Cool

My hands are dirty as I type this, fresh from the cool damp soil of the Bosworth median. I added just a few bits and pieces today to clean up a section of the deck out back here at home.
You've got your senecio vitalis's, crassula ovata's, bush aloes, and probably some plants I am forgetting right now. The oxalis is getting a firm start, so I think in a week or so I may just come out with a hoe and chop them off.













But look at this one! I feel 95% sure of identifying it as Fascicularia bicolor. If anyone knows otherwise I really would appreciate the information. (check down 2 postings to 'Rocks' to see the progress it has made)

Plethora

Today I finally took a moment on the way home to snap a picture or two of the Agave vilmoriniana. There are literally hundreds of bulbils growing, as it does, on the inflorescences. This means there will be a plethora of plants to share at some point come spring. They will be tiny little plant-lets, but they do grow easily in the right environment- and they can grow fast all things considered and aligned.
