Ice plant

 

You know those decorative cups and plates that seem to accumulate even though no one ever puts food or drink in them? This one now has a plant in it.

Purslane shows the wonders of selective breeding

One is wild, the other is not.

Flowering Maple and Mushrooms

This seedling has friends.

Yellow Rose

It looks ratty but smells divine.

African violet cutting

Many books say you can stick an African violet leaf in dirt and it will send out roots and make a new plant. They do not mention that it will take almost a month before any sign of new life shows itself above the dirt.

Datura seeds

Maybe it will self-seed.

Hyacinth bean

A neighbor has grown these for years and gave me a paper bag of dried bean pods. When the vines bloom all at once, it can look at a distance almost like wisteria. Sometimes the flowers have a faint yet very sweet scent.
