Every year, numerous times, i curse myself for getting glochids all over myself. Why do i put up with these plants?
Oh yeah:
 |
| because of these flowers! |
 |
| even newly replanted they bloom! |
 |
| these ones (marcocentra) have always been my favorite |
 |
| these defy being photographed! |
This year was a long blooming year - as of mid may, there are still some buds waiting to pop.
 |
| This one is brand new/never flowered... i wonder what color it will be? |
This was the first time I saw these flowers:
 |
| a very soft pink! |
 |
| these are so loud they deserve a 2nd picture |
 |
| these will also be a very soft pink.. but on purple pads |
 |
| these are also new! |
 |
| these will be yellow! |
And then there is still orange and peach to come! I need to find some red flowering ones...
(wait - no - i don't need more plants, and definitely not more opuntias. Although i forget the glochids soon enough...)
Nice collection! No blooms have opened here yet, although there are a few buds forming.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers ARE impressive but I haven't been able to get over the glochids...
ReplyDeleteI just noticed a few blooming for the first time in my garden as well - exciting stuff.
ReplyDeletePretty but a plant-at-your-own-risk variety.
