I love this photo of Cloris Leachman and Gene Wilder on the set of Young Frankenstein.

Coyote pups at Graceland Cemetery!

It's always a guessing game when a succulent will flower for the first time. I've had a couple of them for over two years. As of this week, the wait is over. 🥳 #cactus #aloe #cactusflowers #bloomscrolling #gardeningfeed #plantsky

Stoked to see this spider friend in our garden! Argiope aurantia 'Yellow Garden Spider' - her body is about the size of my thumb.

Sure, it's true this variegated "corn cob" euphorbia is poisonous, but does the edible version have pink antenna? #euphorbia #succulent #summercolor #plantsky #gardeningfeed #photography

Sage, one of our long-timer beagle on wheels was adopted! She spent nearly 650 days in a loving foster home while she patiently waited for a home of her very own. We are thrilled for this happy-go-lucky gal and her new mom, congratulations!!

Tephrocactus are uniquely shaped small cactus from Argentina. These are around 3-4 years old. They're also fragile and a single bump can knock off a stem! Details in alt text. #cactus #tephrocactus #succulents #plantsky #gardeningfeed

Help someone today. Every day

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

Forget all the annoying stuff in the world for a few seconds and enjoy the natural beauty of Brazil’s Seven-coloured Tanager (Tangara fastuosa) Photo: Luiz Cavalcanti Damasceno

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
