OT: A bit of color in the GH

13 years ago

I haven't really looked in the GH for a while and was surprised to see several cactus and succulents in bloom. This adenium has been in bloom for the better part of the past year.

Spring can't be far. I love the black pussy willows. The gray and pink ones haven't even opened yet.

You're so lucky to have a greenhouse. You found nice treats in there!

All very cool looking, Karyn! Is the 2nd one a rats tail cactus? I love to see the pussy willow, although I don't have any.

Yes it's a rats tail. There's a bunch more buds developing but for some reason this one only has a couple flowers open at the same time. It goes on with 1-3 blooms at a time for several weeks. I wish they'd all bloom at once. If you want any pussy willows just let me know. I actually have a bunch of gray ones that have begun rooting because I forced them into bloom a couple weeks ago.
