A three year old Senecio 'peppermint sticks' showing its warm weather colors. When its spots turn from green to red, it reminds me of a giraffe's neck. #senecio #succulent #plantsky #gardeningfeed

During a morning hike today I got really close to this little rabbit enjoying some shade. They live in the dense chaparral which helps protect them from the hawks, harriers and golden eagles that hunt in the area. #NorCal #regionalpark #wildlife #hiking

It's starting to feel like #summer is close now that the Prickly pear flowers are back. 🌞 #cactusflowers #gardeningfeed #cactus #photography #succulents

A 'cat tails' Euphorbia (E. leucodendron) in crested form. It appears to be reverting to a normal growing pattern with stick-shaped branches growing out of the crested stems. #euphorbia #crested #succulents #plantsky #gardeningfeed

Miqueliopuntia miquelii cactus are native to coastal Chile, including the Atacama desert, one of the driest places in the world. This mostly blue specimen is a less common variation. #cactus #plantsky #succulent #bigspines #gardeningfeed #eastcoastkin

happy bday writer Countee Cullen, b.1903. "Love, leave me like the light, The gently passing day; We would not know, but for the night, When it has slipped away. Go quietly; a dream, When done, should leave no trace That it has lived, except a gleam Across the dreamer's face.”

This pink ice plant (Lampranthus deltoides) has tiny, chubby blue-green leaves with pink tips that match the flowers. They're great in a pot and as a ground cover. #succulent #flowers #plantsky #succulentflowers #gardeningfeed

Perfectly gorgeous portrait of a boy holding his hooded falcon, painted by Wallerant Vaillant who was born on this day in 1623.

A small wild cactus, with bright pink flowers, blooming on rocky slope of a desert mountain. The only cactus on that part of the mountain, making a lovely, and resilient, statement – bloom, where one is… #NaturePhotography #Flowers #RockinTuesday #BloomScrolling #NaturesBeauty #Cactus #Bloom

Very pleased to see one of my mammillaria cactus is growing flower buds, its the first time any of my cactuses have done that 🌱🌵🪴📷 #Succulents #Cacti

This was a free cactus that was neglected and in pretty rough shape. After a few months of pampering it's growing new pads and looking good. I really like the form and the white fuzz. Possibly an Opuntia 'snow white.' #cactus #rescueplant #gardeningfeed #succulents #plantsky

Stick! It's Stick. It's Bug. It's both Bug and Stick. It's Stick Bug 🤎

White-winged #doves migrate to the Sonoran Desert to breed during the saguaro's flowering season, transferring pollen & facilitating pollination, plus dispersing seeds from the #cactus fruit. We have SO MANY doves this year! Pollinate and disperse away, my friends!

Last year, I planted this cutting from a tree aeonium in a shady area of my backyard. They love the sun, but they can also thrive in partial shade. One of the reasons they're a personal favorite. 🌱 #aeonium #succulent #gardening #plants #gardeningfeed #plantsky

Sadly I did not know this for the first 55 years of my life. They do not teach you this. This is absolutely true. And we should honor all of them this Memorial Day and always 

another visit back to the virga skies from early April from the Broadway Trailhead in Apache Junction☁️🌵⛰️☁️

Happy Friday! 💙 This one is my favorite of the lupine pics this year. I love the lush green and the blues together. #lupines #indianadunesnationalpark #millerbeach #flowers #nature #photography
