going out with a bang

planted from seed, this is my Nostrum this morning. This one has struggled all summer, but two feet away the Nostrum is thriving. blame it on the sun or…maybe the cat?

aloe with a bow

this is a wee flower from a Kalanchoe plant. the flowers grow so tightly together, that when i tried to show how beautiful the flower is, it just looked like an orange blob. so i picked one. NOW, you can see how spectacular it is.
