My stepmom’s beautiful waterlily popped out a chimera colored bloom! 🤩 It’s so gorgeous. It had already closed up for the day by the time I got there to see it myself, but I was told it was practically glowing in person. I forgot to take a picture but there was also a lily pad that was half variegated, half plain green. I just think plant genetics are so dang cool! Usually this plant has flowers that look like the pink speckled side with red variegated leaves

picked up this desert rose and it’s my first time having one of them. i’ve watched many videos on pruning these so they become more full and have more flowers, but i’m still very confused by it. i’ve seen people cut the branches short and the plant has no leaves at all, and then it grows more a couple weeks later. is that literally what you do? i don’t want to cut the stems and have absolutely zero leaves for a couple weeks or it ends up dying, but if that’s the way, then i will have to.

I can recommend Crossandra ‘Orange Marmalade’ as a reliable daily bloomer all spring and summer. It’s hardy in zones 10 and 11. It dies very well in pots when the weather warms up. I’ve had one in a planter for over a year. I take it inside during a hard freeze. It t propagates very easily. Just pinch of a three inch piece and push it directly into soil, pushing a leaf node below the soil. I don’t even remove the lower leaves. It roots very quickly and produces flowers within a few weeks.
