Les personnes qui me rendent visite 1 à 2 fois par an : "'à chaque fois que je viens il y a toujours plus de plantes" (non, n'exagérons rien, c'est juste que je les bouge de place régulièrement, il y a quelques nouvelles boutures -je dis bien QUELQUES- et certaines grandissent vite). Le traditionnel "mais ça va devenir une jungle bientôt !" me fatigue par contre...
Mais j'avoue, ça me fait rire de voir les gens se débattre avec ma fougère qui est juste à côté de la porte d'entrée et qui accroche tout ce qui passe

Prolly jinxing myself but of all things an amaryllis bulb I got in 2020 finally decided to bud! That's my freesia in back. Got it in 2021. It's only bloomed once but hoping this year. Smells marvelous! Split up my succulent pups from mom for more space.

I bought a tiny little starter plant of Hoya Retusa (the Grass Leaved Hoya) just about four years ago now, on Etsy. For a while it looked really weak, but then it seemed to stabilize in its new pot.
It has grown VERY sloooowly for me, but it does a little better each year.
A year ago it produced one tiny blossom. Just one.
Well last night in my office I smelled the distinct fragrance of a hoya flower, but I could not find any blooms on my 'usual suspects' hoyas. But then I finally found THREE little single blossoms happily blooming on my Retusa... yay! It's an appealing sweet light scent. This plant is very undemanding and looks very pretty hanging in the window with its delicate grasslike fronds.

Pinguicula laxifolia is flowering. The plant itself is out of focus in the background; the butterwort in the foreground is a spontaneous leaf bud off of a Pinguicula moranensis plant. The flower is about half an inch across.

Mad Max, my carnivorous swamp buddy is trying to bloom.

My Schlumbergera has gifted me another blooming yr so time for an annual portrait.

Went a bit bokeh-fied (f/3.5) this yr. Such wonderful 3-D shape and that magenta really heats up a room. I like my new pot 2.

Callisia gentlei var. elegans is not usually one of my favourites, but those pinstripes really are something.
