red accent wall that really made photos of my plants pop. Indirect light and a weekly watering is all this needs.
