Good to Grow has a Stanley, also known by some as a Kalanchoe luciae although we call it K. thyrsiflora. It’s been doing very well, thank you, on the kitchen windowsill.

Click through for all the Kalanchoe goodness.

Nice photos from around the nursery on this is 4 my blog.

Check out the picture of Keith in the pot.

Whippet pictures!

And why didn’t he share the praying mantis video? Why?

I see that Plants are the Strangest People has a Stapelia in bloom. Very attractive! (To flies).

It turns out, miracle grow notwithstanding, you can grow that. Yay!

A third leaf appears on a 4 year old Sansevieria at Plants are the Strangest People.

When will the awesome ever end?

In the meantime, since you haven’t clicked over yet, here’s a picture of some Echeverias. Enjoy!

An Epiphyllum, recently from a cutting, blooms in Iowa, according to Plants are the Strangest People.

Lots of blooming photos from all angles!

It’s my summer blog break. 2, maybe 3 days.

Yay!

Very fashionable. I especially like the small fish swimming in front.

I see The Indoor Garden(er) got his stapeliad back to DC safely from Berkeley. The story of how this Stapelia got to DC started in Iowa, where  Plants Are The Strangest People blogged about one first, leading The Indoor garden(er) to stop by the store and pick one up on his travels.

Iowa –> DC –> Berkeley

The circle of life!

By the way, we subscribe to the Stapelia theory of stapeliads, and do not approve of the Orbea theory of stapeliads.

In New Mexico, CactGuy shares a picture of a wall.

A restaurant’s cactus mosaic wall.

Nice.

It’s Cactus Monday at a Succulent Life and there’s a cactus ring and a cactus with cat mascot watercolor. You have to look closely to see the tiny saguaros on the ring, but it’s worth it.

From bloglet. And don’t miss the cactus from the San Diego Zoo that also needs to be weeded. I always see the weeds poking out between the spines on those golden barrels.

From sitting-looking, who took the picture from a Harpers from 1897. That’s awhile ago.

I see prickly pear cactus and bicycles, a standard combination for men with guns back in the 19th century.

Wow, those are some beautiful lithops at Lithops Stories.

Luther from Oregon Cactus Blog captured a variegated Euphorbia milii on film. That’s some strong variegation. No subtleties at all.

They’re so waxy and all…

Plants are the Strangest People has some Hoya bella flowers going right now. Some scent, not too much.

Nice!

Sweetstuff Sassy Succulents has found a new use for old Father’s Day Gifts gone awry – make a hanging succulent wall unit out of it. In this case, it’s a BBQ grill cage stuffed and planted and hung.

Hort Log has some beautiful Hoya lasiantha bloom photos. They claim they look like molars, but I think they look more like bats. Yes, I said it, they look like little yellow bats hanging down from the top of a tiny dark cave.

What, you haven’t clicked over yet? Stopped reading this and click over.

Yvonne and Herman post succulent photos, including some transplanted into South Africa Cactus, at Life in a village named Stanford. Nice selection.

However, I’m not sure I would click this link to the spider photo on their blog.

As long as we’re talking about orchids on the blog just before Mother’s Day, we see that Plantgasm has had a Mother’s Day miracle!

It’s a Dendrobium seed pod, in a post called I Think I Impregnated My Dendrobium. Here’s the flowers.

My Back 40 has been walking the Bernal Heights neighborhood recently and took a lot of pictures. Did I say a lot? I mean A LOT. Don’t click over unless you have a few minutes to stroll through the photos. Some nice succulents mixed in among all the other crazy plants and stuff.

Irises, Echiums, Aeoniums, Agaves, and a really giant Fremontodendron…

For some reason there’s even a Pittosporum.

Enough photos that all you people who have never walked through the gardens of a San Francisco neighborhood will get a really good idea of what that’s like.

What’s the latest trend in gardening? Growing your vegetables in the airport.

From Our Little Acre, pictures from O’Hare including ripe red tomatoes.

So do you agree that this is a trend? Am I on top of the trendspotting? Airport gardening?

Loree from Danger Garden came and visited us on her trip to the SF Garden Show, as well as squeezing in the time to visit other local Bay Area nurseries like Flora Grubb and Annie’s Annuals, so you know she was busy.

Here’s her visit to Cactus Jungle on her blog.

And if you must find out what our competitors locally are doing, you can see Danger Garden’s visits to Flora‘s artsy settings and Annie’s growing grounds too. Click away!

It’s true, there are blogs about out there. Be careful.

Ruffly pink Echeveria from Oregon Cactus Blog. And another, too.

Lithops seed capsules with a very thin membrane. Growing Lithops from seed is fun!

Mark’s Leucospermum is finally in bloom in Oakland.

Now that’s a hell of a bloom.

Cactus Boots? In Houston?

There are a lot of succulents at the SF Botanic Garden.

UC Davis apparently had an enormous plant sale Sunday. Veltheimias!
