Missed your januaripost, but here's mine for today.
A Crassula nemerosa; very, very tiny. For me not so easy to keep it alive.greets

February 2015 what looks good/bad/awful in your garden?
Comments (18)To answer Grant, ASUdevil & Waterbug; the plants you see growing on the fence (The fire stick) were all simply branching parts of a much larger plant from another property we have that were trimmed off (I wanted to get some of it for this purpose as we had sold the other property) for the exact reason of covering the less sightly chain link fence. You can VERY easily propagate these plants (and pencil cactus too) I simply let them "callous" over for about 1 1/2 days (some of the stems that we cut were over an inch across and took a little longer to dry out) to avoid rot - then I just stick them in the moist soil and they root! Mine that I've grown in my own yard here in CenPhx do NOT turn as red as my yard just seems to provide too much of a micro climate so they are mostly green most of the year. . . Couldn't be easier and I've NEVER had ANY summer damage from heat or direct sun - you can leave them unwatered until they start to "wrinkle" in the stems and they will literally bounce back. Only problem I've ever had is from frost . . ....See MoreFebruary 2015 Quilting/Sewing Goals
Comments (12)Hi. In January, I did manage to get one big top quilted and bound. Feels good to have it all done. Two more big ones to go. (thought it was just one more...my mind is scrambled!). Hopefully,will get another full-size top quilted in February. That`s about it for me. We are painting throughout the house and everything is "ìn slings"......as my mom would say. It's unbelievable how much stuff you manage to accumulate. I will be sorting it and trashing some and donating a lot. We have clothes that we haven't worn in years. Some people would be so happy to have them, so why have them hanging in the closets gathering dust. I feel ashamed that I have kept them so long. Hope all have a productive February. ~Geraldine...See MoreHealthy Check-In February 2015
Comments (5)Ooo, I'm envious of your 60 and sunny. On my way back from the gym this morning, I noticed the temperature was 21. Twenty. One. That's just not necessary. I'm glad your tests results were good. Yesterday I forgot to wear the chest strap for my HRM. How did that happen? I wear that thing 5-6 morning a week. I was wearing the watch but somehow or other forget the strap. What a doofus. Besides occasional forgetfulness, I'm same old, same old. I'm exercising and eating healthy but I do need to watch my portions. I'm doing a creativity challenge with my niece and nephew (through a parent/kid website). We email each other photos of our interpretation of the day's suggestion (things like mirror, stripes, tiny doodle). Maybe thinking about all the artistic challenges made me forgetful of my everyday routine? There is only so much active brain capacity. The longer daylight is certainly emotionally uplifting. I look forward to 60 degree, heck 40 degree days when I can get out and walk or ride my bike in comfort. Each day I am one day closer to spring....See MoreHelebores blooming in December 2015 due to unseasonably warm weather
Comments (8)I agree with floral. It may be early compared to other years - a factor of the mild weather - but there is really nothing you can do about it. The plants will bloom according to their internal biological clock, not necessarily according to a calendar schedule :-)) Just enjoy the blooms you get when you get them! The good news is the flowers on that particular hybrid will appear over an extended period of time and remain looking good even longer. Provided your winter doesn't get too similar to last year, your plants could still be in flower in February and March. FWIW, mine routinely bloom at this time of year. In fact, I just noticed my xhybridus with fat white buds showing........and those tend to be the latest of my hellebores to bloom, usually in February. btw, this is the notation Fine Gardening attaches to this plant: " A very early bloomer, even compared to other hellebores."...See More

9 years agoNot much going on here in fridge Michigan. This Rebutia flowers all year for me and I love going out to the greenhouse because, with our gray skies, this glimmer of sun helps. The Euphorbia usually goes dormant this time of year but for whatever reason we not only have leaves growing but its infamous lipstick flowers!

9 years agoHey Guys and Gals, we're not done with February pics, are we????? There has to be more.... more...more....
I brought this back from London, UK a couple of years ago. This is its first flower. I found two other plants locally and didn't realize this. My larger plants flower much more prolifically during the summer!
This one and the other Turbino's I have are very reliable flower producers...just don't water them too much!rosemariero

9 years agoI have an Aloe x spinnosissima . The aloe capitata aborted its bloom.
I rolled in the plants above due to a freeze coming tomorrow morning. I also had to cover some in-ground Aloe greatheadii andA. greenii that are in bloom. I hope that will keep the flowers from damage.

9 years agoCrenda, not only flowers but beautifully colored leaves on your succulents! Nil, great plants. Love that euphorbia. last of your photos looks like crassula Springtime?
Mara, I guess we all have some challenges with weather - even if you can leave your plants outside, still need to watch for occasional freezing temps. Always good to see your photos.
I have only few kalanchoe blooms right now.

Rina, here's a pic showing the plant. It's the green one. I'm going with Sedum something instead of Crassula Springtime.
