Another flower and old traffic photo

 These photos have nothing to do with each other...but it you figure out a theme, let me know!

One of the three Kalanchoes that have started to bloom. They'll continue putting these little blossoms out for the next several months probably.


I think this is Houston in 1925.  I picked it up from Facebook. 

The last time I drove through downtown Houston (don't ask but it's definitely been decades ago) I was thrilled that if you drove exactly the speed limit, you could go through green lights for about a mile or so.

Some plants around the house


This pretty succulent is a daughter of one I got at a wedding 2 years ago. Thanks Barb and Marty for the cute gift!


There's a lot happening in the little shallow dish she's growing out of...


A leaf that fell off is blossoming into a new plant!


And this jade plant has also rooted from a leaf. I've got 2 more planters full of these jade plants...they are very prolific!


I have had this purple Oxalis, shamrock, in this same pot, for many years...I forget when I first stuck it in here. The little bucket has no drainage, and as the plant has dying leaves, I just shove them back into the bottom of the leaves, creating it's own compost...and water it maybe weekly. I love how it contrasts with green plants.


One of my orchid plants is trying to bloom again...with this stem stretching up. I'll do a splint for it soon, so it won't strain the stem whenever it blooms.



 These two huge Kalancho plants have spent the summer outside, and are pretty healthy. Some of the leaves should fall off during the winter. I'm glad I was able to give another Kalancho to a friend...spreading the greenery!
