Interesting, those almost look like serviceberry flowers to me! What species is that? #plantgeek
College today! Think this is a Cryptolaemus montrouzieri, or Mealybug ladybird juvenile. It was certainly chomping on the actual mealy bugs anyway! #plantgeek #ipm #ladybird #horticulture

Well it's that time of year where I need to except winter is here, and the netting has to come down the light waning and the grey dull days are here for the orchids to get through.

Tiny flowers of P. stricta. They are narrow, slightly translucent with maroonish vertical stripes. The flowers reflect light and appear glittery.
Full shot of the orchid in a green 3 inch square pot. The leaves are glossy and lance shaped. They punctuate the ends of fine brown stems.
Pleurothallis stricta put out a bloom finally! It’s significantly smaller than I was expecting…
Had to include a pic with my fingears for scale. It sure is cute tho- and sparkly😻✨

Heart shaped, heavily veined leaf of Anthurium crystallinum. The new leaf is green in the center and blush/rust colored closer to the margins.
Anthurium crystallinum looking good after spending two weeks in the greenhouse. It was a stump since December😬

Sauromatum giganteum, this beautiful, aroid is in flower lovely dark flower, but I grow this for its leaf. It absolutely reeks of stale faecal matter and has been kicked out of the greenhouse while working there. #greenhouse #flowers #garden #plants #aroids #nonorchid #plantnerd #plantgeek
They eventually got established, but it was over a month between planting the starts and getting the first buds. If it wasn’t so cool this spring, this may not have worked at all.

A dahlia plug with pale, fleshy tubers trying to break free and grow
Look at them there tubers🤠
I started these from seed at the beginning of March. So far so good with this experiment. Now hopefully they don’t rot with all this excess rain we’ve been having

A large potted wisteria plant being transported in the front, where I can glance over at it while I drive at highway speeds
Oh my godddd I lucked out with this native wisteria! It was going to be grown as a bonsai, so it has this gorgeous form right now. The question is now to bonsai, or not to bonsai. Contain it or let it go crazy… hmm… #wisteria #nativeplants #garden #plantgeek
